Project background
Growers operating multiple hydroponic sites lacked a unified software layer to manage recipes, schedules, and device fleets across facilities. Existing tools were fragmented, hardware-locked, and offered little visibility into historical performance.
Challenge
Supporting heterogeneous devices from different vendors, handling bursts of sensor data from thousands of endpoints, and presenting complex grow data in an interface usable by non-technical farm staff. Multi-tenant security and offline-tolerant device agents were non-negotiable.
Approach & solution
We built AgriOS as a cloud-native platform with a device-agnostic ingestion layer, role-based multi-tenant access, and a recipe engine that lets growers codify grow profiles as reusable templates. Real-time telemetry streams power dashboards and alerting, while a REST and MQTT API allows third-party hardware integration. The architecture separates control-plane and data-plane concerns for horizontal scalability.
Results & benefits
The platform now manages fleets of devices across several pilot farms, with grow recipes reused across sites to accelerate replication. Operators reported significant reductions in manual data entry and faster onboarding for new staff thanks to the recipe-driven workflow.
