N.THING
Republic of Korea
N.THING is an IoT-enabled sensors based digital solution for garden monitoring. It uses sensors to control and monitor the growth of their indoor plants through the IoT platform. Users can track the data on the smartphone application from which they can control the plant’s humidity, water level, and light remotely. The app offers weather reports, measuring schemes, and mood boards that help plant lovers closely monitor the changes in their plants. N.THING CUBE is a standardized, indoor vertical farm made from a 40-foot HC container that offers both scalability and cultivation efficiency. Containers can be stacked and arranged to meet size requirements and purposes. Inside the container farm, the environment is fully controlled with IoT technology and dedicated OS. Compared to conventional farming, N.THING CUBE increases the yield up to 100 times per unit area, while using 90% less water.
