IUNU debuts closed-loop AI climate control system

Ahead of the 2023 GreenTech Amsterdam show, IUNU announced the launch of Intelligent Setpoint Control for LUNA AI.

Intelligent Setpoint Control for LUNA AI, IUNU says, “puts the plant in the driver’s seat. By pairing climate data with comprehensive plant performance data using computer vision, LUNA AI provides growers with ideal crop strategies and executes the selected strategy autonomously.” The company says it is the only closed-looped AI system for autonomous climate control in horticulture. Using computer vision, the crop strategies take into account how a crop is performing real-time and makes adjustments to focus on driving the desired outcome.

“We’re thrilled to launch Intelligent Setpoint Control for LUNA AI. It’s a product we’ve been working on for a long time and drives meaningful value for greenhouse operators. Climate control is a critical function of operating a profitable greenhouse and autonomous control gives operators the most leverage for scaling profitable operations,” said Yoeri van der Laan, Program Manager for the product at IUNU.

“To date, automating climate control has only been possible using minimal, manually collected data and climate data. Now, with Intelligent Setpoint Control, that’s changed. We use real data, comprehensively and autonomously collected, and pair that with testing done on real plants and in digital simulations. This is the most sophisticated AI product on the market,” said Ramón Melón, Head Grower at IUNU.

“BrightFarms focuses on partnering with top technology providers like IUNU to achieve

best-in-class efficiency, consistency and returns from our greenhouses. By using IUNU’s LUNA AI technology, we are able to more effectively monitor our growing inputs and drive insights that improve how growers manage our crops. As our partnership continues, we are excited by the prospect of leveraging LUNA AI to close the crop/climate feedback loop and enable autonomous climate control,” said Matt Lingard, SVP of Agriculture and Science at BrightFarms.

With Intelligent Setpoint Control for LUNA AI, growers can focus on optimizing profitability daily. The product simulates crop strategies based on your crop plan and yield targets, creates crop strategies based on best simulated outcomes, executes a three-day forward crop strategy, and autonomously controls climate setpoints.

Growers can learn more about Intelligent Setpoint Control for LUNA AI and IUNU’s full product suite at GreenTech this week by visiting IUNU at Booth 1.341.
