Ensuring you get your growing project RIGHT

EnesysGrow

Developments in agriculture and Controlled Environment Agriculture are taking place at lightning speed and new and innovative companies are flooding the market, which is great for the future of integrating technology into horticulture BUT this also creates a lot of confusion. Growers and investors need to make major technical and financial decisions but there is no independent system approach, so making choices for growers and investors, who often lack sufficient knowledge to make well-founded choices in terms on installation, technical and financial aspects is extremely difficult and confusing. This is where Enesys can help.
As an investor, there is a myriad of new technologies and options for greenhouses and vertical farms.
How do you decide what is best for your project? What technologies are worth investing in? Does your facility require artificial light? If so, which one? There are thousands of these products on the market. What kind of energy source is the most feasible? Are there options to reduce your energy costs and become more sustainable? What are the best possible crops you could plant and when? What is their expected yield? Growers/ Investors will have a better prediction of what will happen if they choose one strategy over another and they can also see the ROI for each scenario.
Growers and Investors can become more proactive with the support of EnesysGrow. EnesysGrow is a powerful growth, energy and resources computer modelling suite that demonstrates options to increase the profitability of all forms of horticulture.
EnesysGrow is powered by detailed and growing databases that define growth and economic parameters of specific and generic plant varieties, and proprietary equipment, including specific model, numbered and generic PAR lighting system performance and costs.
 The powerful core of EnesysGrow is:
1. Plant Database -an extensive and expanding database of plant physiology parameters that feed carbon assimilation algorithms that predict vegetable growth for a comprehensive range of plant varieties. 2. Light Database -An extensive expanding database of grow lighting performance parameters including spectrum, intensity, efficacy and controllability of generic and specific proprietary grow lighting systems. EnesysGrow predicts the growth and profitability of crops every hour, accumulating over days and months as the sun, temperature, energy tariffs, consumables, labour and sales revenue can dramatically vary throughout the year.
Enesys works directly with clients or via our network of authorised horticultural consultants to model options directly suited to your needs. Get in touch today for an estimate on accessing an EnesysGrow Project Model for your next venture.

Engineering, Design, Construction and Complete Project Management for High Tech Sustainable Greenhouses, Vertical and Urban farms

GrowSys

Enesys can design, construct and project manage fullscale automated environmentally-controlled high-density Vertical Farms, Urban Farms or traditional protected Cropping Facilities. Enesys has designed a world-class growing facility that includes multiple Grow Modules and a Harvest Module. Each Grow Module has 10 vertically stacked growing floors and the entire system including nutrient management can be controlled by CubeLink. The Enesys team can design a high tech growing facility to suit your requirements and save you on energy costs when they are incorporated with Enesys waste to energy growing model. When this is incorporated the growing facility could, in fact, produce more energy than it needs whilst potentially multiplying the productivity of any protected cropping facility by a factor of 8- 14 fold depending on the crop variety.
GrowSys TM by Enesys is a highly automated Vertical Farming System that is composed of a Transfer Module TM and a selectable quantity of Grow Modules GM. The TM loads seeded or seedling pots into any selected location within a GM and harvest product from any selected location within any GM. The TM can also be used to transfer partly grown crops from any GM to more widely spaced carriers in any GM.
 Each GM is hydroponically linked and can contain between one and fifteen growing levels with variable head heights, and handle pot spacings between 50mm and 200mm. The entire system is automated to perform feed, transfer or harvest of individual pot carriers, whole levels or whole GM’s.

Variable Spectrum Intensity and Frequency Growlights

VSIF

Variable Spectrum Intensity and Frequency Growlight (VSIF) saves growers on energy costs.
VSIF GrowLights can continuously vary PAR spectrum and intensity to optimise plant growth for any crop variety during any stage of its growth.VSIF GrowLighs and control systems based on CubeLink are unique in the horticultural lighting industry and are vastly more energy-efficient due to the spectral flexibility and turndown ratios than can match any plant photosynthetic physiology at all stages of growth cycles
VSIG Growlights enhances plant growth and production and minimises energy by excluding PAR wavelengths that the plant can’t physically use at that stage of its life. VSIF Lighting can also produce continuously variable PAR pulse frequency and pulse peak energy for crops that respond favourably to pulsed light (from dappled light, seconds to fractions of milliseconds).
VSIF was originally developed for the Algae industry where Enesys designed, constructed and supported every successful large-scale Algae farm and processing plant in Australia. High intensity (10 times LED rated PAR output) with microsecond pulsing (equivalent PAR energy, equivalent heat) was used to increase photon penetration through dense algal solutions.By automatically varying PAR spectrum, intensity and frequency to the grower's recipe, VSIG Growlights can:
  • Minmise energy by producing the only photosynthetically used photon wavelengths.
  • Continuously vary PAR energy to the growers precisely match the crops.
  • Maximise crop growth at various phases of plant maturity - seedling, juvenile, mature, flowering, fruiting.
  • Maximise economic/ logistic benefits by accelerating, delaying or holding plant growth phases.
  • Can be physically coupled close to crops, especially for vertical farms,

Fully Integrated Alternative Energy Solutions

Waste to Energy to Growing (WEG)

Controlled Environment Agriculture Needs an Energy Solution
Protected Cropping and Controlled Environment Agriculture is less damaging to the natural environment than broadacre farming, but conventional greenhouses are consuming more and increasingly expensive energy in order to meet market demands in any season or climateWith increasing urbanisation of the growing industry, high-density vertical farms don't benefit from sunlight and consume enormous amounts of energy for PAR lighting and cooling. Without a sustainable energy solution, vertical farms will be economically limited to only the most valuable crops and consume damaging fossil fuels.

Fully Integrated Affordable IoT Capable Automation and Control

CubeLink

CubeLink was developed to provide ultra- low- cost control systems platform for all industry sectors and especially processes that are distributed over large geographic areas ( e.g. agriculture, algae, etc). GrowLink integrates high tech, flexible, IoT capable control in CubeLink to holistically manage all greenhouse technologies and waste to energy options to fuel all greenhouse requirements. Energy can also be stored and redirected for alternate use.
Traditional control systems have large costs, hefty licensing fees and technical limitations in the devices that communicate and control electrical, mechanical, thermal and monitoring equipment. Their inputs ( process information) and outputs ( process control) have mostly not been 'intelligent' nor holistic in systems health outcomes.This often means projects with tight budgets are restricted in the automation available to them. There is a need for a system that offers higher productivity and quality, lower capital and operating costs, reduced technical complexity and higher reliability.

Pre Programmed and Customisable Crop Recipe Selection

Simple to use smart systems supporting the core growing environment
 Powerful RecipesEnesys can continually modify the entire growing environment and fertigation to satisfy a growing recipe for any crop at any stage of growth. Growers can use the inbuilt pull-down recipes or create their own. Based on a simple crop recipe selection, we can monitor and control every aspect of the growing environment, and this frees the grower to focus on their core business, not the growing systems.
