WHAT IS INDOOR FARMING?
Indoor farming is the future in food production. We replace the sun with our grow light technology, which includes our GrowMotion and GrowBeam line, and traditional irrigation with ToteFarm, to grow the healthiest and largest fruits, vegetables, and herbs, all while using a fraction of the energy and water compared to outdoor agriculture. Our pilot farms are currently being developed in St. Louis to fight food deserts with its low cost and low maintenance design.


HOW IT WORKS
Our farms use precision agriculture such as environmental sensor, atmospheric water harvesters, and robotics, to continously optimize grow conditions. We use sensors and AI to reduce energy, control climate conditions, and signal harvesting time in a greenhouse or indoor vertical farm.
GROW MORE. PROFIT MORE.
Indoor vertical farming is one of the fastest growing industries, but it still struggles to achieve profitable returns and provide the promise of affordable healthy food for future generations. Squarefruit Labs can help your bottom line by producing lower cost produce due to reduced energy use, higher yields, all with the ultimate goal to help feed the world.


ENERGY SAVINGS
Our Lighting solutions reduce energy use by over 50% when compared to traditional grow LED lighting. You will also see a reduction in the total heat generated in a grow room with less grow lights.
HIGHER YIELDS & HEALTHIER PLANTS
We've mentioned the energy benefits, but what about the quality of the produce grown? Our farms provide even lighting that eliminates hot spots and helps strengthen stems as they constantly are readjusting to the light source. Stronger stems not only stabilize plants, but they also allow for more efficient nutrient uptake. A moving light source also has the added benefit of deeper canopy penetration. Your food will taste better than ever.


COVER MORE GROUND
Our farming robots are expandable to fit any sized warehouse or greenhouse. Consistent PPFD coverage over crops is achievable with our modular software architecture that allows us to design GrowMotion, GrowBeam, and ToteFarm, to fully occupy any sized grow space.
FULL SPECTRUM LIGHTING
Getting the right light coverage is important for your crops, but knowing about perfect light spectrum for your plants is just as important. Plants utilize different spectrums and intensities of light at different stages of growth. Maximizing your crops exposure to the right wavelengths of light at the right time, is important for generating the highest yields and ensuring the flavor and texture of your plants are optimal. Our lighting options are full spectrum with the highest efficiency diodes.


DESIGN
Our lighting and robotic rails are made of anodized 6063 T-5 aluminum from a US supplier. GrowMotion is controlled using multiple microcontrollers connected to an array of sensors and motor. The stepper motor propels itself using a belt-and-pinion carriage for superior positioning and long lasting durability.
MANUFACTURABILITY
We have spent years formulating the best approach to bringing GrowMotion to market and our biggest hurdle was injection molding. So we ditched it and developed our own modular 3D printing factory we call Frontier MultiCell. Frontier prints all the plastic components that go into GrowMotion. We are able to develop at warp speed with no minimal order quantities and unlimited design possibilities. Frontier MultiCell is able to provide repeatable quality and at a price point that can't be beat compared to the investment of injection molding.


TESTED IN THE FIELD
Squarefruit Labs is deploying indoor farms in the community. Our system is cost effective and easy to operate in homes and private spaces. We will be showcasing pop-up farms around St. Louis that offer everything from food to flowers for the community.
