Research driven. Patented innovation.

Every environment presents different challenges. Research turns those challenges into better technology.

Light measurement equipment in the Airlux research and development lab

Our R&D begins with understanding the conditions an environment needs to maintain and the factors that influence its performance. Temperature, humidity, airflow, light and control are evaluated as interconnected elements rather than isolated technologies.

These insights guide the development of solutions that are efficient, reliable and adaptable. By connecting research with practical engineering, we create technology that responds to real operational requirements.

One Research Lab. Three Technologies.

Control. Climate. Lighting. Engineered to work as one.

A controlled environment performs best when its technologies work together. Our R&D brings Control, Climate and Lighting into one integrated development process, examining how each influences the performance of the others.

From climate stability and energy efficiency to light distribution and intelligent automation, research focuses on optimising the complete environment rather than individual components.

This integrated approach creates a strong foundation for scalable technology that can be configured to meet different operational requirements.

Proven technology. Configured for different environments.

Our R&D focuses on developing technologies that combine standardised engineering with the flexibility to meet different application requirements.

By creating adaptable technology platforms, we reduce the need for project-specific development while maintaining the ability to configure systems for different environments, capacities and operating conditions.

This approach supports consistent performance, efficient engineering and long-term scalability without compromising application-specific requirements. It also provides the foundation for continuous innovation and patented technologies.

Our patents reflect the knowledge and engineering expertise behind our technology platform. By developing and protecting unique technological solutions, we turn research into practical innovations that improve performance, efficiency and reliability. These innovations become part of our standardised technology platform, creating lasting value across multiple applications.

Patented innovation
Knowledge becomes technology. Technology becomes performance.

Our R&D transforms research into patented technologies that improve performance, efficiency and reliability. Every innovation is engineered, tested and validated in real-world conditions, ensuring proven technology that continuously evolves through practical experience.

Directional air distribution

SectorJet™

Conventional air distribution can leave parts of a room under-conditioned, with warm spots, stagnant zones and uneven humidity that affect crop uniformity and mould pressure. SectorJet™ directs the airflow across the full cultivation or drying space, so conditions are more even from wall to wall.

  • Fewer dead zones
  • More uniform room climate
  • Consistent crop quality

Grow-phase logic

ClimaFlow 3X™

Fixed climate settings do not match the changing needs of propagation, vegetative growth, flowering or drying. ClimaFlow 3X™ adapts the system behaviour to each phase, keeping the climate strategy aligned with the crop or product stage from start to finish.

  • Adapts to each phase
  • Fewer manual adjustments
  • Consistent results

Intelligent dehumidification

HyperDR-AI™

Dehumidifying in hard on-off cycles causes humidity swings, temperature changes and energy peaks, especially when transpiration or drying loads change. HyperDR-AI™ matches moisture removal to real-time demand, keeping relative humidity stable.

  • Stable RH control
  • Fewer energy peaks
  • Follows the actual load

Airflow precision

AERO-S™

Even with enough capacity, an unsuited airflow strategy can leave zones with uneven air movement and weak canopy penetration. AERO-S™ optimises air throw and circulation across the room, improving climate uniformity where the crop needs it.

  • Canopy penetration
  • Optimised air throw
  • Stable circulation

Adaptive compressor control

A-SPEC™

Seasonal changes and shifting heat and humidity loads can move a system away from its optimal operating point. A-SPEC™ adapts the system behaviour to the actual operating conditions, throughout the year.

  • Adapts to the season
  • Stable under changing loads
  • Efficient operation

Energy recovery

RE-ACT™

Cooling and dehumidification release heat that often goes unused. RE-ACT™ recovers and reuses available heat within the climate process, lowering energy use and operating costs.

  • Reuses available heat
  • Lower operating costs
  • Higher overall efficiency

Variable capacity

Infinity DC Inverter

Fixed-capacity compressors run at full power until the setpoint is reached and then switch off, causing temperature swings, RH drift and wear. The DC inverter modulates compressor output to match the demand of the room.

  • Fewer on-off cycles
  • Stable room conditions
  • Efficient at part load

Spectrum control

PhytoVegSpec®

Spectral quality and intensity can be set for each growth phase, with a blue to red ratio from 1:1 to 1:6, programmable schedules, gradual sunrise and sunset, and far-red after the day ends.

  • Spectrum and intensity per growth phase
  • Blue to red from 1:1 to 1:6
  • Programmable schedules

Crop protection

Integrated ioniser

An ioniser with cold plasma technology is built into the fixture and releases ions close to the crop, where they reduce airborne pathogens. It can be set per room or switched off, and ozone stays below the detection limit.

  • Fewer airborne pathogens
  • Released close to the crop
  • No detectable ozone

Optics

Deep Penetration Lens

A high-transmittance lens with a wide 90° by 120° beam directs light deep into the canopy, so lower leaves also contribute to photosynthesis and light is spread evenly over the growing surface.

  • Deeper canopy penetration
  • Even light distribution
  • Wide 90° × 120° beam

Work light

Multi Color Light Pipe

Auxiliary RGB lighting in the fixture serves as a red, blue or green work or night light. A radar sensor switches it on when someone enters the room, without disturbing the day cycle.

  • Work light in red, blue or green
  • Switches on when someone enters
  • Does not disturb the day cycle

Optics for vertical farming

VertiLED lens design

A segmented PMMA lens with asymmetric secondary optics, mounted at an angle, spreads light evenly across the full width of the grow bed. The lens does not block UV-A and does not yellow over time.

  • Even light edge to edge
  • Does not block UV-A
  • Does not yellow

Spectrum add-ons

UV add-on optics

NIR and UV-A or UV-B add-ons extend the spectrum for specific crops and research. Dedicated optics and a compact reflector direct the added light where it is needed, and a radar sensor switches UV-B off when someone enters.

  • Extend the spectrum with NIR, UV-A or UV-B
  • Dedicated optics per add-on
  • UV-B switches off when someone enters

Standardised by design. Adaptable by nature.

By creating adaptable technology platforms, we reduce the need for project-specific development while maintaining the ability to configure systems for different environments, capacities and operating conditions.

This approach supports consistent performance, efficient engineering and long-term scalability without compromising application-specific requirements.

From climate stability and energy efficiency to light distribution and intelligent automation, research focuses on optimising the complete environment rather than individual components.

This integrated approach creates a strong foundation for scalable technology that can be configured to meet different operational requirements.

Innovation with a clear purpose.

Our ambition is to continuously advance the performance of controlled environments through research, engineering and practical innovation.

By developing our own technologies and working closely with customers and partners, we turn new insights into measurable improvements in control, efficiency and reliability.

Every development builds on what we have learned, creating technology that meets today’s requirements while remaining adaptable to tomorrow’s challenges.

Better technology.
