GROW-RI specializes in greenhouse and indoor farm automation systems and our clients are the nearly 42,000 USDA registered indoor farms, many of which are small businesses like ours. Indoor farming is on the rise as it allows for production closer to the consumer and reduces transportation and distribution costs. Touted as more sanitary, indoor farms require less hands touch the produce before it reaches the grocers shelves. Many ventures have made the news because of the high tech nature of this emerging industry. The indoor or vertical farm is a technological powerhouse of sophisticated ultra efficient lighting systems, computer controllers, solar arrays and storage systems, micro irrigation, environmental controls, robotics and analytical equipment; all to ensure optimized and consistent growing conditions. These state of the art facilities have demonstrable processes for reducing waste, electricity usage, heating, and cooling costs. Water consumption and other factors are also optimized using automation systems. However installing and operating computer control systems can cost millions and requires skilled specialists for maintenance. For those who can afford it, these systems provide a significant competitive advantage.

But what about the majority of American farmers, the small businesses, who do not have access to millions in capital and the engineering know-how to install and operate these systems? GROW-RI was created with these small business indoor farmers in mind. With a rapid evolution in technology transforming the traditional greenhouse into near cleanroom-style, semi-automated, ultra efficient facilities, GROW-RI will help you grow more product, track and ensure quality, and reduce waste; all while tracking and trending data in real time. GROW-RI technology is designed to enable the same level of control and automation enjoyed by big high tech agribusiness.

GROW-RI provides Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems. Our technology allows for programmable precise & reproducible growing practices for consistent quality and yield, increased efficiency and better sanitation. We offer three product lines including the GENESIS Satellite, GENESIS mini, and GENESIS insight, with many more tools and systems currently in our development pipeline. Our cybersecure systems provide connectivity and control over any digital or analog component, module, device, or sensor and through the internet of things (IoTs) delivering real time information securely to you anywhere including your smartphone or tablet.
