VGROW

Within V-GROW, we focus on developing and demonstrating an integrated smart vertical aeroponic greenhouse system designed for efficient, sustainable and digitally enabled crop production. The solution combines modular aeroponic growing units produced through additive manufacturing with IoT sensors, RGB and multispectral imaging, 5G/LoRaWAN connectivity, artificial intelligence and real-time data analytics.

The V-GROW system integrates environmental and crop monitoring with AI-assisted plant disease detection, water and nutrient management, process automation and a Decision Support System (DSS). All technological components will be integrated and validated under real production conditions at the MyGaia greenhouse in Western Greece, providing a scalable approach for reducing resource consumption, improving greenhouse management and supporting the transition towards more resilient and data-driven agriculture.
