IUNU's new autonomous climate control tech

IUNU kicked off its presence at GreenTech Amsterdam this week with the launch of Intelligent Setpoint Control for LUNA AI, which “puts the plant in the driver’s seat.” By pairing climate data with comprehensive plant performance data using computer vision, LUNA AI provides growers with ideal crop strategies and executes the selected strategy autonomously.

According to IUNU, Intelligent Setpoint Control for LUNA AI is the only closed-loop AI system for autonomous climate control in horticulture. Using computer vision, the crop strategies take into account how a crop is performing real-time and make adjustments to focus on driving the desired outcome.

“We’re thrilled to launch Intelligent Setpoint Control for LUNA AI. It’s a product we’ve been working on for a long time and drives meaningful value for greenhouse operators,” says Yoeri van der Laan, Program Manager for the product at IUNU. “Climate control is a critical function of operating a profitable greenhouse, and autonomous control gives operators the most leverage for scaling profitable operations.”

“To date, automating climate control has only been possible using minimal, manually collected data and climate data. Now, with Intelligent Setpoint Control, that’s changed. We use real data, comprehensively and autonomously collected, and pair that with testing done on real plants and in digital simulations,” says Ramón Melón, Head Grower at IUNU.
