Artisan Green and Siemens accelerate indoor food production in Singapore

Singapore has embarked on a visionary path to build up the agri-food industry’s capability and capacity to sustainably produce 30% of our nutritional needs by 2030. This ambitious goal also features in the Singapore Green Plan 2030,

Artisan Green and Siemens aim to accelerate the transformation of sustainable food production in Singapore through this collaboration. By leveraging Siemens’ technology and expertise in automation and digitalization, Artisan Green’s indoor farms will be equipped with a modern and integrated farm management system that optimizes resource efficiency and minimizes environmental impact.

In addition to the environmental benefits, indoor farming offers numerous advantages over conventional agriculture. By growing crops vertically in controlled environments, Artisan Green’s indoor farms maximize land use efficiency, allowing for higher crop yields and reducing the need for pesticides and herbicides. This approach also eliminates the risk of soil erosion and contamination, ensuring the production of safe and nutritious food.

Technology Integration for Sustainable Farming

Artisan Green’s indoor farms will be equipped with Siemens’ technology, including:

• SIMATIC S7-1500 for optimum control of process and growing parameters
• SIMATIC ET 200SP with Dali module for a granular adjustment of lighting intensity
• Energy Manager for transparency and optimization of energy consumption
• WinCC V8 and PM-Control to develop Overall Farm Management System including recipe control system for choosing the right cultivation program for individual crops
