The LUNA system surpassed one billion square feet of greenhouse analysis in 2019

US-based iUNU, an industrial computer vision company providing precision agriculture solutions to indoor growers, has raised $7 million in an oversubscribed Series A financing led by S2G Ventures and Ceres Partners.

iUNU is transforming the way indoor growers do business by harnessing the power of computer vision through its product offering, LUNA.  The LUNA platform delivers a system of mobile and fixed cameras with high-definition imaging and environmental sensors that measure and record everything down to the real-time growth rate of each plant.  The software combines computer vision and machine learning technologies to continuously build detailed models of individual plants, unique among millions, throughout the day.  LUNA detects even the most minute changes in health of individual plants, giving growers the precise knowledge, they need for proactive management. LUNA uses this insight to drive margin for growers through crop monitoring/forecasting, space utilization, and labor planning – while giving increased pricing leverage to the sales team.

The LUNA system surpassed one billion square feet of greenhouse analysis in 2019.  As a result, achieving and desired outcomes for customers has become both more precise and faster.  The LUNA system has the most extensive knowledge from imaging on the market.  While each grower using the LUNA platform owns their own imagery, the constant growth of the volume of imaging drives the machine learning and value the system provides.  LUNA learns from reading imagery, just as people do from reading a book, providing an immeasurable depth of experience and knowledge to LUNA’s customers.
