Project scope
What is the main goal for this project?

Number of positions available: One or more teams with one or more students

We have created a "Grow Unit" that is used in Indoor Vertical Farming.

Our Grow Unit consists of several subsystems:

- the mechanical part made from several stainless steel components,

- Lighting subsystem - mounted LEDs

- IoT - Arduino - manages all the other subsystems, and reads sensor data

- Air management system - air flow, CO2

- Water subsystem

- Nutrient subsystem - adds nutrients to the water system

We currently want to do an overall on the design and prepare it for manufacturing.

With the exception of the stainless steel, we prefer to purchase off the shelf components and do our own assembly.

We are looking for a team of students to make it all happen.
