Where Control Fits in the Saturn Platform

Control is one layer of the Saturn platform. CultivaTech data feeds the FarmIntel Analytics Hub, which turns control data into financial, operational, and compliance insight. The Saturn platform overview shows how control, analytics, and integration services work together.

For an existing facility, see the retrofit and automation upgrade for existing growing facilities. Saturn works as a growing systems integrator. It designs, installs, and supports the full system around the controller.

Frequently asked questions

Choosing a control system: common questions

A greenhouse climate control system measures conditions inside and outside the growing area and adjusts equipment to keep the crop in its target range. It can control vents, heating, fans, misting, irrigation, and nutrient dosing. Saturn offers two routes: CultivaTech for full facility control and Optimizer for a single job.
CultivaTech is the full control system, and it is programmable. It coordinates climate, irrigation, and nutrient dosing across multiple zones, with browser-based access. Optimizer is a single-function controller that automates one job, such as vents, heating, or fertigation, and is controlled from a phone.
No, you can automate just one job. Optimizer is built for that case and fits onto the cabling, motors, and pipework already on site, so the facility does not need rebuilding. If you need several climate zones, or irrigation and dosing coordinated with climate, full CultivaTech is the better fit.
In most cases, yes, although compatibility depends on the equipment on your site. Optimizer fits onto existing cabling, motors, and pipework, and connects to compatible sensors and weather stations already on site. CultivaTech is hardware-agnostic and can interface with third-party sensors, valves, and control equipment already installed.
Yes, Optimizer is designed to grow with the site. It has four software levels on the same controller, from timed and remote control to full control of screens, fans, heaters, or foggers. Moving between levels is a software change with no re-wiring and no new hardware.
Start the Pathfinder, or use the contact page to request a demonstration. Saturn reviews your answers before the first conversation, so it starts from your facility rather than general product detail. Keep your current equipment list to hand if you have one.
