Technology

Grönovation’s vertical farming technology produces plants indoors in vertical growing modules, using highly efficient LED lights and with full control over the growing conditions.

Having full control over the environmental variables, such as humidity, temperature, nutrition,  light spectrum etc. can help accelerate plant growth, increase yield, tailor the quality of harvest to suit the customer needs. The flexibility of location has added benefit of greatly shortening the food supply chain and reduce crop waste as well as logistics costs.

Unlike other stacked vertical farms, every aspect of Grönovation’s growing equipment is designed for high space use efficiency, size modularity and full automation. The growing system is modular in height being able to utilize buildings of varying ceiling height and floor size. These design features facilitate sustainable production with controllable quality and higher economic returns.

Grönovation’s fully automatic plant growth system greatly reduces labour requirements. The overall automation solution includes automatic seeding equipment, automatic transplanting equipment, automatic harvesting system, closed loop automatic irrigation system and disease detection system.

The use of artificial intelligence in combination with real time control of growing parameters gives large flexibility in terms of plants that can be cultivated and the growth characteristics of the plants.

 

The Grönovation growing system with its modularity and scalable installation lends itself well to turn-key installations. Grönovation can provide tailor-made solutions for different herbal products and different application needs.

Grönovation’s automation solutions includes multiple novel features that ensure smooth plant operation.

Grönovation integrates data analysis with crop science in order to make informed decisions that mediate optimal plant growth.

Our precision growing system gives the ability to adjust light spectrum and intensity, adjust nutrient solution composition during different growth stages, nutrient flow rates, air flow and harvesting strategies. CO₂ fertilization can be arranged if local sources are available. In addition, disease tracking via image analysis greatly reduces the risk of plant disease outbreak. The growth parameters are continuously monitored and adjusted during the growth of the plants which ensures high yield and achieving the desired qualities of the plant in terms of nutritious properties, secondary metabolites and taste.
