“The companies that win aren’t just automated—they’re automation is repeatable, maintainable and scalable by design.”
Many growing operations invest heavily in custom automation—building hardware, software, dashboards, and cloud infrastructure from scratch. But this approach is slow, expensive, and hard to replicate. Projects often take 6–12 months per site, cost $50K to $150K+, and require ongoing support from developers and integrators.
Advanced Autoponics offers a faster, more scalable solution. We deliver a complete automation platform: industrial-grade hardware, configurable control logic, built-in sensor support, and seamless interfaces through Geminy UI and Geminy Cloud. Designed for production environments, it gets you live in weeks—not quarters—while simplifying deployment, scaling, and support.

Traditional Development vs. Advanced Autoponics
Investment Area | Custom Hardware & Software | Advanced Autoponics Platform |
Time to Deployment | 6–12 months | 1–3 weeks for a total solution that works across multiple sites for your grow |
Total Cost Per Site | $50K–$150K+ (plus maintenance) | $10K–$20K + small monthly Geminy Cloud fee (optional) |
Hardware Engineering | Custom PCB, firmware, hardware integration | Time-tested modular controller—field-proven and ready to deploy |
Control Logic | Custom code requiring dedicated developers | Configurable automation—flexible, changeable anytime |
Cloud Connectivity | Requires custom APIs, servers, and DevOps | Geminy Cloud—real-time data, alerts, and remote visibility |
UI / Dashboards | SCADA or custom dashboard development | Geminy UI—customizable, white-label ready, deployable instantly |
Sensor Integration | Custom interfaces and configuration | Comes with pH, EC, temperature sensors and dosing control |
Scaling Across Sites | Rebuild or reconfigure per location | Replicable model—deploy once, scale across 10 to 1,000+ sites |
Ongoing Maintenance | Requires internal dev team or external integrators | Maintainable by in-house electricians or automation techs |
