Indoor Farm &
Greenhouse Automation
We build the whole system for indoor agriculture — the controller in every room, the sensors and I/O around it, and the software your team watches it with: GCU Manager on site or GCU Cloud online. One integrator, one system, one throat to choke.
Growing Is Hard. Systems Shouldn't Make It Harder.
Most indoor farms cobble together equipment from multiple vendors — different controllers, different software, nothing talks to anything else. Operators spend more time managing systems than growing crops.
- ✗ Siloed systems that don't communicate
- ✗ Manual monitoring across multiple screens
- ✗ No historical data for crop optimization
- ✗ Alarm fatigue from disconnected alerts
- ✗ Vendor finger-pointing when things break
Unified Control, Single Source of Truth
We design and deploy integrated automation systems where everything works together — climate, lighting, CO2, irrigation and monitoring — all visible and controllable from one interface.
- ✓ One dashboard for entire operation
- ✓ Automated sequences and recipes
- ✓ Historical trending and analytics
- ✓ Smart alerting with context
- ✓ One integrator who owns the outcome
GCU Manager and GCU Cloud
A Greenhouse Control Unit runs each room on its own. Then choose how your team watches over it: on a server at your facility, or from anywhere in the cloud. Same grow programs, same alerts, same records.
GCU Manager
A server at your facility. Your data never leaves the building.
- Every room on one screen, with or without internet
- Grow programs, harvest records, daily AI-read photos and integrated irrigation
- Proven on a 76-room cultivation facility
- Integrator API for the software you already use
GCU Cloud
Nothing to install. Sign in from a phone, tablet or computer.
- Plain-language status and 24-hour trends for every room
- Control equipment, schedules, rules and HVAC, confirmed by the GCU
- Email alerts, daily insights and nightly AI Insights
- Hosted, secured, backed up and updated by us

Everything Your Grow Needs, Working Together
🌡️ Climate Control
Temperature, humidity, CO2 and VPD held in range by sensor rules with deadbands. Day and night targets, mini-split HVAC driven directly by the GCU, dehumidification and CO2 enrichment.
💡 Lighting Control
0-10 V dimming of LED fixtures with gradual sunrise and sunset ramps. Photoperiod and light level follow the grow program stage by stage.
💧 Irrigation
Timed runs on valves and pumps with a guard on how long any output may stay on. Watering records from your irrigation controller shown against the room's climate.
📊 Environmental Monitoring
Wired RS-485 Modbus sensors for CO2, temperature, humidity, light and leaf wetness. Primary and backup sensors side by side, with health shown on every reading.
⚡ Equipment Control
Fans, pumps, valves and dehumidifiers switched through our DIN-rail I/O module, with safe states if the bus goes quiet and run-time guards on every output.
📱 Dashboards & Alerts
GCU Manager or GCU Cloud: every room on one screen, email alerts that start and clear, role-based access and an activity log. An API for the software you already use.
A Second Look at Every Room, Every Night
AI review is part of both GCU Manager and GCU Cloud today. It reads the day's data for each room and reports what it finds, with the evidence behind every point. It suggests; it never changes a setting.
🔍 Nightly Room Review
Equipment working harder than last week, CO2 vented by an exhaust schedule, rooms drifting apart, a sensor that stopped changing. Findings are checked against your data before you see them.
📷 Photo Analysis
Each day's crop photo compared with earlier ones and with the room's conditions. Growers give a thumbs up or down and the review learns what matters to them.
💬 Help Assistant
Ask what a reading means or how a feature works, right from the page. Your data is never used to train models, and the review can be switched off for your site.
Purpose-Built for How You Grow
🌿 Indoor Vertical Farms
Multi-tier rack automation with room-level control. LED dimming, airflow management and wired sensors on every level.
🏠 Greenhouses
Ventilation, cooling, dehumidification and supplemental lighting on sensor rules, with weather alongside the room data.
🌱 Pods, Containers & Clone Rooms
Tight day and night targets for sensitive starts and self-contained pods. One GCU per room, mini-split HVAC driven directly.
From Napkin Sketch to Harvest
1. Discovery
Understand your crops, workflows, existing equipment, and operational goals. Define success metrics.
2. Design
Architecture, equipment selection, control sequences, and dashboard wireframes. Review and iterate with your team.
3. Build & Deploy
Hardware installation, software development, system integration, and commissioning. Training for your operators.
4. Grow & Improve
Ongoing support, recipe tuning, data analysis, and system optimization based on crop performance.
We've Been in the Rooms We Automate
This isn't theoretical for us. We've built systems for licensed cannabis facilities, research greenhouses, and commercial produce operations. We understand the stakes — crop loss isn't just an inconvenience, it's your livelihood.
Operational Empathy
We design for growers, not just engineers. Interfaces that make sense at 2am when something's wrong.
Full-Stack Capability
From wiring panels to writing code — we own the entire solution, not just a piece of it.
Long-Term Partnership
We're here for the seasons ahead, not just the installation. Your success is our success.
