Sollum Technologies Partners with Optimal to Advance AI Greenhouse Control

In a groundbreaking collaboration, Sollum Technologies has joined forces with Optimal, a frontrunner in AI greenhouse management. This strategic partnership aims to revolutionize crop cultivation by integrating Sollum’s dynamic LED lighting with Optimal’s advanced climate and irrigation control systems.

The blend of Sollum’s cutting-edge 100% dynamic LED lighting and Optimal's AI technologies is designed to empower growers to implement their specific cultivation strategies amid swiftly changing environmental conditions. The partnership promises to streamline how greenhouses are managed, paving the way for healthier plants and enhanced productivity.

Simplifying Growers’ Workflows

According to Dave Hunter, the CEO and Founder of Optimal, the AI-driven system significantly reduces the time growers spend on environmental adjustments. With their technology, growers can ensure ideal climate conditions with minimal manual intervention, often requiring just ten minutes a week for operations. The integration of Sollum's innovative LEDs enhances the adaptability of lighting, allowing real-time adjustments to maximize growth.

Optimal’s AI leverages data to anticipate the impacts of light conditions on plant growth, seamlessly adjusting climate and irrigation settings to maintain the ideal environment. This sophisticated approach allows growers to focus more on strategic decisions rather than constant monitoring and manual adjustments.

The Power of Dynamic Lighting

“Lighting serves as one of the most critical factors within a greenhouse setting,” Hunter emphasizes. “By collaborating with Sollum, our AI will have enhanced flexibility to manage lighting in accordance with real-time growth needs.” The integration provides a fully automated, 24/7 system that addresses all aspects of greenhouse operations, including climate, irrigation, and lighting.

François R.-Moisan, co-founder and CTO of Sollum Technologies, elaborates: “Our dynamic lighting solution was created to be adaptable. This partnership amplifies our responsiveness to the nuances of crop needs, fostering an environment that promotes optimal growth.”
