Green Automation Group designs, develops, manufactures, and markets fully automated hydroponic growing systems for commercial hydroponic leafy greens production. Their systems are highly efficient and sustainable, enabling growers to achieve high plant density and harvest more plants from same area. The growing systems are designed for commercial hydroponic lettuce and herb production in greenhouse or indoor operations of 1 acre and above. These systems are highly automated, ensuring the entire growing cycle can be completed without human intervention. The Green Automation systems utilize NFT as the chosen hydroponic system, combined with their proprietary gutter and fertigation system, providing plants with water, oxygen, and nutrients in precise amounts.
Space and energy efficiencies are result of always giving plant just the right space it needs. In beginning of growing the seedlings are closely together in multiple levels. In this phase not that much space or light is needed, however temperature needs to be well under control making it ideal case for indoor growing. While plant grows it becomes more tolerant to warm temperatures, but on the other hand it also requires more space and light to grow so number of growing levels are reduced while space for each plant is increased also in two other dimensions to achieve optimal and cost-effective growth.
Green Automation has designed germination towers that maximize the early-stage productivity of its fully automated growing system. Towers create a perfect environment and more space for germinating while using less resources such as electricity for cooling. This also increases yields and introduces more flexibility to the growing process. After sowing, the gutters with seeds are transferred via conveyor belts and a series of lifts directly to the germination towers. After germination, the plants are automatically moved and placed on the growing line for their subsequent journey via greenhouse to harvesting.
