General information

Short Summary
UnstopFarm is an advanced indoor vertical farming system integrating AI, IoT, and automation for high-efficiency, sustainable cultivation. With an existing infrastructure, Turkish SME seeks research companies to collaborate on enhancing precision agriculture, automation, and resource-efficient farming.
Full Description
Unstopfarm is a highly efficient and remotely controlled agricultural technology system created to be used in the changing and increasingly difficult plant growing processes in the world. The system allows customers to save space and time by working in a closed area and at maximum efficiency. It can be scaled the system, which has a modular structure, according to the product group and number of products the customers want. In this system, crops, microgreens and leafy plants can be grown. Users can either grow the plants automatically with a single button according to the settings determined by the academicians, or they can grow the plants with their own settings. In the system, the settings can be saved and the plant growing process can be performed manually or automatically.

The UnstopFarm system is composed of six key components:

✔ Tiered Shelf System – Maximizing space utilization
✔ Advanced Lighting System – Optimized for plant growth
✔ Precision Irrigation System – Ensuring water efficiency
✔ Climate Control System – Maintaining ideal growing conditions
✔ Automated Transport System – Enhancing operational efficiency
✔ Smart Control Panel – Remote monitoring and management

By integrating hardware and software into a single platform, UnstopFarm simplifies controlled agriculture, making it more efficient, scalable, and sustainable.
