CAN: Greenscale adopts Sollum Technologies dynamic LED lighting

Greenscale is partnering with Sollum Technologies to implement advanced dynamic LED lighting in its next-generation greenhouse production facility. The collaboration integrates Sollum's SF-ONE™ lighting fixtures, powered by the SUN as a Service® cloud platform, into Greenscale's highly controlled growing system, ensuring optimal crop conditions with minimal environmental impact.

Greenscale specializes in optimizing plant growing conditions with the objective of creating a zero-pesticide, zero-industrial-fertilizer growing system that is highly controlled, traceable, and designed to produce nutritionally enhanced vegetables and vegetable-derivative products. With Sollum's dynamic lighting technology, Greenscale takes a data-driven approach to maximize crop quality, yield, and sustainability.

Advanced AI-driven lighting for precision agriculture
Greenscale selected Sollum's dynamic LED lighting solution to provide customized light recipes tailored to each stage of lettuce growth. Thanks to real-time data monitoring and adaptive spectral control, Sollum's lighting system increases plant productivity while reducing energy consumption compared to traditional lighting solutions.

"At Greenscale, we are focused on technology and operations to create differentiated products," said Scott Meikle, CEO of Greenscale. "Sollum's dynamic LED lighting is a critical component of our controlled growing system, allowing us to fine-tune environmental conditions with precision. This ensures that our crops receive the optimal light spectrum at every stage, improving both quality and nutritional value."

Sollum's AI-powered SUN as a Service platform continuously adjusts lighting conditions in response to plant needs and environmental factors, providing several benefits for Greenscale. By delivering the right light at the right time, the platform optimizes growth conditions, ensuring that plants receive the optimal amount of light they require. This approach not only enhances plant growth but also promotes sustainability by using only the necessary energy, thereby reducing waste and conserving resources. Additionally, the platform improves production efficiency by offering better control over crop development, resource utilization, and environmental impact, ultimately leading to more effective and sustainable agricultural practices.

"Greenscale is at the forefront of agricultural innovation, and we are proud to collaborate with them to push the boundaries of what's possible in controlled environment agriculture (CEA)," said Matthew Bonavita, Vice President of US Sales at Sollum Technologies. "Their commitment to using technology to drive sustainability and food quality aligns perfectly with our mission of providing the most advanced and adaptable LED lighting solution on the market."
