The technology
VanaOS — how the farm runs.
Climate, batch records, and dispatch traceability are all captured by VanaOS, the operating system we built for the facility. No manual logs. No estimates. Every variable held to spec, every deviation recorded.
The stack
Node. Edge. Cloud.
Three independent layers. The farm keeps running if any one of them fails. That is not a contingency — it is the design.
01 · Node
On every rack.
Local sensors on every growing zone — temperature, humidity, CO₂, airflow. Actuators tied to the same loop so adjustments happen in seconds, not minutes.
- Per-rack sensors
- Local actuators
- Continuous closed-loop
02 · Edge
In every room.
A local controller per growing room holds the climate independently. If the cloud is down, power dips, or the network drops, the room keeps running on its last known good profile.
- Offline-capable
- Last-known-good fallback
- Per-room isolation
03 · Cloud
On every screen.
Aggregated batch logs, deviation alerts to phone, traceability per consignment. Auditable history from substrate lot to dispatch slip.
- Batch-level audit trail
- Phone-side alerting
- Per-consignment traceability
The technology stack
Six pillars. One operating system.

01 · Climate loop
Closed-loop control.
Temperature, RH, and CO₂ held to setpoints tuned per growth phase — colonization, pinning, fruiting — not a single 'average' for the whole cycle.
The cultivation cycle
From substrate to dispatch.
Six stages. Roughly 24 days. Every one of them instrumented, logged, and traceable back to the substrate lot.
Day 0
Substrate prep
Raw substrate processed, hydrated, and pasteurized under controlled conditions. The cleanest possible starting point.
Day 0–1
Inoculation
Sterile inoculation with selected spawn under HEPA-filtered conditions. Contamination risk is engineered down at this step.
Day 1–14
Incubation
Bags moved to incubation. Climate held tight while mycelium colonizes the substrate.
Day 14–18
Pinning
Light cycles and CO₂ flushing trigger pin formation. The first sign of a successful crop.
Day 18–24
Fruiting
Pins develop into clusters. Humidity rails fire on cycle. Airflow is now a primary variable.
Day 24+
Harvest
Picked at peak, graded at the rack, packed under cold chain. Grade A only — culls rejected at packing.
Held to spec
Four variables. All of them controlled.
Temperature
Continuously held
Species-appropriate fruiting band, maintained around the clock. The room adapts to the spec — not the other way around.
Humidity
Sensor-loop control
Relative humidity driven by atomised mist on a closed feedback loop. Not a timer — a live reading.
CO₂
Demand-driven exchange
Ventilation runs when the sensor calls for it, not on a schedule. The crop breathes when it needs to.
Airflow
Differential pressure
Room-to-room pressure differential maintained to prevent cross-contamination between growing cycles.
Digital twin
Step inside the facility.
An interactive 3D model of every rack, fan, and sensor — built as a planning tool so we can iterate on the automation layout before touching the physical site. If you are evaluating us as a supplier and cannot visit, this is the next best thing.
