アイ・エム・エー Company Profile

We aim for full automation of plant factories with a rotating tower-type cultivation system.

We believe that the future of plant factories suitable for climate change will be a hybrid system that combines sunlight and artificial light. Many flat multi-layer plant factories are struggling to operate under the pressures of rising electricity costs, labor shortages, increasing minimum wages, and rising raw material and transportation costs. However, we cannot reduce the time of LED lights. Reducing photosynthesis promotion directly leads to poor growth, which affects the selling price and directly results in decreased sales. Our rotating tower type system allows multiple plants to share fixed LED lights, making it a low-cost and efficient cultivation method that requires fewer LED lights. In family restaurants, serving robots are actively used primarily to reduce labor costs, and this method can also be applied to the rotating tower cultivation system, enabling the automation of plant factories through improvements. We will continue to pursue broad technical support and joint development to promote vertical automation systems. We are seeking the participation of partner companies.
