Growing structure

What’s possible
  • Produce multiple crops simultaneously, row by row
  • Optimize growth and yield of any plant, year-round, in any location
  • Customize the length and height of each unit
  • Automate row cleaning
  • View sizing options
How we make it possible:
The technology behind the feature
  • Units designed to sustain a crop’s full weight in operating conditions with integrated irrigation and gas systems
  • Intelligent, automatic hydroponic tide irrigation system

Hypercontrolled · Automated · Energy-efficient · Customizable

Climate control

What’s possible
  • Remotely control and automate more than 25 unique parameters – from climate and airflow to heating, cooling, humidity fertilization and oxygenation
  • Adjust each parameter according to growing requirements, plant maturity or other specifications
  • Control fertilizer type, PH levels, and concentration for at least 4 different fertilizers; inject living organisms
  • Maintain the desired conditions all year long
How we make it possible:
The technology behind the feature
  • Global operating temperature can be set from 15°C to 25°C according to a day-and-night cycle
  • Global relative humidity can be set from 45% to 75%
  • Uniformly distributed injectors enable direct injection of CO2 and humidity (mist) according to the need of the specific plant at all times
  • Automatic control of CO2 injection for maintaining CO2 level (global) or to create a CO2 enriched period (local)
  • Automatic humidity (mist) injection to create enriched humidity period (local).
  • CO2 control: 400ppm (outside air) to 2000ppm
  • Humidity enrichment period: Up to 100%
  • CO2 expected consumption per hour: 1.6 L/m³ (0.045 L/ft³)
  • CO2 tank capacity allows autonomy for monthly operation

High-performance · Customizable · Energy-efficient

Lighting

What’s possible
  • Control the light mixture for each row or plant with customized, crop-specific spectra
  • Ensure the ideal spectra and exposure
  • Maximize flower and fruit production
  • Minimize energy usage Heat generated by the LED lights is used by the climate control, minimizing energy usage overall.
How we make it possible:
The technology behind the feature
  • Photosynthetically optimized water-cooled LED lighting device
  • Thermal protection
  • Proprietary technology known for its unparalleled agronomical performance
  • Rigorously tested by multiple industry experts
  • Light spectrum: Deep-Red, Infra-Red, Blue, White and UV

High-performance ·Customizable

Automatic irrigation and fertilization

What’s possible
  • Manage various plants at various growth stages, individually, row by row
  • Control living organisms through continuous purification of the irrigation solution
  • Reduce water consumption by more than 95%
How we make it possible:
The technology behind the feature
  • Intelligent automatic hydroponic tide Irrigation system
  • Irrigation solution is continuously purified with particle and UV filters, controlling organisms
  • Automatic control of fertilization: PH level, fertilizer type and concentration (at least 4 different fertilizers), injection of living organisms and oxygenation
  • Water is recycled through the irrigation process to optimize its usage

Direct irrigation injector

What’s possible
  • Inject living organisms
  • Control injection quality and sequence from the main interface
How we make it possible:
The technology behind the feature
  • Direct liquid injector installed on the main irrigation line
  • WARNING: Agronomic and biological validation should be done prior to any living organism injection to avoid destabilization of the HRVST ecosystem and potential damage to the crop

Airflow control

What’s possible
  • Control the airflow at crop level for each row
  • Set airflow to be managed automatically to facilitate creation of enriched periods of CO2 or humidity
How we make it possible:
The technology behind the feature
  • Set airflow for day and night or for growth to flower between 0 to 0.5 m/s (20 in/s) on normal or burst mode

Automated lifting platform

Automated lifting platform
