Light Science Technologies secures trials for sensorGROW potentially worth £940k
Light Science Technologies (LST), has announced that it has signed trial contracts for its recently launched sensorGROW. If successful, these trials have the potential to roll into subscriptions and be worth up to £940,000 in recurring revenues over a three-year period. LST is also in talks regarding a series of other trials.
LST has already established a strong footprint within the CEA market and its latest product, sensorGROW, offers technology, data collection, advisory and maintenance services for clients, on a three-year contracted basis.
Launched in June 2022, sensorGROW is an all-in-one growing intelligence tool aimed at giving indoor farmers better environmental control, with benefits including reductions in water usage, nutrients, fertilisers and energy while increasing yields, producing healthier crops and reducing waste. It also saves money by allowing growers to spot trends with big data via interactive dashboards.
Simon Deacon, CEO and founder of Light Science Technologies, said: "I am pleased to see confirmation of several sensorGROW trial contracts and expect more to be forthcoming. This demonstrates how growers see the importance of combining intelligence and increasing productivity to maximise yields within their indoor growing environments in a time when energy efficiency is crucial."
Valued at US$1.5 billion in 2022, the European indoor farming sensor market is expected to reach US$2.3 billion by 2028, growing at a 7.6% CAGR over the forecast period.

Particularly small and cost-effective: Market launch of the uEye XLS cameras
Image processing opens up a wide range of possibilities for the automation of modern agriculture - but what to do when only a small budget is available? That is where the uEye XLS comes in. With the launch of these super-small industrial cameras, even price-sensitive applications and volume projects become feasible. Measuring just 29 x 29 x 7 mm, the compact cameras offer excellent imaging characteristics without excessive heat generation, making them a perfect fit for embedded vision applications in agricultural machinery and equipment. The industrial cameras comply with the vision standard and are available with Micro-B connectors and with or without C/CS or S-mount lens holders, further increasing their adaptability to different agricultural environments. Thanks to these features, the cameras offered by IDS Imaging Development Systems lower the barriers to entry and make it easier to explore the potential of vision technology to optimize agricultural processes.
