Space is critical to successful vertical farming operations. In many areas, traditional warehouses are excellent facilities for grow operations. The issue is wasted vertical space in these facilities, as they feature high ceilings and unutilized vertical "cube". A number of potential solutions are available for these operations to help you maximize space and produce product at a lower cost without compromising quality. These include:
Traditional industrial shelving can be used in vertical operations. These systems are typically tended to from ground level and manually attended. They reduce your nursery footprint by stacking multiple levels of plants in a compact space. Typically lights are installed on or around the shelves. This method may mean that you nurture smaller plants (in the cloning phase or vegetative cycle) before they flower and grow too tall for tighter shelf spaces. For other operations, taller vertical shelf spacing can be used to build a storage system that allows all phases of growth. This choice depends on your facility and process.
These systems eliminate aisles for very high-density operations, but still allow easy access to your crop.
To reduce your cost of operation without impacting quality means fully utilizing space before expanding or purchasing new facilities. Let us help you find exactly the right blend of solutions before you consider other alternatives to maximum space utilization.
