Turnkey indoor farms, engineered as one system

You bring the building.
We engineer the farm.

Racks, lighting, fertigation, robotics, climate, controls and the software that ties them together. One company designs it, builds it, installs it and commissions it — from the first drawing to your first harvest.

Who owns what

Four things are yours.
The rest is ours.

Crop mix, throughput, labor, utilities and expansion all shape one system architecture, and one company answers for it.

AGEYE owns

  • Production grow rack systems (4–20 levels tall) and food-safe grow trays
  • High-efficiency LED lighting systems
  • Automated fertigation and nutrient delivery
  • Dedicated germination and nursery systems
  • Robotics and material handling automation (package-dependent)
  • Environmental and operational sensing
  • Farm control software, AI, and plant analytics

You own

  • A suitable building or warehouse space
  • Licensed plumbing and electrical work
  • Local MEP contractor coordination (we work directly with your team)
  • Building permits and compliance (we provide engineering documents)

Start with the building

Whatever the space,
we’ll get the most production out of it.

Four things about the space set how many growing levels fit, how long the racks run, and what the room can produce in a week. Send us those four and we’ll come back with a layout and a number.

Floor area
The examples on this page run from about 1,800 sq ft to 21,800, and they don’t stop there — bigger sites get designed the same way. One contiguous run beats the same area split across rooms.
Clear height
At 9.5 ft you get four growing levels. At 15 ft, seven. At 24 ft, twelve. Measure to the lowest obstruction — joists, sprinklers, ductwork — not the deck.
Power
Three-phase service sized to the lighting and climate load. Your electrical contractor sizes it from our load schedule, which ships with the engineering package.
Water & drain
A potable supply and a floor drain. Fertigation recirculates, so the running consumption is well below the volume in the system.
None of this is a hard cutoff. A low ceiling just means fewer levels and longer racks. Limited power means a different lighting and climate strategy. Send us the numbers and we’ll tell you straight what the space can carry.

Example configurations

Six systems, priced.
Each one engineered to your building.

There’s no software tier and no sensing upgrade — a Pilot runs the same stack a Mega does. Six builds, engineered and priced, so you can weigh output against crew and capital before you talk to anyone. The closest one becomes the starting point for a farm drawn to your building.

In every configuration, at every price

  • Production grow racks & food-safe trays
  • High-efficiency LED lighting
  • Automated fertigation & nutrient delivery
  • Germination & nursery systems
  • Environmental & operational sensing
  • Digital Cultivation™ farm management
  • CultivAid™ AI optimization
  • ARIS™ plant scanning & analytics
  • Engineering, installation & commissioning

What changes across the six is how much of the labor is mechanized. That is the Automation list inside each card.

Find My Starting Point

From concept to go-live

A visible path.
A clear owner at every stage.

From order to go-live, expect about five to six months: roughly 90 days to manufacture and ship, then 60 to 90 days on site. Concept and engineering happen before that clock starts, and the building-side work runs alongside manufacturing rather than after it.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What crops can a HYVE system grow?

Leafy greens and lettuces (butterhead, romaine, red leaf), basil and fresh herbs (genovese, Thai, cilantro, mint, dill), arugula, kale, specialty and microgreens (watercress, sorrel, shiso), and custom salad blends — 50+ varieties across the platform. Your crop mix drives the rack layout, the environment strategy and the throughput figures, so it is one of the first things we ask for.

Can I use the software without buying a HYVE system?

Yes. Digital Cultivation is available as a standalone SaaS product for existing farms running third-party sensors and equipment, and it supports ERP integration so you do not have to re-platform. On a HYVE system it is included — there is no software tier and no sensing upgrade, so a Pilot runs the same stack a Mega does.
