The complete operating stack for commercial CEA.
Grownetics helps commercial operators measure the room more accurately, control it more precisely, and improve it more systematically. From CropVision monitoring to Unity controls, facility design, and operational support, the system is built to reduce hidden variability and improve real yield outcomes with maximum efficiency and reliability.
The 5 foundational problems
every CEA operation needs to solve.
These are not isolated issues, and they are not one simple chain. They are connected constraints that shape how well a facility can measure, control, execute, improve, and scale.
Most facilities do not struggle with one problem at a time. They struggle with a set of connected operational constraints: measurement, control precision, knowledge distribution, turnaround time, and data correlation. Improve one, and the others become easier to solve. Ignore one, and the rest get harder.
The Measurement Gap
You can't control what you can't measure. Other platforms give you one averaged reading for a zone. Grownetics shows the variation inside the room: microclimates, root zones, and the real effect of your cultivation systems on the plants themselves.
That's 80% of your environmental variability, and the yield loss that comes with it.
The Control Precision Gap
With incomplete visibility and reactive control, plants experience inconsistency. That inconsistency creates stress and increases disease, pathogen, and pest risk. Predictive systems not only reduce wasted equipment cycling and energy use by 20–30%, they run environments that are far more consistent and precise than conventional thermostat-based controls, leading to optimal yield and quality outcomes.
Reactive controls waste 20–30% more energy than predictive. Every month.
The Knowledge Bottleneck
Cultivation systems only run as well as the people operating them. When knowledge lives inside a few experts instead of inside the system, execution becomes inconsistent, staff cannot be fully empowered, and managers lose visibility into the quality of the work, not just whether tasks were completed.
Reliable operations distribute knowledge, validate execution, and make performance visible across the whole team.
The Turnaround Time Problem
Without consistency, there is no predictability. And without predictability, teams are stuck catching up, reacting, and putting out fires. Only after measurement, control, and operational knowledge are stable can a facility shorten delays, accelerate harvest cycles, and improve throughput with confidence.
Shorter cycle times are not a tactic. They are the result of a more predictable system.
The Data Correlation Gap
Most facilities collect data, but they do not give it enough context to learn from it. When environmental conditions, interventions, time zones, batch records, and harvest outcomes are not connected, teams cannot build a real biography for each crop or understand what actually drove yield and quality.
The facilities that correlate conditions to outcomes learn faster than the ones that just collect more data.
The 5 Foundational Problems in CEA
Cost impact, root cause, and what changes when each one is solved. No demo required.
Start with the part of the system you need first.
Grownetics is a coordinated stack for commercial CEA. Monitoring, controls, facility design, and operational support can work independently or together, depending on what your facility needs most right now.
If you need better visibility, start with CropVision. If you need better control, start with Unity. If you are building or retrofitting, start with Foundation. If you need help improving the operation, start with Optima Consulting.
CropVision

High-resolution environmental monitoring, 3D microclimate mapping, and Total Crop Steering™ analytics for operators who need better visibility first.
Unity
Control.
Predictive climate, CO₂, and lighting automation for facilities that need more precise control, better consistency, and less wasted cycling.
Foundation

For more than a decade, Grownetics has helped design, build, support, and optimize high-performance CEA environments by focusing on the real constraints that determine whether a facility succeeds: visibility, control, facility design, and operational performance.
"Great equipment and software for CEA. Grownetics helped us build custom solutions for a more efficient work environment. Great team."

"We designed our R&D facility to be at the leading edge of efficiency, technology and innovation. What we were trying to do would never have been possible without the Grownetics sensing and automation platform to tie it all together."
"Their advice and depth of knowledge in CEA is really top notch. Their recommended upgrades have been spot on and budget friendly. We'll be implementing Grownetics' systems for all our new sites."

We start with the constraint. Then build the right path forward.
Grownetics is not here to force every facility into the same package. Some operators need better visibility. Some need better control. Some are building, retrofitting, or trying to improve performance without replacing everything they already own.
That is why every engagement starts with an honest look at the facility, the system, and the biggest constraint holding performance back. Then we define the most practical next step.
Talk to us →We assess the room, the system, and the operational constraints that are limiting performance. The goal is not to force a product. It is to identify the right starting point.
If the biggest gap is visibility, we start with CropVision. If it is control, we start with Unity. If the issue is upstream in design or operations, we start there instead.
We deploy the right layer of the stack and integrate it into the facility as it exists today. The objective is practical improvement, not unnecessary rip-and-replace.
Once the right systems are in place, the operation becomes easier to measure, diagnose, and improve. Better visibility and better control create better decisions over time.
