The present invention relates to a latticed modular structure for multi-layer planting and, more specifically, to a latticed modular structure for multi-layer planting, comprising: a wall-shaped wire frame in which a plurality of horizontal wires and vertical wires are arranged in a lattice structure; and a plurality of culture containers arranged in layers inside the wire frame, wherein the culture containers are filled with culture soil for plant cultivation or a culture solution for water culture, and thus the structure can be useful for wall greening, which can improve a living environment such as that of an urban space or houses, and for crop cultivation having high space utilization.

A system for the fertigation of a plant vessel and method of use for the same is disclosed. The system comprises a grow module containing a plurality of growing trays additionally containing plants, and/or shoots of plants in various stages of development. The growing trays are individually extracted from the grow module via a tray movement system and tray elevator controlled by a control system and precisely placed in a fertigation system, wherein they are aligned over and lowered onto an at least one nozzle which penetrate the plant vessels containing the plants and fertigate them with a combination of water, nutrients, and/or pressurized air. The individual growing tray is then replaced in the grow module and the process is repeated for all growing trays and plant vessels in the grow module.

A nursery rack that is used to ship plants is often necessary for growers and retailers to easily and quickly move large amounts of plants. The device will be equipped with a plurality of removable shelves that will rest on a plurality of hooks made for that purpose. The user can decide how many shelves and the distance between the shelves depending on the particular use that is anticipated. The device provides a means to lift the device using a forklift or palletjack.

A device to provide lighting and ventilation for horticultural applications. The invention relates to a device that combines lighting and ventilation into a single device that enables more efficient lighting and ventilation, and thereby greater control of the microclimate for high density indoor horticulture and controlled environment agriculture.

A logistics system includes a first high-bay rack, at least one further high-bay rack, and at least one robot arm with a plurality of links and joints connecting the links for relative adjustment. One of the links is a bottom link of the robot arm which forms a base. The first high-bay rack has a first robot arm carrier with a first coupling device which, in a state in which the robot arm is coupled to the first robot arm carrier, interacts with a counter-coupling device of the bottom link of the robot arm in such a way that, in a first configuration of the logistics system, the bottom link of the robot arm is connected to the first robot arm carrier in an automatically locked and automatically releasable manner. The further high-bay rack has a further robot arm carrier with a further coupling device which, in a state in which the robot arm is coupled to the further robot arm carrier, interacts with the counter-coupling device of the bottom link of the robot arm in such a way that, in a second configuration of the logistics system, which is different from the first configuration, the bottom link of the robot arm is connected to the further robot arm carrier in an automatically locked and automatically releasable manner.

A lighting system for a vertical garden includes at least one light ring including a central hub member configured to be removably mounted to the vertical garden, an outer ring member, and a plurality of spoke members extending radially between the central hub member and the outer ring member, a plurality of light sources supported in the outer ring member, and a drive circuit for the plurality of light sources, a power supply, and at least one power connector connected between the drive circuit and the power supply.

A vertical garden having an assemblage of parts that facilitates packaging and transportation in a disassembled state and/or one or more features that provide an enhanced leakproof design. The assemblage includes a base and planter modules that are stackable atop the base to form a vertical column of stacked modules for growing plants when in a fully-assembled state. The planter modules may be nestable within each other to form a compact bundle of nested modules that is smaller in size than the vertical column of stacked modules when in a disassembled state, thereby providing a kit that facilitates compact packaging of the vertical garden. An intermediate portion of the garden may have a divider that separates a drain path from the fill port of the device, thereby restricting leakage. A catch basin may be provided for capturing debris. A modular grow lighting system also may be provided.

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to apparatus for measuring various characteristics of an indoor agriculture system. In one embodiment, a plug holder weight measurement system includes a plant plug holder disposed in a grow tower and one or more load cells positioned and configured to detect a weight of a plug holder. The load cells may be compression-type, tension-type, torsion-type, or beam-type load cells and each may be integrated into the grow tower.

Horticulture automation systems, devices, and methods are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a horticulture automation system for indoor vertical farming can include a sensor input configured to receive sensor readings related to a horticulture environment, an internet of things (“IoT”) module operably coupled to the sensor input, power supply channels coupled to luminaire panels, and a power control unit that controls the transfer and distribution of the power from a power supply to the power supply channels. The IoT module can communicate the sensor readings to a database and receive instructions to manage the horticulture environment. The device can be attached to a vertical grow rack and/or near a grow deck.

A method of growing plants in a confined space makes use of containers for plants. The containers are stored using a system including a three-dimensional array of array elements, said three-dimensional array of array elements having a stack of two-dimensional arrays of array elements. Each two-dimensional array has a grid of tracks defining a first track for moving a container in an X-direction, and second tracks for moving the container in a Y-direction. Containers are moved using a shuttle. To improve the use of the space available for growing plants, the containers have to be moved from the first track to a second track efficiently. Thus, moving a container to the second track comprises lifting at least one of the containers and the shuttle by bringing moveable track sections from a relatively low position to a relatively high position, and moving the container to the second array element.
