Strategic Partners
We are proud to partner with the following organizations to create the best possible indoor growing experience for your controlled environment agriculture (CEA) spaces.
AgricUltra Advancements™
AgricUltra Advancements™ core focus is maximizing facility production of indoor farms, while minimizing energy inputs. Our Plant First™ approach to improving indoor crop production begins with understanding the specific requirements of each plant. We design our precision components with full consideration of the plant’s biological needs to match energy consumption with optimum plant requirements in real time to maximize quality and efficiencies. We exploit synergies in energy management to minimize operational expenditures such as using the same photomorphogenic light signaling to improve taste, texture, potency, and shelf life to reduce the need for chemical pathogen and pest intervention.
Our Plant First™ approach to problem-solving and expertise in computational fluid dynamic modeling (CFD) made it clear that existing methods of vertical farming drastically underestimate the importance of airflow – Optimized air management is fundamental to the success of vertical farming at scale. AgricUltra Advancements™ has dedicated over half a decade to solving airflow management issues in commercial grow facilities which resulted in the development of the AMPL Platform.
Coupled with our new AMPL Smart Cradle’s ability of Real-Time biometric feedback that can provide hourly updates on:
- biomass accumulation
- nutrient/fertigation uptake rates
- verification of canopy setpoint limits
- vision based morphology updates
- vision based detection of pests and pathogens
The AMPL Smart Cradle introduces the ability to perform interventions that in the past required teams of skilled operators such as topping, thinning pruning and spot chemical sprays
AgricUltra’s AMPL platform is taking CEA and indoor Ag to unimagined precision and introducing Farming as a Factory.
