Transforming Indoor Horticulture Where Smart Power Meets Smart Growing The Project :
GreenSeal operates a state-of-the-art 30,000 square foot indoor cultivation facility in Stratford, Ontario, where they embarked on an ambitious facility optimization project. The initiative focused primarily on enhancing their lighting and electrical infrastructure to improve their cultivation environment. As a company known for its commitment to innovation and research, this project represented a significant step forward in their mission to redefine industry standards while maintaining their position as a leader in experimentation and quality cultivation.
The Challenge: The facility faced several critical operational challenges that needed addressing. At the core was their fundamental dependence on artificial lighting as a substitute for natural sunlight in their indoor cultivation process. The existing traditional electrical distribution systems presented significant safety concerns and lacked the adaptability required for precise environmental control. Additionally, the facility struggled with the limitations of their power infrastructure, which affected their ability to maintain precise lighting control throughout the cultivation process. These challenges were further compounded by high HVAC energy costs, which significantly impacted their operational efficiency and bottom line. The Solution: VoltServer addressed these challenges by implementing an FMP solution throughout the facility. This comprehensive solution delivered power through FMP cables, offering a safer and more efficient alternative to conventional systems. The strategic placement of transmitters outside cultivation rooms was a key component of the implementation strategy. To ensure successful adoption, VoltServer provided comprehensive staff training and integration support, along with a sophisticated software-controlled lighting management system that allowed for precise control over the growing environment. Key Outcomes: The implementation of FMP technology yielded measurable results across multiple aspects of GreenSeal's operations. The facility experienced a significant reduction in HVAC energy costs and operational expenses, while simultaneously enhancing safety through the improved electrical infrastructure.
