How we created a bespoke vertical farm solution - saving £180K over 4 years
The brief
Light Science Technologies was approached to work collaboratively with our client to develop a Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) tiered vertical farming as they had been unable to with other suppliers of standard products.
Our approach
From the outset, our technical team operated with a 'build from the ground up' approach. We carefully selected our preferred LED partner, validated the design and data, mapped out the LED spacing, and completed the complete electronic design before manufacture.
