There are a lot of different things that have been used to automate the growing process for cannabis from marijuana seedbank to cultivation facilities. For instance, artificial intelligence is becoming more common in cultivation facilities. Some of these technologies are already available, so why wouldn't a marijuana cultivation facility have it. Digital technology is the way to go.

GrowLife

The company is currently in Colorado conducting a proof of concept for its GrowLife digital technology for cannabis growing. The new system uses over 25 sensors to monitor growing conditions, automatically adjusting the controls to optimize the plant's growth. It has applied for a patent on this technology and has begun proof-of-concept trials. The company claims to have saved 76 per cent on energy costs. The company's founder, Andrew Hegyi, is eager to bring the technology to the market.

According to an investor presentation, PHOT is positioned to benefit from the build-out in Washington, Colorado, and Canada. As a result, the company's sales and marketing efforts will grow. The company has also widened its product line and diversified its business into other markets, including Canada and the U.S. Cannabis Industry Association. In addition, GrowLife has been able to secure funding on an "as-needed" basis. The company has recently hired personnel to expand its business and further define its channel strategy.

Soleil Technologies

In the past, the only way to understand the growth of cannabis plants was to rely on the eye of a grower Especially the growing of OG Fush Strain which is popular nowadays. Now, Soleil Technologies has used digital technology to help growers understand their plants and to avoid cannabis nutrient burn on their crops. The company is partnering with urban gro, Inc., an agriculture technology firm, to show off their Soleil Environmental Control systems powered by TGC. These systems are the newest additions to Soleil's Sense + Control technology line, which is currently the most advanced growing system available today.

Soleil uses high-density, sense-and-control technologies. These devices help cultivators understand their plant's condition at a granular level. For example, Scott Campbell's technology replaces a whiteboard with a task list. It can help growers automate the process, increasing consistency and cutting costs. The company's software also allows growers to monitor soil moisture and other key environmental metrics.

Growlink TDR substrate sensor

A TDR soil moisture sensor has been launched by Growlink, a company that specializes in environmental control systems. TDR sensors measure moisture and water content in soil. Soil moisture is a crucial determinant of crop yield and quality. Too little moisture can kill a plant, while too much moisture encourages fungus and wastes valuable resources. In the cannabis industry, exact control of the soil's moisture level leads to robust plants and higher yields. Regardless of your level of experience, you can benefit from a Growlink TDR sensor.

A Growlink TDR sensor is also capable of detecting changes in pH and EC levels. By combining these two measurements, the Growlink controller allows growers to track environmental conditions, pinpoint the root zone of each plant, and respond accordingly. A grower can even get real-time alerts when pH or EC levels are out of control. The centralized data enables monitoring and controlling processes that can help growers increase yields and quality.

Growlink 360 dashboard

The latest trend in the growing cannabis industry is input-based control. This method has been used in greenhouses for years, but has only recently made a comeback as a way to control environmental sensors. Data-driven input-based tools will make adjustments based on the data they collect. A Growlink 360 dashboard shows how digital technology was used in growing cannabis. Despite its complexity, advanced control systems can help cannabis growers cut their energy costs by up to 76 per cent.

In the cannabis industry, machine learning and sensor technology are helping growers automate processes, including temperature control and humidity levels. These two factors can impact plant growth, and AI helps growers make the most of this information. With the use of artificial intelligence in growing cannabis, the system will help growers avoid problems associated with manual labor and increase production. It will also track the progress of harvested cannabis products.

Soleil Sense and Control products

While growing cannabis in the past required a lot of human involvement, it became easier thanks to digital technology. In the future, growers may not need to monitor the entire growing process at all. They can let the computer take control and monitor their growing conditions from a remote location. Advanced control systems are used mostly by large marijuana companies, so home growers often overlook this potential. But now, it may not be that far off.

Dispensaries can also use digital signage to play informational videos and create an easier payment process. Digital technology can help cannabis companies collect and process data to improve strategic marketing and customer outreach. Chatbots can be programmed to recognize patterns in customer inquiries and suggest products based on those patterns. Machine learning and artificial intelligence can automate certain processes, such as analyzing data and production data to increase consistency and lower costs. To see the benefits of digital technology in growing cannabis, take a look at the following examples.
