PlantLab to partner with Illumitex

PlantLab, a privately owned Dutch company that specializes in controlled environment agriculture, has selected Illumitex as the exclusive supplier of advanced LED technology for its new 66,000-square-foot research and development center.

 

The research and development center officially opens in September.

 

PlantLab employs PPU’s (Plant Production Units) based on technology and proprietary algorithms to optimize the production of different crops. PlantLab’s patented technology is applicable in many fields such as: breeding, pharmaceutics, ingredients, cosmetics, flavorings and fragrances, specialty foods, flowers, potted plants, vegetables and fruits. By utilizing PPU’s and proprietary mathematical models, state-of-the-art LED systems, air control advances and maximum water control solutions, PlantLab’s innovations remove the typical variables that hinder crop growth and delivery. This means it is now possible to accurately control crop yields, growing times, nutritional content and other factors such as taste and appearance.

 

Illumitex Inc., a vertically integrated maker of innovative horticulture LED lighting solutions, will exclusively supply its new research LED light fixture, Quantum, for PlantLab’s new R&D center.
