Signify
Signify manufactures electric lights and light fixtures for domestic consumers and professionals and the Internet of Things (IoT). Signify is currently present in over 70 countries worldwide, with an employee count of 39,000 globally.
Signify has its own research center, GrowWise Center, in Eindhoven (Netherlands), where research is conducted on new lighting technologies. There, scientists continuously focus on improving crop taste, health, texture, and quality. By controlling the parameters needed to grow the plants, such as light, humidity, and irrigation, the company helps customers get the most out of crops while saving space, energy, and water. Therefore, GrowWise Center is engaged in developing the perfect blueprint for city farming production. Signify offers a wide range of lighting products and systems for vertical farming technology for growing plants in indoor environments without sunlight. LEDs used to light multiple layers of crops assist in maximizing production and getting a higher yield. The company also holds lighting and plant expertise aiding vertical farmers in efficiently using Philips LEDs and growth techniques. It further introduced a system to control the growth of crops. Moreover, the GrowWise control system provides full flexibility and control over lightning to improve crop quality, productivity, and operational efficiency. It allows to create and run custom light recipes on dimmable and color controllable modules, which help in optimizing the yield.
AeroFarms
