FROM KNOW-HOW TO GROW-HOW

A COMBINATION OF FACTORY ENGINEERING AND INDOOR PLANT BIOLOGY

“Urban Crop Solutions” offers end-to-end solutions for Indoor Vertical Farming. It all starts with the crop: your crop and the needs of your market. Based on 5 years of research and real-life trials in our own research center, we help you select the right plant varieties with the right growth recipe for the requirements of your crop.

We design, manufacture, and install automated Plant Factories that can scale to the needs of your business. We help you in your journey to yield and support your first harvest. With us, you’ll be able to grow any crop under LED light anywhere on the planet, year-round

WHY A PLANT FACTORY?

A TOTAL SOLUTIONS PROVIDER

FOR YOUR SUCCESS (ROI), THERE ARE FOUR MAIN DRIVERS

Our factory engineers understand that it all starts with your customer’s crop specifications. Based on our Indoor Plant biology ‘Grow-How’, our team of experts has developed dedicated LED lighting, flexible fertigation, a dedicated climate system, and remote access control software.

WHAT IS THE BEST SOLUTION FOR YOU?

FARMFLEX ‘FLEXIBLE’ CONTAINER FARM

The FarmFLEX features a growing surface up to 55 m2 (592 sq.ft), and offers larger flexibility in crop mix, as the center corridor allows immediate access to all plants. The container farm works with an ebb & flow irrigation system on growing benches and is fully equipped in stainless steel. This traditional design, an early standard in the industry, requires a commercial grower to walk into the Farm for planting & harvesting and is less productive than the FarmPRO or the ModuleX. It is best suited for research or small commercial operations. The base price is 155.000 EUR for a 5-layer system or 3.690 EUR/harvest m2 (approx. 343 EUR/sq.ft)

FARMLAB ‘RESEARCH’ CONTAINER FARM

The FarmLAB is engineered based on the FarmFLEX, with upgrades for flexible LED lighting plans and extra software controls. All of this can be tailored to a specific crop and/or growth phase. Our customers have used the FarmLAB successfully for the research of wheat, banana plant propagation, flowers, hemp, and many others. The base price is 155.000 EUR for a 5-layer system or 3.690 EUR/harvest m² (343 EUR/sq. ft.)

MODULEX PLANTFACTORY

The ModuleX can be configured between 2 to 64 Grow Modules, so your PlantFactory is scalable with the growth of your business. One GrowModule features 86 m² (926 sqft) of growing surface, yielding about 6.140 kg/year (13.530 lbs/year) of fresh vegetables. Each separate module allows for an independent climate and nutrient system, allowing your mix of crops to be adaptable to your customers’ needs.

The base price is an industry-low CAPEX of 1.950 EUR/m² per growing surface (approx. 181 EUR/sq.ft). The labour costs are reduced by the automated crop-to-person ‘BenchCarousel’. This is the most efficient solution to maximize your return on investment.

LARGE SCALE PLANTFACTORY

A PlantFactory is custom engineered and constructed within an existing or new stand-alone building. A fully automated solution, with a growing surface larger than 5000 m² (53.800 sq.ft). Economies of scale allow for extensive automation and labor cost savings in crop handling and processing. Suitable for production of leafy greens, herbs, microgreens, and medicinal plants. Base price starts at 2.750 EUR/harvest m2 (255 EUR/sq. ft). This can increase depending on the level of automation required for handling and crop processing after harvest.

We offer you research and “Grow-How” in our 10 controlled environment growth chambers, 1 FarmPro and 1 ModuleX for crop cultivar screening, nutrient formulations, plant cultivation techniques, LED light spectrum research, hydroponic irrigation and substrate development. The ‘Grow-How’ of our scientists with 30+ years of experience, enables us to serve customers with the support of 200+ recipes.

R&D Equipment

We can mimic any climate on earth within our labs. To validate yields and improve plant growth recipes in our factories, we also operate a full-scale FarmPro container farm, and a ModuleX Grow Module.

Our main activities are crop variety screening, enhancing nutrient formulations and perfecting plant cultivation techniques. We have developed our own LED light technology, and continue our experiments to enhance plant response to LED light spectrum and intensity.

We think inside the box

We don’t believe in standard solutions. Why? Every single climate creates different issues. That is why we reconfigure all our systems to match your products’ requirements and your business operations.

We carefully select the components you need to achieve the most effective configuration for your situation. We have the highest precision when it comes to controlling all environmental variables : temperature, humidity, airflow, LED light, air flow, irrigation and nutrient formulation.
