The Philips GrowWise Control System offers growers complete control over their horticultural lighting, enabling precise and dynamic light management tailored to the needs of specific crops and cultivation environments. Designed for use in greenhouses, vertical farms, and research facilities, this advanced system allows users to create custom light recipes down to the μmol level. By adjusting spectral composition, intensity, and timing, growers can optimize crop yield, quality, and predictability throughout all growth phases. With seamless integration into existing climate control systems, GrowWise enhances overall energy management and operational efficiency.
The system’s versatility lies in its ability to offer both wired and wireless connectivity, eliminating the need for additional cables while simplifying installation and scalability. Whether you're managing a vertical farm or a large greenhouse, the GrowWise Control System makes it easy to program lighting schedules for different crop zones or layers across your facility. Recipes can be configured to run on a 24-hour clock over phases that span up to a full year, and adjustments can be made effortlessly using a PC, tablet, or smartphone. Light zones and groups can be individually managed, allowing for highly targeted control within a single location.
One of the standout features of the system is its color controllability, allowing growers to blend red, blue, green, and far-red light to influence plant morphology and behavior. This includes aspects such as branching, flowering, compactness, and color intensity. Through intelligent recipe design, growers can meet the unique requirements of various plant species and optimize outcomes during specific stages like propagation, vegetative growth, and flowering.
The GrowWise Control System is developed to be modular and scalable, meaning it evolves with your business. Whether you are starting small or expanding over time, the system can grow alongside your needs. From the very beginning, Philips provides expert support through a detailed intake assessment. Specialists evaluate your technical infrastructure and layout—whether it requires wired or wireless communication—and recommend the optimal setup. Once installed, comprehensive training ensures that you and your team are equipped to use every feature of the system effectively.
GrowWise also includes remote support capabilities, eliminating delays caused by on-site service requirements. You can reach out to a service expert for troubleshooting or adjustments without waiting for physical visits, minimizing downtime and maintaining productivity.
Ultimately, the Philips GrowWise Control System delivers the right light, at the right time, in the right place, empowering growers to achieve better business outcomes, energy efficiency, and crop consistency. By enabling the creation of flexible, crop-specific light strategies with seamless integration and remote manageability, it represents a forward-thinking solution for modern horticultural operations.
