Full Automation From Planning To Control For Indoor Farms Is Here

Montreal, Canada | August 10, 2017

Two leading agtech companies have joined forces to offer award-winning automation software and hardware to indoor farms.

For the first time ever, growers will be able to use technology to automate processes that have previously been decided based on incomplete data.

Motorleaf, based in Montreal, is the market leader in IoT, plug-and-play sensor, and controls hardware and software for hydroponic and greenhouse automation.

Agrilyst, based in Brooklyn, is the market leader in farm management and automation
software for indoor farms. It is now possible to connect Motorleaf devices to Agrilyst’s platform. Growers can visualize all of their climate and nutrient information real-time and alongside
their crop yield data.


“The customer is the most important piece of the puzzle, and facilitating easy
access to critical information in an intuitive and plug-and-play environment are
two of the things that both Agrilyst and Motorleaf customers already experience.
Now for the first time they can do this with both companies working together on
their behalf. Welcome to the new way agtech should work for all customers,”
says Ally Monk, Motorleaf Co-Founder and CEO.


“We believe the open exchange of data between systems is critical for farm
success and have always been committed to helping farmers access and utilize
their data in better ways. We’re excited to work with Motorleaf, who is quickly
becoming a key player in advanced indoor controls technology. Connecting to
top-of-the line devices will help our customers get the best insights into their
operations possible,” says Allison Kopf, Agrilyst Founder and CEO.


For a limited time, growers who sign up for an annual commercial farm
subscription with Agrilyst will receive two free hardware units from Motorleaf worth over $1400 USD.
