Automating Yield and Energy Efficiency for a Horticulture Grower

Yield up, energy down — fully automated

SENSOR & LIGHTING AUTOMATION · CUSTOM BUILD

A horticulture technology grower had an algorithm that could increase yield and cut power consumption — but no way to apply it beyond manual changes to greenhouse lighting.

The Challenge

Only manual changes to greenhouse lighting were possible, with no light- sensor readings feeding back into the system. Manual updates weren’t scalable for wider industry adoption — and with growing consuming large amounts of power, reducing emissions is critical for sustainable operations.

What Enably Did

We built a custom application to receive data from light sensors and automate changes to the lighting system, coding the grower’s own yield-optimisation algorithm into the application alongside dynamic dashboards of lighting performance. The next phase extends the platform with agentic capabilities and new data sources.

The Outcome

  • Dynamic light adjustment for optimised plant growth
  • Efficient energy distribution balancing cost and performance
  • Extended illumination periods for enhanced productivity
