Vertical farm

The Fully-Automated Vertical Farm (FAVF) is a form of facility agriculture that achieves unmanned, year-round continuous production throughout the entire process of "seeding, seedling cultivation, planting, growth, harvesting, and packaging" within multi-story buildings in cities or suburbs, through vertical cultivation, artificial/mixed light, environmental closed-loop control, robots, and AI algorithms.



strategic significance

Land: The land utilization rate is increased by 6-15 times;

Water usage: closed-loop water and fertilizer management, achieving a 90% water saving;

Labor: Manpower savings of 80-95%;

Market availability: Leafy vegetables are available on the market within 15-25 days, which is 50% shorter than in the open field;

Carbon emissions: Carbon footprint of 0.2-0.4 kg CO₂e/kg product, which is only 1/5-1/10 of traditional agriculture.



Vertical cultivation system

Structure: aluminum alloy frame + food-grade ABS tray;

DFT deep flow: liquid depth of 10-20 cm, floating plate with a capacity of 25-60 plants/m²;

Modularity: 1.2 m×2.4 m pallets are plug-and-play and can be stacked in 4-20 layers.



LED artificial light system

Spectrum: Seedling stage B: R=1:2, Growth stage B: R:FR=3:6:1;

PPFD: 150-400 μmol/m²·s, photoperiod 12-18 h, dimming step size 5%;

Energy consumption: 0.6-0.9 kWh/kg leafy vegetables (2025 chip efficiency 3.2 μmol/J).



Environmental closed-loop control

Temperature: Leafy vegetables at 18-23℃, fruit vegetables at 23-28℃, with an accuracy of ±0.2℃;

Humidity: 60-85%, accuracy ±3%RH;

CO₂: 800-1200 ppm, accuracy ±30 ppm;

Airflow: laminar flow at 0.1-0.3 m/s, fan with EC DC brushless motor.



The fully automated vertical farm, with "three-dimensional space × artificial light × robotics × digital twins" as its core, has achieved a commercial closed loop that produces the highest quality agricultural products with the lowest resource consumption, regardless of location or season.
