Challenge

Vertical farming requires a highly controlled environment to maximize yield, reduce waste, and ensure operational efficiency. Traditional farming systems face challenges in scalability, reliability, and the ability to centrally manage multiple farm operations and IoT devices. Additionally, the need for seamless data flow, real-time monitoring, and efficient resource allocation further complicates the farming process.

Major Concerns

High operational costs

Significant Energy consumption due to artificial lighting and, fans for air circulation.

Real-Time environmental adaptation

Maintaining optimal temperature and humidity levels throughout the vertical structure requires constant monitoring and energy usage.

Nutrient management

Optimizing nutrient delivery systems, maintaining proper air circulation.

Plant health concerns

Encompass challenges such as pest infestations and disease outbreaks that can impact crop yield and quality, along with pollination issues that affect fruit and seed production.
