Smarter workflows through conveyor systems - move the product not the workers!

In existing vertical farms, harvesting and farming is done by
accessing the different layers of the farms with a scissor lift.
Going up, harvesting, going down, left, up again,
harvesting…. And so on.
A very time consuming work.
We conceived of a simpler and more modern technique in our
farms. We initially separate the growing area from the working
area to produce "white" and "grey" zones. A clean room
separate from the workers is used for the growth sector, which
allows for better security. The plants are simply carried toward
a harvesting station - the grey zone - where they can be
pulled up and down with a rope, harvested, cleaned, and
replanted for future growth. It's straightforward.
1. Fogponics
ultrasonic, efficient and water saving - fogponics allows new farms to operate on levels never seen before
4. Smarter Material choices - Textiles!
By employing fog as an irrigation method we can avoid many problems of usual farming system - Mainly we don't need to carry a lot of heavy loads any more and can benefit from the possibility to employ lighter structures and concepts
12. GMP - Cleanroom Growing
Through proper cleanroom growing conditions, plants can become a vital source to replace current medical production systems and even open up completely new pathways
13. Internet of Things
Internet of Things (IoT) connects our farms digitally and enables remote supervision, control and data logging
14. Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence (AI) enables our farms to learn from experience, making them capable of performing tasks that could even surpass human intelligence.
