Growing sufficient high quality food for a growing
population is becoming a challenge with natural
resources and trained people becoming scarce.
Major Challenge Here is what we aim to improve (KPIs)
Water usage
GrowWise Monitoring – high-level system
architecture of an IoT sensing, data, and
control platform.
GrowWise Manager – shift to making the
sensing part of the platform more robust and
food-safe and deploy and test it in a test
environment (commercial scale city farm at
Staay Fresh Care).

Target Groups & Providers
Automatically creates the best settings to grow plants
according to specifications based on growth recipes
that are monitored by sensors and improved by data
and control.

Pen & Paper-based reporting
Currently the achieved yield and
performance is tracked manually.
Digital sensor based tracking
Sensors (such VIS/IR cameras, in-line scales,
nutrient composition) track growth and
measure yield increase.
Target User – Mid/Large size farms
(5000 – 100000 m2 of growing space)
This increases uniformity and control for
the operators of the farm
Grower analyses crops
Currently a grower has to check for
crop deficiencies and adjust
settings manually
Often too late to correct failures
If there are failures in the farm, or
people ill, there is a lot of downtime
and crops are wasted before
harvest.
Network of sensors to track and steer
growth
Review the crop growth by means of sensors
and software analysis
Direct response to changes in growth
From training based on historical (trial) data, a
machine learning algorithm can suggest
improved growth parameters (f.e. fertigation) if
needed

Risk of non delivery
With weather changes, crops might
be lost due to rain or storm. There
will be no supply.
Always in season
Never out of product, as everything is
controlled and automated.
Target User – Food Processor
(supplying to retail / food service)
Controlled production that is always in
season will make planning and quality
control much more efficient.
Quality issues and foreign
bodies
Bugs, sand, soil may be on the
product and could be in the
package after processing.
Shelf life issues
Often, conditions during transport
(e.g. temperature) are non-optimal,
resulting in reduced shelf life and
increased waste
Nothing comes in, so guaranteed clean
With overpressure and correct hygiene
protocols, no contaminants can enter the
climate cell. The product will always be clean.
Extended shelf life
Based on customer specs, different
growth recipes can be developed and
optimized (through algorithms) to
extend shelf life.
