## Products & Services
- [HYVE Turnkey Indoor Farm Systems](https://ageyetech.com/turnkey-farms/): Modular, rack-based vertical farming systems ("Hydroponic Vertical Year-round Ecosystem") with integrated LED lighting, fertigation, environmental controls, robotics, sensors, and software. Designed and built at any scale. Example configurations:
  - HYVE Micro — entry scale, ~1,000 plants/week, ~23,000 lbs/year, ~950 sq ft, from $165K
  - HYVE Scale — early commercial, ~5,871 plants/week, ~305,280 plants/year, ~3,000 sq ft, from $985K
  - HYVE Pro — commercial scale, ~37,385 plants/week, ~1.94M plants/year, ~18,000 sq ft, from $2.1M
- [Digital Cultivation — Farm ERP + MES Software](https://ageyetech.com/software/): The operating system for indoor farms, and the only CEA platform that closes the loop from a customer order all the way to the margin on the batch that filled it. One system covers the order book, production planning, closed-loop environmental automation, per-plant computer vision, traceability, labor, energy, and a real general ledger — so every harvest reports an actual cost-per-pound benchmarked against the live USDA market price. Modular: farms start with the production core and switch on the rest as they scale.
- [CultivAid — Agentic AI](https://ageyetech.com/software/): The AI copilot inside Digital Cultivation. It answers questions grounded in the farm's own data across every module, and it can act — but only by proposing. CultivAid drafts an action (plant more cycles to cover an order shortfall, change a setpoint, reorder stock), a human approves it in an inbox, and execution is attributed to the approver in the audit trail. Nothing runs autonomously without human approval.

- [AGEYE Market Intelligence — Wholesale Produce Pricing](https://ageyetech.com/market-intelligence/): Wholesale price intelligence for growers, built entirely on USDA AMS Terminal Market reports — actual reported sales at ten US terminal markets (Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Atlanta, Columbia, Miami, Chicago, Detroit, Los Angeles), refreshed every trading day, tracked down to the crop variety rather than a blended crop average. It is descriptive, not predictive: it reports the range a crop actually sold in — normalised across crop, variety, pack size and market — and grades a proposed quote against it. Where a pack size carries no honest weight, it says so instead of deriving a per-pound price. Covers 64 crop varieties across 17 crops (leafy greens, herbs, mushrooms) — each variety is priced separately rather than blended into a crop average, because the spread inside one crop reaches 5x.

## Digital Cultivation Modules
The platform is modular. Farms run the production core and enable the rest as needed.
- Grow: Production Planning; Crop Recipes; Task Orchestration; Seeds & Inventory; Harvest Manager (cost-per-pound and margin on every batch)
- Environment: Live Monitoring (air, water and nutrient telemetry — temperature, humidity, CO2, EC, pH, ORP, DO, flow, turbidity); 2D/3D Floor Plan (a live digital twin with any metric heat-mapped onto every rack level and 24-hour playback); Bacterial Risk Index (a six-factor hydroponic water-safety score covering Pythium, Fusarium, Pseudomonas, Erwinia, Phytophthora, Clostridium and Ralstonia); Controls & Automation (recipe-driven setpoints, lighting, maintain-band fertigation); Robotics & Cameras (elevators, imaging robots, live streams)
- Crop Intelligence: Crop Health (every plant imaged and measured — canopy area, height, greenness, temperature — with outliers flagged automatically); Crop Growth (day-over-day canopy tracking with per-plant time-lapse); Predict & Planning (yield forecasting, what-if modelling, and published model accuracy)
- Quality & Compliance: Traceability (seed-lot-to-shipment chain, FSMA 204 export, mock recall, public QR trace page); SOPs & Training (versioned procedures with sign-offs); Equipment & Maintenance (assets, preventive maintenance, work orders)
- Business: Sales & Orders (customer and standing orders, packout, finished goods, fulfillment); Finance (general ledger, AR/AP, invoicing, bank feeds, COGS posting); Labor (time on task, department rates, hours forecasting); Energy (per-rack kWh metering and cost reporting); Market Prices (live USDA terminal-market pricing); Reports (operational, financial and compliance packs, QuickBooks-ready COGS journal export)
- Intelligence: CultivAid (cross-module AI copilot with propose-then-approve actions); Crop-Mix Advisor (reads the order book against finished goods and proposes exactly what to plant to close a shortfall)

