Advantages

The vertical farm system reduces crop growth time significantly; for example, lettuce can be harvested in just 20 days compared to the traditional farm system 30–50 days.
One operator can manage multiple units, lowering labor costs, and the system is designed for future robotic upgrades, enabling fully automated farming.
Each grow tray’s production status is accurately tracked, ensuring optimal growing conditions and improved productivity.
The vertical farm automatically adjusts environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and nutrients based on crop type and growth cycle, ensuring consistent and high-quality yields.
A fully controlled and sterilized environment eliminates pests and diseases, removing the need for chemical pesticides.
It is easy to operate and quick to learn, making it more convenient than traditional farming.
With a single switch, the system supports both hydroponic and soil-based cultivation, allowing the growth of various vegetables and medicinal plants.
Organic fertilizers and select seeds that comply with international import/export regulations are available to support cultivation needs.
Customization options are available beyond standard models, allowing for tailored farms in different sizes, and distribution partnerships are welcomed.
The advanced ventilation system ensures root-level airflow for both hydroponic and soil-based cultivation, preventing root rot and promoting healthier plant growth.

The Features of our vertical farming systemAutomation and RoboticIntegrated with artificial intelligence and robotics, the farming system offers a high degree of automation and includes a engaged robotic operation platform, laying the groundwork for fully autonomous farming.Vertical Moving System The seven-layer vertical moving planting design maximizes space utilization, enabling high-density cultivation.

Stepper motors with closed-loop control (equipped with encoders) ensure accurate positioning of each grow tray. Paired with close-range cameras, the system allows real-time observation of individual plant growth.

The grow trays circulate to provide uniform lighting and optimal ventilation, with improved root exposure to light and airflow compared to traditional farming.

Multiple Growing Methods Supports various cultivation methods, including substrate-based growing (using soybean meal fertilizer), hydroponics, and aeroponics to meet diverse planting needs. Modular Installation The modular design allows for fast and efficient assembly, ensuring quick preparation and scalability. Liquid Organic Fertilizer Production Customized liquid organic fertilizers can be formulated in different concentrations based on plant requirements, optimizing nutrient delivery. High Efficiency and Increased Productivity For example, with lettuce cultivation:
Each grow tray holds three rows, accommodating 75 plants.
The growth cycle is 20 days, yielding 15,000 plants per batch.
With 15 production cycles annually, the system can produce a total of 22,500 lettuce plants, weighing approximately 56,250 kg.
This output can supply fresh vegetables for 102 people year-round, assuming a daily consumption of 1.5 kg per person.

Main Components

Designed with a modular assembly structure for easy installation and scalability.
The flooring is made of insulated panels, ensuring optimal temperature regulation and energy efficiency.
The system features seven planting layers, maximizing vertical space for high-density cultivation.
Constructed with high-transparency, high-strength, and anti-fog single or double membrane materials, which are selected based on regional conditions to ensure durability and optimal light penetration.

Temperature and Humidity Control System: It is equipped with four 3-horsepower heating and dehumidifying air conditioners. These are strategically installed at both ends in a staggered layout. This ensures precise temperature and humidity control.
Cooling Mist Humidification System: It is used for foliar fertilizer application, general humidification, or aeroponic cultivation to maintain optimal plant moisture levels.
Fresh Air System: A combined fresh air system disinfects incoming air and promotes internal air circulation, ensuring a clean and healthy growing environment.
CO₂ Generator: Strategically positioned on both sides of the top section, the CO₂ generator reliably releases carbon dioxide to enhance photosynthesis. It includes a CO₂ concentration display and an alarm system for monitoring and safety.
Supplementary Lighting System: It is installed between the ascending and descending chains of the vertical farm, with individual control for each layer. The lighting system adjusts according to plant needs to optimize growth.
Shading System: It is equipped with a reflective thermal insulation cotton shading system that helps regulate temperature within the farm while preventing excessive light exposure.

The vertical farm is equipped with two integrated water and fertilizer systems—one dedicated to irrigation water supply and the other for preparing and applying liquid fertilizer. The control system allows seamless switching between the two as needed.
Nutrient Solution Formulation: Customizable nutrient solutions are tailored to meet the specific requirements of plants at different growth stages, ensuring optimal development and yield.
Three Irrigation Methods: The system supports multiple watering techniques, including: sub-irrigation, sprinkler irrigation and injection irrigation.

Sensors: Equipped with 12 four-in-one sensors that monitor temperature, humidity, light intensity, and CO₂ concentration to ensure optimal growing conditions. Additionally, the water and fertilizer system includes a pH detection device to maintain nutrient balance.
Cameras: The system features both a surveillance camera for general monitoring and a close-range camera for detailed observation of plant growth conditions.
Control System: Powered by AI algorithms (currently optimized for hydroponic lettuce), the system offers multiple control options, including:
Automated control using data models for precise growth management.

Local control for on-site adjustments.

Remote monitoring via an app for real-time oversight from anywhere.

A single control unit can simultaneously manage up to 50 vertical farms, ensuring scalability and efficient operation.

6-axis robotic arm: Provides flexible and precise movement for planting and harvesting tasks.
4.5-meter digital slide rail: Enables the robotic arm to move across multiple grow trays for efficient operation over a wide area.
Vision recognition and positioning: Utilizes advanced image processing technology to identify and accurately position plants for automated tasks.
Two-finger gripper: Designed for gentle handling of plants to prevent damage during planting, harvesting, or maintenance.

Seedlings are first grown externally in a plant growth chamber before being transplanted into the vertical farm system for further cultivation.
