The collaboration between Profarms and C-LED continues

The Context

Profarms is a company specialising in the cultivation of microgreens with an innovative and sustainable approach. Its indoor cultivation system makes it possible to produce high-quality microgreens all year round, regardless of the weather conditions, thereby reducing water consumption and eliminating the use of pesticides. The adoption of biodegradable substrates and the optimisation of natural resources guarantee an efficient and environmentally friendly production.

"One of the aspects that makes Profarms stand out," explain managers Ulrich Kager and Patrick Sanin, "is the integration of our in-house software and hardware, which guarantee a highly automated and efficient cultivation system. The Profarms software is designed to monitor and optimise environmental parameters in real time and to manage the entire microgreens production process."

The hardware includes growth racks with C-LED lighting, automatic irrigation systems, environmental sensors, sprouting cells, and other machinery designed to efficiently manage the production of high-quality microgreens. This system is designed to be scalable and easily integrated into facilities of various sizes, and it optimises growing conditions while improving operational efficiency.