## Digital Cultivation — Module Deep Dives
Every module has its own page. All are shipping capabilities.
- [Production Planning — Grow](https://ageyetech.com/software/production-planning/): Six months of plantings, back-calculated from what you promised to ship — against the capacity you actually have.
- [Crop Recipes — Grow](https://ageyetech.com/software/crop-recipes/): A recipe is a crop's whole life — stage durations, photoperiod, irrigation, fertigation, target bands — and the platform executes it.
- [Task Orchestration — Grow](https://ageyetech.com/software/task-orchestration/): Seeding, transplanting, harvest and sanitation generate themselves from the schedule — assigned by role, timed to your shifts.
- [Seeds & Inventory — Grow](https://ageyetech.com/software/seeds-inventory/): Seed lots, media, nutrients, packaging and spares — forecast forward against the production schedule, not counted after the fact.
- [Harvest Manager — Grow](https://ageyetech.com/software/harvest-manager/): Every input that touched the batch lands against the batch. So a harvest gives you a number, not a weight.
- [Live Monitoring — Environment](https://ageyetech.com/software/live-monitoring/): Worst-first triage across the whole facility, so the rack that needs you is the one you see.
- [2D / 3D Floor Plan — Environment](https://ageyetech.com/software/digital-twin/): Any metric, heat-mapped onto every rack level — with 24-hour playback to watch a problem develop.
- [Bacterial Risk Index — Environment](https://ageyetech.com/software/bacterial-risk-index/): A six-factor water-safety score built for hydroponics — tracking the pathogens that actually kill CEA crops.
- [Controls & Automation — Environment](https://ageyetech.com/software/controls-automation/): Recipe-driven setpoints, lighting and fertigation — with a ladder of autonomy you set per system, not all at once.
- [Robotics & Cameras — Environment](https://ageyetech.com/software/robotics-cameras/): Elevators and imaging robots driven from the platform, live camera streams from the room, and actuators that fail safe.
- [Crop Health — Crop Intelligence](https://ageyetech.com/software/crop-health/): Imaging robots walk the racks and measure every plant in the room — then tell you which ones do not look right.
- [Crop Growth — Crop Intelligence](https://ageyetech.com/software/crop-growth/): Canopy expansion tracked day over day, per tray and per plant — with a day-by-day time-lapse of any plant in the room.
- [Predict & Planning — Crop Intelligence](https://ageyetech.com/software/yield-prediction/): Every vendor will forecast your yield. We publish the model's accuracy back to you, cycle after cycle.
- [Traceability — Quality & Compliance](https://ageyetech.com/software/traceability/): FSMA 204 stopped being optional. Traceability turns a week of panic into an export.
- [SOPs & Training — Quality & Compliance](https://ageyetech.com/software/sops-training/): Versioned procedures with dated sign-offs — so the training record writes itself and the audit stops being a fire drill.
- [Equipment & Maintenance — Quality & Compliance](https://ageyetech.com/software/equipment-maintenance/): Assets, preventive-maintenance schedules and work orders — so maintenance is something you scheduled, not something that happened to you.
- [Sales & Orders — Business](https://ageyetech.com/software/sales-orders/): Customer orders and standing weekly deliveries, reconciled continuously against what is actually in the racks.
- [Finance — Business](https://ageyetech.com/software/finance/): AR, AP, invoicing and bank feeds — with harvest COGS posting straight in.
- [Labor — Business](https://ageyetech.com/software/labor/): Labor is the biggest line in indoor farming. This is the module that says where it went — and where it is going.
- [Energy — Business](https://ageyetech.com/software/energy/): Per-rack kWh metering and energy cost reporting — so power stops being one number at the bottom of a utility bill.
- [Market Prices — Business](https://ageyetech.com/software/market-prices/): Live USDA terminal-market pricing, wired into the margin on every batch you harvest.
- [Reports — Business](https://ageyetech.com/software/reports/): Operational, financial and compliance report packs — plus a QuickBooks-ready COGS journal export.
- [CultivAid — Intelligence](https://ageyetech.com/software/cultivaid/): CultivAid reads across every module, answers in plain language, and can act — but only with a human signature on it.
- [Crop-Mix Advisor — Intelligence](https://ageyetech.com/software/crop-mix-advisor/): It reads the order book against what is actually in the racks, finds the gap, and tells you exactly what to plant to close it.
