Drawing from our Agtech team's extensive experience in developing competitive vertical farms, we've pinpointed the shortcomings in today's systems and workflows. Our goal was to create an improved solution, and that's precisely what we've achieved. Let's take a look at some of the challenges we've identified in our competitors' offerings:

  • High Capital Expenditures

    Inefficient implementation of automation and growing equipment is disincentivized by high valuations and large investments. 

    Container and module farming systems require high infrastructure capital requirements per plant. 

    Failure to consider engineering, finance, operations, and plant science from the onset leads to suboptimal system architecture.

  • High Operating Expenses

    Lack of operational considerations and system integration leads to unnecessary and complicated work processes. 

    Over-emphasis on providing many microclimates increases operating cost per plant. 

    Using legacy greenhouse technology and stacking it vertically introduces significant inefficiencies due to suboptimal transportation and size of greenhouse components.

  • Not Enough Yield

    Inefficient system design leads to poor use of space for infrastructure, processing, and access, reducing the growing area for plants. Focusing on low-performance crops limits the potential of indoor farming technology. The industry's mindset of reducing LED output to save energy is misguided; the proper approach is to use efficient diodes and maximize photosynthesis with high light output.

PROPRIETARY FARMING PLATFORM

Klimb's proprietary platform offers several advantages for crop cultivation: 

Unmatched yield metrics and exceptional unit economics Significantly lower capital and operating costs Swift maintenance without production interference Top-quality produce with optimal texture and flavor Insulation from nature and supply chain disruptions Reduced agricultural waste, energy usage, and environmental footprint 

Klimb's platform is designed for sustainability and efficiency, ensuring a reliable and consistent crop output while reducing environmental impact. 

With its innovative and efficient farming practices, Klimb is at the forefront of sustainable crop production.

PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY
  • PLASTIC SUBSTRATE

    Proprietary design that improves aeration and encourages root growth, contributing to higher plant yields. It is reusable over hundreds of cycles, meaning a lower raw material consumption which leads to better unit economics versus competitors.

  • ARTIFICIAL LIGHTING

    Proprietary light spectrum solution that balances yield versus flavor and offers industry leading energy efficiency for full spectrum LEDs at a significant price discount to mainstream brands. This cost savings allows our system to deploy more LEDS, providing plants with much higher light intensity, increasing photosynthesis rates which leads to higher yield

  • NUTRIENT DELIVERY

    Proprietary blend of nutrients and organic acids promotes healthy plant growth and quality flavor profile. Irrigation system combines the advantages of hydroponic and aeroponic delivery, providing optimal aeration levels and even nutrient distribution in the root zone

  • ENVIRONMENT CONTROL

    Unique airflow containment design provides even air flow across the entire canopy with minimal space usage and low install cost. Deployment of hydronic systems for cooling instead of industry standard direct expansion systems provides significant energy savings.

  • FARM MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE

    RadicleOS is a management system developed by Vertico that integrates production, inventory, farm, and order management together, optimizing farm operations and maintaining precise growing conditions.

  • GROW PANELS & CARRIERS

    Proprietary stacking design simplifies automation, reduces processing space, and maximizes vertical growing area. Allows system to use only one structural level to exploit vertical space, reducing infrastructure requirements.

  • OVERHEAD FIFO CONVOYER

    Removes need for permanent access space in growing areas, significantly increasing plant density in a facility. The first system in the world to allow daily maintenance and cleaning to any part of the system without stopping production, increasing system longevity.
