Vaerens Presents
LUMA PRO
Artificial intelligence powered insights based on objective data offering a grounded basis for making crucial decisions about crop lighting investment.
Who are we
We are on a mission to drive artificial intelligence and big data solutions
into the hands of
horticulture experts across the globe
Our entire business revolves around cost-effective data farming. Developing algorithms both to facilitate and utilise plant growth data aquisition.
Vaerens optimisation algorithms are capable of efficiently exploring uncommon growth conditions and providing new insights into innovative lighting conditions.
With an endless variety of crops and cultivars, each have different technical decisions making processes.
Predictions are driven by unbiased data; providing an objective component in the process of cultivation decision making.
An architecture designed and created by a team of leading industry product engineers; unlimited scalability is one of our core design principles.
Our tooling enables us to do quick comparisons of lighting condition effects on crop development.
We are an AI first technology startup. This means all our products are designed from the start to maximize artificial intelligence implementation.
Because we are focused on big data instead of qualitative research, we are able to create data in a scalable manner at a different pace compared to research institutes.
Luma PRO services offer horticulture experts freedom from constrained decision making: establishing a standard in available data; without the high cost of customised research or commercial bias.

Data farming
In collaboration with farmers and horticultural engineers, Vaerens grows crops indoors under strictly controlled conditions
Imaging and sensory data is harvested from the crops; deep learning analysis is then applied
Iterations of data farming cycles are optimised by an artificial intelligence driven tuning strategy
The harvested data is used to train artificial intelligence models to make predictions about optimised growth conditions
Traditional symbolic programming alone has its limits in its ability to handle a high degree of complexity that comes with growing crops in a controlled environment. Artificial intelligence offers the opportunity to create new solutions for crop cultivation where we use algorithms to analyse and manage the complexity of biological systems.
Vaerens as a startup is specialised to approach horticulture from a perspective of artificial intelligence and cloud computing. Our team is on a mission to build a company that creates new sustainable agriculture technologies on the intersection of data science, computer science and biology. Key characteristics for our designs are scalability and commercial viability.
We embrace collaboration as the hallmark of progress and innovation;
in that spirit
we are open to
any suggestion, question and ideas for collaboration you might have.
