global Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) market, which is expanding rapidly due to rising demand for reliable food supplies and decreasing setup costs. Yet the sector faces mounting pressures: energy and labour costs have surged, emissions regulations are tightening and there's a shortage of skilled growers to operate indoor farms, greenhouses and seed breeding businesses.

全球受控环境农业（CEA）市场正在迅速扩张，这得益于对可靠粮食供应需求的不断增长以及设施成本的下降。然而，该行业面临的压力也在不断增加：能源和劳动力成本飙升，排放法规日趋严格，并且缺乏熟练的种植者来运营室内农场、温室和种子育种业务。

Existing tools lack the sophistication to process vast amounts of data and deliver timely insights, leaving many operations struggling to adapt efficiently. This underscores a pressing need for AI-powered solutions capable of analysing large swathes of data in real time – enabling smarter, automated decisions and unlocking the full potential of precision agriculture..

现有工具缺乏处理大量数据并提供及时洞察的复杂性，导致许多操作难以高效适应。这凸显了对人工智能驱动解决方案的迫切需求，这些解决方案能够实时分析大量数据，实现更智能、自动化的决策，并充分释放精准农业的潜力。

, one of the UK's most progressive fruit producers, adopted Gardin's technology after seeing its potential to deliver scalable, confident decision-making for more resilient, high-quality crops. 'We have been long believers that to truly optimise food production we need to be able to change the greenhouse climate to adapt to the crop's needs but there was no solution on the market that could solve this with high confidence and scalably….

highlights Gardin's ability to drive profitability boosts of up to 30%, yield gains of 15%, and early detection of crop stress weeks in advance – marking a shift from traditional climate control to data-driven 'crop control.' 'For many years now we have been able to effectively automate climate control around the crop, the next phase is to incorporate real time feedback from the crop and move from 'climate control' towards 'crop control'.

Gardin的亮点在于其能够推动高达30%的盈利能力提升、15%的产量增长，并提前数周检测作物压力——这标志着从传统的气候控制向数据驱动的“作物控制”转变。 “多年来，我们已经能够有效地实现围绕作物的气候控制自动化，下一阶段是将作物的实时反馈纳入其中，从‘气候控制’转向‘作物控制’。”

Gardin has developed the key technology to enable this,' said Sander Baraké, CTO at Ridder. 'Results include profitability boosts of up to 30% by optimizing winter LED efficiency and maximising summer light. Yield increases of up to 15% and early detection of biotic and abiotic stresses by up to 4 weeks before crop walking,' he continued..

“Gardin已经开发出实现这一目标的关键技术，”Ridder的首席技术官Sander Baraké表示。“成果包括通过优化冬季LED效率和最大化夏季光照，利润提升高达30%。产量增加多达15%，并且能够比人工巡查提前最多4周检测到生物和非生物胁迫，”他继续说道。
