MicroClimates
Before Gro iQ
-
Cultivation team suspected they had micro-climate issues, but no data to assess
With Gro iQ
-
Visualize Microclimates by Location, Duration & Height
-
Low-cost airflow modifications to remediate & track
-
Compare multiple rooms to discover unique microclimates in each room
-
Yield improvement 15%

DLI / Lighting
Understand what your cultivation facility can produce - prior to buildout
Before Gro iQ
-
New cultivation team took over operations with existing infrastructure (lights, HVAC, Dehu etc.)
-
Team thought they were hitting PPFD & DLI targets
With Gro iQ
-
Current lights ~20% below PPFD and DLI targets. Leverage light measurement + data to inform:
- Quantification of PPFD and DLI Gap
-
Gap in yield vs. target
-
Gap in revenue vs. target
-
Opportunity for supplemental or retrofit
-
Each single % point under target PPFD/DLI represents a 1% percent yield loss
-
Yield improvement 20%

"From a greenhouse perspective, we are using analytics to help steer the machine,” Staton says. “If we are trying to cut electricity costs for production, what time of year can we shut down half of our supplemental lighting, and how will that affect plant growth? With Gro iQ, we can run this type of evaluation on every aspect of the cultivation operation."
