Packet Greens will be a 10,000 square feet farm which utilizes the best-in-class technology. With 6 years of experience in the vertical farm industry, Packet Greens has successfully grown over 50 varieties of vegetables.
HIGHEST USAGE OF
TECHNOLOGY TO GROW
FRESH LOCAL CROPS
TECHNOLOGY TO GROW
FRESH LOCAL CROPS
By harnessing past knowledge and experience on how best to grow certain crops, they have embarked on an ambitious challenge of growing 7-8 tonnes of vegetables per month once the farm is ready for full production.
Modular Plant Factory System
This plant factory system can be modularly stacked in various ways based on the principle of building blocks. Rack levels and heights can be flexibly and easily adjusted without the need for special tools. The plants are cultivated hydroponically. The latest generation of LED chip technology is used for accurate light distribution, while a technology for nutrient supply accurately regulates the growth of the plants. The system is mainly made of non-metallic materials, which are moisture-resistant, anticorrosive, and non-deformable. There will be a revolutionary modular design in the water tray system to improve operation and maintenance for algae cleaning.
Solar Powered Electricity
Packet Greens will be the first local vertical farm that uses Green Renewable Energy provided by solar panels which will be installed at the roof of the vertical farm. This setup will help to generate 300MWhr of clean energy per year. The 230kWp solar system is expected to save $50,000 of energy cost per year (over $1,000,000 over 20 years). LCOE of solaris only $0.053 per kWhr.
Advanced LED
We are the sole distributor in Southeast Asia for a Dutch technology that supply growth lights using a patented LEDs. The unique growth lights consist of 2 parts. Basic growth lights and supplement lights. This Basic Growth lights were designed basing on the Chlorophyll A & B absorption characteristic. Supplement lights consists of 3 different wavelength of lights that improves in both, biorhythm, (nutrition content) and morphology, (shape, size, and weight) development of the crops. Usage of the latest LED lighting for growth lights will reduce the time of growth by the plants and hence increase yield.
Customised AGV (Autonomous Goods Vehicle)
We will be engaging our partner to create a customized AGV to automatically bring down the growth trays to ground level and lower the manpower component. This revolutionary concept will increase efficiency and lower manpower costs while keeping work safety of our workers on the farm at a high level.
