In the Philips GrowWise Research Center by Signify, we explored how artificial lighting, hydroponics and precise climate control come together to optimize the growth of raspberries year-round.
5 AgTech Trends to Watch in 2024
In 2023 the agricultural industry faced challenges from extreme weather to supply chain issues. To address these issues and meet the goal of feeding a growing population, researchers and engineering teams developed smart AgTech tools, improving efficiency and yields.
ELIMINATING THE NEED FOR SUBSTRATES - ENABLING CLEAN, SIMPLE AND RESILIENT GROWING
From the very beginning, GyroCup has been reusable. This reduces input costs of replacing substrates and output costs of waste disposal. We found that growers usually mark substrates down as operational expenditure.
New Insights and Data-driven Controls Come Together in Priva Connext
"Buying an LED installation is one thing; learning how to use it is another". After a long run-up, pot lily and pot chrysanthemum producer Van Schie started using two different LED installations in 2022 and 2023.
More cucumbers and lower energy consumption thanks to Signify's full LED at Qcumber Optimize Nature VOF

A small percentage of far-red light guarantees a good plant development. At full power, the system delivers 78 µmol/m2/sec (+41%) more than the old installation, while consuming 20% less energy.
Horticultural Energy Efficiency
The average lighting rebate outside of horticulture is typically in the $10,000 to $20,000 range, while the average horticulture rebate is more than $150,000-with some exceeding $1 million.
Benefits of Stackable Hydroponic Containers for Urban Farmers
In this article, we'll examine how stackable container farms can provide space-efficient commercial-level hydroponic production anywhere with a stable power and water hookup.
WORLD'S LARGEST VERTICAL FARM COMPLETES
Located in Norfolk, the 25,000 sq m state-of-the-art climate-controlled facility utilises an energy-efficient, LED-based lighting system to produce high-quality crops on just four acres of land - yielding 250 times more leafy greens than conventional farming.
Horticulture LEDs and Photophyll™ Select LED
Cree LED is the first LED supplier to fully characterize products in horticulture metrics, such as PPF and Red PPF %, instead of lighting metrics, such as CCT and CRI.
Neboda Farms Adopts Skytree Direct Air Capture Unit for More Sustainable Carbon Dioxide Production

The new facility has an arch of 14.40 meters to maximize the use of space and spread as many seed trays as possible. In 12,000 meters, up to 5 million seedlings can be spread.
'WANNA GREENS®' MAKES HISTORY AS FIRST DUCKWEED PLANT LAUNCHED INTO SPACE ABOARD SpaceX CRS-29
Wanna Greens® is the world's smallest green vegetable and contains more iron than spinach, more zinc than kale, and more potassium than any green vegetable - all integral to promoting cellular strength, preventing illness and disease, and enhancing longevity.
Integrating Renewable Energy in Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA)
The energy demands of indoor farming can be substantial, leading to increased greenhouse gas emissions and environmental strain. Enter renewable energy - a game-changing approach to powering CEA systems while reducing their carbon footprint.

X-Rail: reliability and resistance to environmental impurities
Rollon's X-Rail linear rails are a reliable solution in environments susceptible to impurities. Equipped with rolling elements with shaped and flat raceways, they are available in several versions: galvanized, nitrided or stainless-steel sheet metal. The latter version ensures total corrosion resistance, which is critical for hostile environments such as those found in vertical farming.
Particularly innovative is the T + U configuration of the X-Rail linear rails, which can compensate for the parallelism errors of mounting surfaces. This simplifies installation and reduces costs.
