Montreal-based Sollum Technologies has announced a new partnership with Optimal, headquartered in the U.K., to help growers manage crops under changing environmental conditions.
In a recent news release, Sollum said it will integrate its LED lighting solutions with Optimal’s AI-based climate and irrigation control platform.
According to the release, the collaboration is intended to help growers manage their crop strategies amid changing weather conditions.
By integrating Sollum’s SUN as a Service platform, Optimal’s AI is designed to anticipate the impact of light and balance it with climate and irrigation, the release said.
The company also said growers will be able to manage lighting, climate and irrigation, 24/7.
“Our dynamic lighting solution was built to adapt — and this partnership takes that adaptability to the next level,” said François R.-Moisan, co-founder and chief technology officer at Sollum, in the release.
“By connecting with Optimal’s decision-making engine, our platform becomes even more responsive to crop needs.”
