During the 6-month period, the teams were not allowed to enter the greenhouse units and had to make changes\/manage the crops entirely remotely. Heliospectra sponsored the event by supplying ELIXIA lights which joined existing HPS lights in the greenhouse units to create a hybrid lighting system (HPS and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/heliospectra.com\/led-grow-lights\/elixia\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Heliospectra\u2019s ELIXIA LED Grow lights<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\"> together).

The AI systems have been found to be more accurate and are able to outperform human growers in making these resource changes, this would thus allow for more eco-friendly production and cost savings. These efficiencies increase as the greenhouse size increases, making this an attractive model for larger installations.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Another major implication is that because of the AI systems, the crops were grown remotely. This is especially important today due to the situation with COVID-19 where growers have had trouble working on their crops. AI systems make these problems essentially nonexistent, by allowing for full remote and autonomous control of greenhouses. Because of this and the increased efficiencies, these AI-driven systems are thought to be the growing method of the future!\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Interested in learning more about the competition and what the future of autonomous cultivation could look like?
