Automation and control
Sensors, controllers, and dashboards that run the house to a strategy instead of to a series of manual reactions.
- Climate, irrigation, and lighting under coordinated control
- Continuous logging so every decision can be reviewed against outcomes
- Remote monitoring and alarms for out-of-range conditions
- Open, affordable hardware wherever it can do the job
Sustainability
Resource efficiency is not a separate feature. In a closed system it is simply what good engineering looks like.
- Water recirculated rather than discharged
- Fertiliser kept in the loop and out of waterways
- Energy demand reduced by design before it is met by supply
- Solar generation matched to the facility's daytime load
Plant factories
Fully closed, artificially lit, stacked production. Climate becomes completely independent of the weather outside, at the cost of an energy bill.
- Multi-layer growing with tuned light recipes per crop
- Complete independence from season, weather, and land quality
- Highest yield per square metre and the highest energy intensity
- Best suited to short-cycle, high-value crops close to the consumer
