Technology offer
Automated Exotic Mushroom farms
Turn-key indoor farms that run with minimal manual labour, lower energy use and consistent quality, harvest after harvest. Built on two patents and continuously improved through our control software.
Automation with ABB
Industrial robots handle the assembly line, so people can focus on quality.
Patented process
One patented, automated loop
10 automated steps in 4 phases, from substrate to shelf. Trolleys return and the cycle restarts.
- 1 Prepare
- 2 Grow
- 3 Harvest
- 4 Reset
Advantages
Reduced labour cost
Robots and automated flows take over the heavy, repetitive work from people.
Reduced energy consumption
Energy recovery and optimised climate control, designed by energy management experts.
Reduced waste
Reusable trays and trolleys replace single-use plastic bags, cycle after cycle.
Local
Local forest residues become substrate, and the farm sits close to the market it serves.
