VERA TECHNOLOGY

Optimized plant density along the crop cycle enables over 40% plants per growing area and up to 100x bigger yield than in horizontal cultivation.

Water, nutritions and CO2 are fed constantly and precisely to the plants. Saved water: up to 95% vs traditional systems.

Vera improves the look and taste of salads, allowing them to grow until harvesting time at the same speed. Compatible with organic, non-organic and pesticide-free production. Full traceability.

Growth speed increases up to 30–40% with our unique patent-pending LED lighting distributed for plants from above and below.

Our systems are designed for the best performance for the investment. Estimated OPEX+CAPEX savings 30–50% vs competition.

Closed cultivation process doesn’t pollute soil or waters. You can cut climate emissions to zero with 100% renewable energy.

Absolute control over air humidity heat energy circulation and cooling leads up to 60% energy savings.

Seamlessly integrated and automated IoT-based system needs little maintenance. You save time and worries. We support you with 100% care.

In Vera, there are over 40% more plants in the growing area and even 8 times more in the floor area than in similar open field or traditional greenhouse cultivation. In Vera we use FIFO, ie. first in, first out flow through growing. In Vera the crop density is optimized and changed along the crop cycle.

Vera has a servo operated gutter movement system, which is already commonly used in traditonal greenhouses. The structure is made of high strength aluminium body, and the design is flexible and modular. The system can be built with easy instructions and factory assembled construction modules. Long lasting materials ensure longer lifecycle.

The automation of Vera serves as the core of managing the whole farming system. The system is reliable and firewall protected. All detective sensors feed the information of the operation, and automation manages the functions between the pre-set values. The smart IoT-based automation system has a very intuitive user interface (Vera OS) with an easy-to-use touch screen. The system collects data, which can be analyzed and used to create your own growing recipes.

Vera has a unique, patent pending LED lighting system, which produces optimal light for plants from above and below. The amount and distribution of light is always designed according to the needs of specific plants.

The modern processing of Vera includes, for example, seeding, transplanting and harvesting of the plants.

Vera can be combined to heat recovery systems. Integrated lighting, LED cooling and recovered heat together form a highly energy efficient system. Automation steers the climate and keeps the growing environment always optimal. Special optical design enables an even distribution of light to the plants. Vera makes the controlling of microclimate easy.

The irrigation system includes all water and fertilizer handling equipment as well as fully automated steering. In Vera we use NFT, ie. Nutrient Film Technique as a growing system. This technique is a developed version of the traditional hydroponic cultivation. Modular design enables diversity of plants in the same growing facility and also plant specific recipes. Nutrients and CO2 are fed constantly to the system, but not led back into the nature.
