The Challenge
Our client operated 15 high-tech greenhouse units spanning 50 acres, growing premium vegetables and flowers using hydroponic systems. Manual climate control was labor-intensive and inconsistent, leading to suboptimal growing conditions, energy waste, and crop stress. They needed an automated system to maintain precise environmental conditions, optimize nutrient delivery, and reduce operational costs while maximizing yield and crop quality in their controlled environment agriculture operation.
Our Solution
We developed a comprehensive greenhouse automation system that integrates climate control, hydroponic management, and energy optimization to create the ideal growing environment while minimizing resource consumption.
