Heliospectra’s vision is to create a complete sys-tem including biofeedback where the plants are in essence controlling the light system.

DISRUPTIVE TECHNOLOGY

Heliospectra has developed a disruptive LED-based intelligent lighting solution for greenhouses, indoor growing, and growth chambers. Heliospectra’s lighting system is centered on its ability to understand plants’ characteristics and needs and modify the generated light spectrum to fast-track growth in an optimized manner. Heliospectra’s technology is unique in its foundation in the Internet of Things (IoT). By combining sensors – which monitor the condition of plants and how they use the light –with state-of-the-art software that controls the lighting via Ethernet and/or WiFi, the Company offers growers the ability to collect data and potentially accelerate their own learning curve.
