Revol Greens, a greenhouse lettuce grower, has chosen IUNU as its technology partner to deliver a fully integrated approach of artificial intelligence, digital solutions, and automation at scale to meet rising consumer demand for greenhouse-grown leafy greens. IUNU’s LUNA Platform helps greenhouse operators drive higher yields and produce better crops. Revol Greens has chosen to deploy IUNU’s artificial intelligence and computer vision system, LUNA AI, to automate operations and steer better crop performance at scale, along with its cultivation management platform, LUNA CMP which is designed to digitize production operations for maximum efficiency across multiple sites. This is only the first step of a strategy to shift toward AI-driven operations and develop new areas of AI-led innovation. The continuous automated phenotyping, combined with a rigorous germplasm assessment, along with the application of the latest in sensor technology and data analytics, is expected to accelerate new CEA-grown crop launches. This will further expand the range of CEA-adapted crops and help alleviate some of the major supply chain challenges faced by field-grown produce. The partnership is also anticipated to expand the focus of the CEA grower from higher productivity and longer shelf life to delivering healthier and more nutritious fresh produce to the masses. Revol says this partnership is only the first step of a strategy to shift toward AI-driven operations and to develop new areas of AI-led innovation. “With LUNA AI and CMP, our staff is positioned to help scale up our business and is enabled to continuously learn and innovate improved growing recipes for existing and new crop launches,” said Mohammed Oufattole, Revol Greens CTO. “Our plant and data scientists have the tools to uncover detailed insights that will further enhance our capabilities and help deepen our competitive moat. We know the importance of implementing technology like LUNA, and as we continue to plan further expansion, this will put our plants in the driver’s seat.”
LUNA AI combines software with high-definition fixed and mobile cameras and environmental sensors to keep track of the minutiae of plant growth and health indicators in indoor agriculture settings. This turns commercial greenhouses into precise, predictable, demand-based manufacturers that optimize yield, labor, and product quality. Revol Greens operates greenhouses in Minnesota, California, Georgia, and Texas and currently reaches more than one-third of the country’s population within 24 hours of harvest. The platform will enable organic supply chain improvements across all locations through a combination of improved crop output and quality. “Revol Greens is a fantastic operator and maintains high product quality and food safety standards for all facilities. Our platform enables them to continue expanding across the United States and continue producing the highest quality and most sustainable products possible,” said Adam Greenberg, chief executive officer of IUNU.

Revol Greens Pioneers in Selecting IUNU as Advanced Technology Partner to Drive Higher Yield, Sustainable Greenhouse Lettuce at Scale

Lewis & Clark Leads $24M Series B for IUNU
March 22, 2022
By Lynda Kiernan-Stone, Global AgInvesting Media
On a global scale, the world has lost a third of its arable land over the past 40 years to the effects of pollution or erosion at a rate that far outpaces the natural rate of soil replacement, according to a team at the Grantham Center for Sustainable Futures at the University of Sheffield. The processes of agricultural production and heavy-handed use of fertilizers has eroded our soils at a pace that is 100 times faster than it is able to be naturally formed. However, when considering solutions, Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) (once overlooked as a viable alternative to the growing issue of providing food for an ever-populous world) has gained steady traction, especially since COVID-19 has highlighted the vulnerability of current ag supply chains. CEA, however, is not without its challenges. Commercial greenhouse operators have a lot of irons in the fire, needing to balance a wide range of conditions such as temperature, humidity, crop diseases, and pests, for example, while also needing to produce a large, uniformly standard crop of fresh produce for buyers who await a future harvest. In reality, it’s not uncommon  for commercial greenhouse production facilities to see crop losses of 10- 25 percent due to inconsistencies, poor visibility, inaccurate data, human error, and inefficiency related to manual data collection. Under the terms of the round, Suhas Narayanaswamy, principal, Lewis and Clark AgriFood, will be given a seat on the IUNU board of directors. Founded in 2013 with a headquarters in Seattle, Washington, IUNU is working to develop the future of CEA and close the loop on greenhouse autonomy. The company’s LUNA platform connects producers, managers, facilities, and plants on one interface. By scanning entire greenhouse operations, LUNA is able to collect extremely granular data on every aspect of the growing process, including real-time growth rates and data on the health of each plant. “Greenhouse and vertical farming solve critical issues around food security, food safety and scarcity,” said Cristina Rohr, managing director, S2G Ventures. “IUNU’s technology brings incredible efficiency gains to indoor farming and is providing the foundation for data-driven indoor growing operations going forward.”
The company made its debut in the leafy greens market, and today, as the CEA market is experiencing unprecedented growth, IUNU has more than a 25 percent share of the North American CEA market, and 74 percent of the top leafy greens greenhouse growers in North America running on LUNA. This customer base includes some of the largest CEA operations in the world such as Pure Green Farms, Hollandia Produce, CubicFarm Systems, the Red Hat Co-operative, Jamco Growers, and Intelligent Growth Solutions. “The CEA market has finally come to a point of proven expansion and we’re honored to be trusted by commercial operators who run their businesses on the LUNA Platform,” said Allison Kopf, chief marketing officer and head of data products, IUNU. “This investment will be used to continue fueling our growth as we become the largest advanced technology company in the CEA industry.”
As demand for its solutions continues to climb, IUNU has hundreds of robots already deployed, and 500 more scheduled for deployment this year – more than any other company in its segment. This growth has seen the company expand its team by 50 percent over the past six months, undertake a brand re-fresh, and recently complete two acquisitions of leading companies in the space: Artemis and CropWalk. “IUNU has an unmatchable stack of comprehensive product offerings that have been built and refined since 2013 making them the technology of choice for greenhouse and vertical farming operations,” said Suhas Narayanaswamy, principal, Lewis and Clark AgriFood. “We are thrilled to be part of a company that is enabling the world’s largest CEA companies to be more efficient and ultimately enable consumers to access better quality fresh produce.”
The company has stated that the capital from this round will be used to further its strategic growth plans and market presence, with a specific focus on the expansion of global sales and new production introductions. “This round of investment reflects the confidence institutional investors have in us,” said Adam Greenberg, CEO, IUNU. “The conversation around autonomous growing has accelerated in the past year, and we’re proud to be leading the way on this front. We couldn’t be more excited to add Lewis and Clark as a partner and to have our existing investors continue growing with us.”
