SAN DIEGO, Nov. 30, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- JARS Cannabis has selected Smart Horticulture Lighting technology leader, Agnetix, for a new high-tech vertical farming project in Phoenix, Arizona. Purpose built for Agnetix lighting, this new state-of-the-art facility will feature over 2000 liquid-cooled PHENOM luminaires in a high energy density double-tiered configuration.
JARS Director of Cultivation, Ian Haselmire, spoke about why they were drawn to Agnetix: "JARS began this project with a simple goal: build a highly effective vertical cannabis farm. Vertical growing introduces additional design and operational challenges over single-tiered facilities. We selected the new water-cooled Agnetix PHENOM LEDs for their ability to displace heat before it accumulates inside our tiered benches, maintaining a consistent environment without stagnation and microclimates. The dense array of sensors built into the PHENOM platform further enables us to confirm the effectiveness of our HVAC and supporting equipment, highlighting areas of concern for immediate improvement."
Dr. Ihor Lys, Agnetix co-founder and CTO, explained: "The Agnetix HMI provides a unique three dimensional view of these sensors, clearly showing the conditions, plants and process in real time. JARS found this capability quite compelling. The PHENOM platform provides unparalleled insight for crop steering, facility management and operational improvement."
Ian continued: "In the short term, this capability speeds commissioning. Every facility goes through a break-in period, and the faster you can identify areas for improvement the faster you drive the projects' return on investment."
