AGNETIX LIGHTING TECHNOLOGY TO JOIN CORNELL UNIVERSITY'S GLASE CONSORTIUM
Agnetix selected to join the Greenhouse Lighting and Systems Engineering (GLASE) Consortium
Agnetix has been selected to join the Greenhouse Lighting and Systems Engineering (GLASE) Consortium. Established in 2017 by Cornell University and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, the GLASE Consortium engages in research, education and the transfer of technology to industrial members and ultimately to the public so that consumers may enjoy the wide-ranging benefits.
Agnetix will join the ranks of the leading global innovators in the industrial controlled environment agriculture (CEA) industry.
"High efficiency data driven cultivation for the long game of humanity."
"It is an honor for us to be selected to join this prestigious group alongside Cornell University, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Rutgers University, and like-minded industry partners. All committed to pioneering and commercializing breakthrough greenhouse technology. High efficiency data driven cultivation for the long game of humanity," said Jordan Miles, CEO, Agnetix.
The Consortium is headed by Erico Mattos, Ph.D., Executive Director, GLASE. The mission is to develop advanced greenhouse lighting and control systems that are tailored to the needs of specific greenhouse and indoors cultivated crops. Their work extends to all areas of the CEA lighting environment, integrating advances in LED light engineering, carbon dioxide enrichment, and lighting control systems. The ultimate goal is to ensure the food that is grown indoors is done so in the most efficient way possible with the lowest carbon footprint.
"GLASE works with industry members, including controlled environment growers and manufacturers, to research, develop, and implement energy-efficient technology in greenhouses and indoor farms. We bring industry, research, and academia together to work toward more sustainable and profitable grow light systems," said Haley Rylander, Extension Support Specialist with GLASE.
Sanaz Jarolmasjed, PhD, Director of Biological and Vision Systems for Agnetix, added, "This is an exciting partnership on greenhouse lighting and control systems. What GLASE is working towards is well aligned with our objectives. We endeavor to bring integrated controls, environment sensing and plant monitoring all together to provide better decisions, better grows, and higher quality products."

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.
