South Korea: Developing next-generation robotic vertical farming systems

Rowain is a company that addresses global challenges—such as the climate crisis and the shrinking agricultural population—through technological innovation. Grounded in the philosophy of letting robots excel at what they do best, while making human tasks more comfortable, the company was founded by CEO Kyeongha Lee in October 2022.

The flagship product of Rowain is Intelli-Farm, a robotic vertical farming system. The most significant differentiator between Intelli-Farm and traditional vertical farms is the separation of the cultivation area from the workspace.

"Rowain evolved by applying the logistics robot systems used in warehouses like Amazon and Coupang to vertical farming", explained CEO Lee. "In the cultivation area, mobile modular cultivation towers are arranged where crops are grown in multiple tiers. In the workspace, Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) automatically transport these towers, and stacker robots safely extract the beds and deliver them to the workstations."

To optimize Intelli-Farm, Rowain internally developed every component, including AMRs, stacker robots, mobile modular towers, IoT systems, nutrient solution systems, and AI-based integrated control software for both the growing environment and robot management.
