Small-Scale Indoor Hydroponic Setup for Commercial Experimentation
In 2020, we embarked on a transformative journey by partnering with a visionary client eager to delve into the commercial hydroponic farming business. Our objective was to design and implement a small indoor setup that would facilitate a comprehensive learning experience. This setup, equipped with 90 planters and advanced automated sensors, allowed the client to experiment with various plant species, understanding their growth patterns, and optimizing conditions for better yields. By integrating modern technologies, this project provided invaluable insights into the potential and scalability of hydroponic farming.
Our innovative approach ensured that the client could learn hands-on about hydroponic systems while minimizing manual labor through automation. This project not only emphasized practical learning but also demonstrated the efficiency and effectiveness of hydroponic farming in producing high-quality crops in a controlled environment. Through this initiative, we aimed to push the boundaries of what is possible in urban agriculture.
