NEW DYNAMIC LED FIXTURE AND SUNAAS®
FUNCTIONALITY PACKAGES FOR GREATER CONTROL AND FLEXIBILITY
MONTRÉAL, Sept. 17,
2024 /PRNewswire/ - On the eve of the
10th anniversary of its foundation in January 2015, Sollum Technologies is proud
to launch new products and services built on its extensive
experience in dynamic LED lighting management.
Sollum is an industry pioneer, creating the only fully dynamic
LED lighting technology managed by a cloud-based platform, SUN as a
Service® (SUNaaS®). This user-friendly
platform reproduces with unrivalled precision the natural cycle of
sunlight, which remains the ultimate reference in agricultural
lighting. Designed and manufactured in Canada, Sollum's technology and its benefits
are in a class of their own, as does the agronomic and technical
support the company offers its customers.
"Inspired by nature, Sollum's technology has been successfully
implemented in the production of over 85 varieties of produce and
100 acres of greenhouses in North
America and Europe," said
Louis Brun, co-founder and CEO of
Sollum Technologies. "For nearly 10 years now, we've developed
cutting-edge expertise by experimenting with how modulating light
benefits crop productivity, plant characteristics and energy
consumption, and facilitates pest management. In doing so, we've
listened carefully to our customers to understand their needs and
supported them in adopting our technology. The evolution of our
products and services reflects our findings in the field and
discussions, injecting even more flexibility into growers' choices
and control over lighting."
SF-E2 ™ — A new
energy-efficient fixture
The targeted LED spectrum of the new SF-E2
fixture provides maximum energy efficiency and plant growth to
energy-conscious growers.
The SF-E2 is also suitable for businesses aiming to
cohabit HPS technology with easy-to-use LED technology as part
of a gradual transition.
Three wattages for each fixture
To adapt to any greenhouse size and configuration, all Sollum
fixtures are now available in three wattages: 400, 800 and 1040
watts.
Sollum's line-up of fixtures also includes the SF-ONE™ and
SF-PRO™. The SF-ONE's simple, flexible technology offers a spectrum
that boosts crop productivity and enables the production of a
majority of crops, while the SF-PRO's very broad spectrum provides
maximum light modulation to control and maintain a balance between
all production parameters such as costs, growth, quality and
sustainability.
Greater flexibility and control thanks to a tailored SUNaaS
platform offering
All SF fixtures are powered by the SUNaaS platform, which uses
artificial intelligence (AI) to generate exceptional results thanks
to unrivalled precision in the lights' output. Features most
appreciated by growers include automatic real time dimming based on
ambient light variations, and the ability to easily create and
modify distinct zones to grow multiple products with the same
technology.
"In the spirit of the flexibility inherent in dynamic lighting,
we have designed the SUNaaS platform offering to suit the
preferences of growers who want to benefit from certain
functionalities rather than others," mentioned
François-Roy Moisan, co-founder
and CTO of Sollum. "As a result, we are proposing a core package
included with the purchase of any fixture and an optional advanced
package, to which a customer can add additional features that match
their priorities. Like our technology, our services now support a
highly personalized experience."
The constant evolution of the SUNaaS platform is
future-proof
With a view to continuous improvement, Sollum keeps on enhancing
its cloud-based platform by integrating the technology with leading
climate control systems (including Damatex) and plant
visualization systems (Leaficient), which help simplify plant
growth control and increase lighting efficiency. These
improvements, like all enhancements to the platform are
automatically made available to customers as they are implemented,
for them to enjoy the latest advances in dynamic LED lighting
without additional investments.
Unparalleled support for all
No matter which fixtures and functionalities customers choose,
they will all continue to enjoy the unfailing support of Sollum's
team of agronomists and technical experts by email, telephone or
onsite in their greenhouse, 24/7.
