CultivaTECH
Control System
A precision supervisory control platform for environments where science-grade management of irrigation, nutrient dosing, and climate is not optional. Built for commercial growing operations, research facilities, and specialist cultivation programmes.
The capability that defines CultivaTECH
7+ billion variable combinations per genetic profile.
Root zone and environment — fully interconnected, in real time.
The only control system that manages root zone and environmental variables as a single responsive matrix — calibrated to the genetic profile of every variety being grown.
Irrigation Control
Precision Delivery
Automated water delivery across multiple concurrent crop zones, responding to live environmental conditions in real time — not fixed timers.
- Multi-zone scheduling with environmental responsiveness: Independent irrigation zones each with their own schedules and durations — automatically adjusting frequency and duration to live climate conditions rather than fixed programmes.
- Failsafe crop protection: Irrigation is locked automatically when nutrient solution parameters fall outside safe limits. Pressure monitoring with automatic pump protection on out-of-range conditions.
- Presets and full event logging: Named irrigation profiles across zones, with complete timestamped records of all events exportable for analysis.
Dosing Control
Nutrient Intelligence
Up to 24 independent nutrient and root zone treatment channels — each responding to every other variable across root zone and environment simultaneously.
"Every dose informed by the plant's actual environment. Every outcome verified before the next step."
- Up to 24 independent channels: Nutrient components and root zone treatments managed simultaneously — each individually calibrated per variety and zone.
- Sensor-verified at every event: Solution state confirmed at each step of every dosing cycle before the next action proceeds.
- Variety-specific dosing protocols: Saved, portable, and deployable across installations — a full library of cultivation recipes at your team's fingertips.
Climate Control
Environmental Control
Multi-zone environmental management — ventilation, heating, fans, and misting — each zone independently configured with its own sensors, schedules, and control parameters.
- Independent climate zones: Multiple named zones each with dedicated sensor assignments and equipment configurations — no zone compromises another. Outdoor weather station data integrated live into control logic.
- Automated equipment control: Ventilation, heating, fans, and misting all managed through a unified parameter-controlled framework — any equipment type configurable without custom code.
- Full sensor suite with continuous logging: Temperature, humidity, VPD, CO₂, solar radiation, PAR, and atmospheric pressure monitored, logged, and available for export across all zones.
System & Infrastructure
Industrial Reliability
Designed for continuous unattended operation. Hardwired failsafe, tiered alarm system, and complete configuration portability — production-grade from day one.
- Fully autonomous with hardwired failsafe: No control function depends on internet connectivity. An independent hardware backup layer activates automatically on any software connection loss — no operator intervention required.
- Tiered alarm system with SMS notification: Three severity levels with physical beacon output, audible alarm, and SMS dispatch to configured site recipients. Full alarm history logged and retained.
- Configuration portability and local API: Complete system configuration backed up and restored at any time. Local integration API enables connectivity to analytics pipelines and research data workflows.
Interface & Access
Built for Production Teams
A unified dashboard suite accessible from any browser — on site or remotely. Role-based access ensures every user sees exactly what they need.
- Live dashboards for every module: Irrigation, dosing, climate, and system status all updating automatically — no manual refresh, no separate screens required.
- Role-based access control: Three access tiers control which features are visible and editable for each user — from full administrative rights to operational monitoring only.
- Complete data export: All log types — irrigation, dosing, climate, alarms, and calibration records — exportable as CSV with date range selection.
Commercial Platform
Built for Scale
Subscription and modular licensing — supporting tiered configurations from single-site operations to multi-site enterprise deployments.
- Modular feature licensing: Individual capabilities independently licensable — custom configurations per site without paying for unused features.
- CultivaTECH Analytics integration: Full integration with the CultivaTECH Analytics Hub — financial performance, Deep Insights, compliance, and operational intelligence across the operation.
- Multilingual: Available in multiple languages, meeting the needs of global customers and a diverse workforce.
6 years of development before commercial deployment
CultivaTECH Control was developed and trialled across real-world cultivation facilities for six years before commercial deployment — now live across 3 continents. Every control mechanism, safety interlock, failsafe, and redundancy was tested under production conditions — not simulated ones.
The result is a system that carries the reliability expected of production-grade infrastructure, without the legacy architecture that limits what the established platforms can do.
Built to flex, grow, and respond
CultivaTECH embraces the best available software and hardware technology to deliver optimal solutions at lower cost — and to remain agile where the incumbents cannot. Our architecture is designed to evolve: new capabilities are added continuously, and your specific needs can directly shape what we build next.
If your operation has a requirement no existing system has addressed, we want to hear it. That conversation is how the most differentiated capabilities in this platform were built.
Part of the Saturn platform:
Who it's built for
Built for those who need more than the standard.
The major platforms serve the middle of the market well. CultivaTECH was built for operations where the middle isn't good enough — where precision, specificity, and scientific rigour are the baseline requirement, not the aspiration.
Research organisations
Corporate R&D programmes, university research facilities, and government agricultural institutions running trials that require genuine variable isolation — the ability to hold every parameter constant except the one being studied, at commercial scale, with full audit-grade data recording.
The precision that research demands
Specialist cultivators
Forestry nurseries, specialist propagators, rare cultivar producers, and high-value crop operations where standard protocols don't exist and generic systems can't be configured to the specificity required. Operations where the crop's genetic potential has never been fully expressed because the tools to do it haven't existed.
Where standard systems fall short
Progressive commercial growers
Commercial operations that have evaluated Priva, Ridder, Hoogendorn, and their equivalents — and decided that a system built for the average of their entire customer base is not adequate for the level of performance they intend to achieve. Operations that compete on crop quality and consistency, not commodity volume.
Beyond the incumbent standard
Why it matters
"The established platforms were built to serve the widest possible market. That is their strength and their limitation. CultivaTECH was built from a different starting point — from the science outward, for the operations that need what the science actually demands."
When up to 24 independent dosing channels each respond in real time to the same live climate and root zone variables — simultaneously, calibrated to a specific genetic profile — the cultivation environment becomes something the major platforms were never designed to create. That is the difference between a control system and a precision cultivation instrument.
