niolabs Partners with UC Davis to Advance Precision Agriculture
Pioneering edge computing software company and world-renowned agriculture college collaborate to deliver globally scalable technology innovation.
niolabs, a leading edge computing software company, is pleased to announce that it is entering into a progressive partnership with the UC Davis College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences. The design of this partnership combines niolabs' patented technology with the globally eminent UC Davis agriculture and environmental domain knowledge.
The partnership intends to immediately implement the nio Platform at the Oakville Experiment Station in Napa Valley, California. The director and UC Davis' partnership lead, Professor Kaan Kurtural Ph.D. offers, "We anticipate accelerating our research and creating market-ready sustainable farming solutions that lower cost and improve yield and quality that are scaleable. Our expertise in viticulture will be aided by edge-computing and machine learning to marry plant physiology and sensor technology. Imagine it as a Lego building set in which the grower is able to add or remove components to a smart vineyard or orchard plantation system."
"The agriculture industry as a whole acknowledges the global challenges of feeding more people and lowering the impact on precious environmental resources. Combining our technology with a world-leading college makes addressing sustainable agriculture far less daunting of a challenge. We're honored to partner with UC Davis." - Doug Standley, CEO niolabs
The partnership intends to extend its efforts to the global agriculture academic, farming, and technology community while also building an inclusive solution ecosystem collaboration and sponsorship operating model.

Featured Product
Advanced Mid-Power and High-Power LEDs for Horticulture Lighting
Cree LED's J Series® family offers a comprehensive portfolio of mid-power and high-power LEDs engineered specifically for horticulture lighting. The lineup includes high-efficacy 2835, 3030 and 5050 platforms designed to maximize photon output, energy efficiency, and long-term reliability in demanding grow environments. Photophyll™ Select options in the JB3030C and 2835 platforms deliver industry-leading efficiency with excellent sulfur resistance and footprint compatibility with 301B/H devices - making design-in seamless for horticulture luminaires. The 2835 N-Class color portfolio adds even greater flexibility with 15 high-efficacy spectral options that support precise spectrum tuning. For high-power applications, the JR5050C provides the industry's highest efficacy in its class and can reduce system costs by up to 40%. The JR5050B complements this with best-in-class efficacy in both 6V and 30V configurations. The J Series portfolio also features top-performing white LEDs. The JB3030C delivers up to 3.33 PPF/W (typical), while the JB2835B offers the highest efficacy available in a 2835 white platform. Together, these solutions give horticulture lighting manufacturers exceptional efficiency, broad spectral versatility and unmatched design flexibility.
