Pure Green Farms Chooses iUNU’s LUNA Platform to Advance Automation and AI

Industry News

SOUTH BEND, Indiana —Pure Green Farms is a greenhouse operator  growing leafy greens in South Bend, Indiana. They recently received investment from Taylor  Farms, the leading North American producer of salads and healthy fresh foods with over 122,200  acres of field grown products and 16 salad producing facilities across North America.  

Pure Green Farms operates one of the most efficient, automated greenhouse systems and selected  iUNU to provide artificial intelligence and computer vision technology to automate operations  and steer better crop performance at scale. iUNU’s LUNA Platform provides growers the most  advanced horticultural technology on the market and helps greenhouse operators drive higher  yields and produce better crops.  

Growers at Pure Green Farms have already begun utilizing components of LUNA such as Time  Travel to improve crop health. In one instance, growers in South Bend collaborated with iUNU  remotely through LUNA to identify issues in the facility and take immediate action based on  actionable data and in-field observations. LUNA helps growers scout remotely and Time Travel  allows growers and crop consultants to go back in time to see every plant at any point in time.  This ensures there is no ambiguity as to when issues arise and what happened in the past to  correctly root cause. 

“With LUNA, I can get best-in-class experts from across the globe looking at our crops all at  once. This means instant collaboration and better results. The team at iUNU has been incredible  to work with already and this is just the beginning. I believe in the future of AI. LUNA is going  to get us there as we continue to scale the functionality in our facility,” said Joe McGuire, CEO  of Pure Green Farms. 

Pure Green Farms uses innovative technology and proprietary data to grow high quality produce  that consumers can trust. With LUNA, Pure Green Farms gives comfort to retailers with visual  plant provenance, establishing a high bar of safety for its products. “Today, LUNA is our system  of record and we’re excited to continue adding automation and AI on top of this as we  continuously roll out more functionality,” continued McGuire.  

“The results of our collaboration show what can be done when innovative producers, established  growers, and cutting-edge technology companies focus on what really matters – your crops. 

iUNU is focused on using our products, like LUNA, to deliver constant value to growers, and  this is a great example of the benefits growers get when they implement LUNA,” said Adam  Greenberg, CEO of iUNU.
