farm” technologies and innovative waste, energy and growing solutions to enable operators of greenhouses, vertical farms, urban farmers and livestock to increase quality, yield, productivity and management in the most sustainable, simple and economic fashion.
chief engineer of his consultancy business, The Project Office for 30 years and more recently his start up award-winning research, development and sustainable innovations company, Enesys. John has extensive experience in electrical and mechanical design, construction, process control, technical expertise, risk management, business strategy, sustainable and economic modelling, project management and innovation across a broad range of industries. With a current focus on aquaculture and agriculture, John is always looking for ways to integrate the most sustainable solutions with leading edge technology. John’s experience enabled him to ask this question ?????? What if you could take the bi- products of two damaging industries and merge them to consume each other's waste and increase each other's productivity whilst creating a renewable energy source?
environment how do we assure that future protected, vertical and urban farmers can: Increase Yield and Quality Improve Productivity Reduce Water Usage Reduce Waste Reduce Energy Usage and Costs Save time, Decrease disruptions and downtimes and Reduce their impact on the Environment, all at once?
and lighting requirements are expensive to install and run, technically complex, lack synergies and use a huge amount of energy. This becomes even worse in a vertical farm environment. When growing on scale, lighting and environmental control blow out the energy footprint to make growing like this sustainable or economical. Future food security will depend on our food being grown in an urban environment, within communities and with sustainable energy solutions.
Controlling a Greenhouse and Vertical Farm becomes more affordable, smarter and more energy efficient • Unique multi spectrum variable lighting solutions reduce energy and provide what a plant really needs, when it needs it. • Enables waste to be used as a clean energy source for growing. • Links sustainable precincts together in ways that have not been achieved before.
with tight budgets are restricted in the automation available to them. • There is a need for a system that offers higher productivity and quality, lower capital and operating costs, reduced technical complexity and higher reliability. • CubeLink was developed to provide ultra- low- cost control systems platform for all industry sectors and especially processes that are distributed over large geographic areas ( e.g. agriculture, algae etc).
systems supporting the core growing environment Powerful Recipes Growlink continually modifies the entire growing environment and fertigation to satisfy a growing recipe for any crop at any stage of growth. Growers can use inbuilt pull-down recipes or create their own. Based on a simple crop recipe selection, GrowLink monitors and controls every aspect of the growing environment and this frees the grower to focus on their core business, not the growing systems.
Lighting ( VSL) saves growers on energy costs. By varying PAR, spectrum, intensity and frequency, GrowLink VSL can: Minimise energy wasted on photosynthetically useless photon wavelengths Maximise crop growth at various phases of plant maturity- seedling, juvenile, mature, flowering, fruiting Maximise economic/logistics benefits by accelerating, delaying or holding plant growth phases
to food • GrowLink incorporates a suite of waste to energy packaged technologies including the conversion of food and non woody organic waste ( low Lignin) and woody wastes ( high lignin). GrowLink waste to energy systems are designed to recycle every component of organic waste including clean fuel gas ( energy), carbon dioxide, water and nutrient. When combined with GrowLink technologies, organic waste to energy has an extremely high natural synergy with growing systems. Convert Energy costs to income • There are high fees to dispose of organic waste. Growers can collect high gate fees for receiving organic waste that is then beneficially converted to energy and then to food Recycle Carbon Dioxide • Growlink uses the recycled and generated carbon dioxide to enrich the growing environment in response to the selected crop recipes
and analytics Reporting and Crop Data GrowLink logs all growing parameters and provides production, resource and maintenance data and analytics to assist the growers with planning and growing methodologies.

Systems. We link businesses and solutions unlike anyone else. 2. Owning, Operating and Supporting Projects. E.g., Seller of clean energy back to a grower. Subscription model for control and data. 3. Licensing & Franchising Systems. Licensing our control systems and technologies for other engineering companies to use. Our technologies enable projects with smaller budgets to become a reality. Costs of goods more competitive than what else is available. We have not reinvented the wheel, but we do link and control existing technologies and integrate businesses in ways that are seldom achieved. 0 5,000,000 10,000,000 15,000,000 20,000,000 Average Project Costs and Profit CURRENT CAPACITY- 2 projects a year Capacity increases with additional staff Project Budget Cost of Good and Services Net Profit
