Increased Plant Health and Vitality with a 44% Reduction in Lab Costs with KETOS SHIELD

A leading global vertical farming company faced significant challenges with its labor-intensive and costly water quality monitoring process. Relying on daily off-site lab testing for key parameters like Nitrates and Orthophosphates resulted in 48-hour delays for results, which negatively impacted product quality and yield. To address this, they turned to KETOS and implemented the KETOS SHIELD solution.

KETOS provided a real-time, automated water monitoring solution that tested 19 parameters at frequencies ranging from every minute to four times per day. This allowed for immediate insight and alerts, enabling proactive nutrient management. The implementation by KETOS resulted in a 44% reduction in monthly lab costs, improved plant health by preventing deficiencies, and facilitated proactive equipment maintenance through data analytics.
