Modular Control for Indoor Farms.
The Green-X Indoor Farm (GCS-1) is a modular control system designed for indoor vertical farms and plant factories. It manages climate, CO₂, lighting, and irrigation in a fully controlled environment — no outdoor weather dependencies. The same proven GCS-1 hardware, configured for indoor multi-layer grow rooms.
Climate Control
Precision environmental management for multi-layer indoor farms. The GCS-1 monitors temperature, humidity, CO2, and light per room via MBS-GH 4-in-1 sensors on the RS485 bus. Multi-zone capability lets you maintain different climate profiles for propagation, vegetative growth, and flowering rooms simultaneously — no outdoor weather dependencies, pure indoor control.
Key Modules: MBS-GH 4-in-1 Sensor, MBS-S8 CO2 Sensor, 4RS-2 Device Station, OA6-24 Output Board
Irrigation Control
Automated fertigation triggered by real-time substrate moisture data — not fixed schedules. WCS-3 sensors measure water content, temperature, and EC in the grow medium. The GCS-1 activates pumps and valves only when crops actually need water, reducing waste and preventing root zone issues. Leak detection (WD-1) adds an extra safety layer for indoor facilities.
Key Modules: WCS-3 Water Content Sensor, DSP-1 Pump Station, DSD-1/DSV-1 Valve Modules, WD-1 Leak Detector
Lighting Control
Two independent lighting channels with full spectrum control per layer. Run different PPFD targets and photoperiods for propagation, vegetative, and flowering zones simultaneously. AUTO (PPFD) mode uses MBS-PAR quantum sensor feedback to maintain exact light levels as fixtures age. Sunrise/sunset simulation reduces abrupt light stress in sensitive cultivars.
Key Modules: LMA-14 Lighting Adapter, MBS-PAR Quantum Sensor, LINE 1 & LINE 2 Dual Channel
Remote Management
Full visibility into every room from your phone. AWS IoT cloud architecture connects the GCS-1 to the TM+ Pro app for real-time monitoring, historical trend analysis, and instant alerts. Multi-farm dashboard lets you oversee multiple facilities in one view. OTA firmware updates keep all controllers on the latest version without site visits.
Key Modules: AWS IoT Cloud, TM+ Pro App (iOS/Android), Multi-Farm Dashboard, OTA Updates
