“The companies that win aren’t just automated—they’re automation is repeatable, maintainable and scalable by design.”
Many growing operations invest heavily in custom automation. This includes building hardware, software, dashboards, and cloud infrastructure from scratch. However, this approach is often slow and costly. Projects typically take 6–12 months per site and can cost between $50K to $150K+. Additionally, they require ongoing support from developers and integrators.
Advanced Autoponics offers a faster, more scalable solution. We provide a complete automation platform, including industrial-grade hardware, configurable control logic, built-in sensor support, and seamless interfaces through Geminy UI and Geminy Cloud. Designed specifically for production environments, our system enables you to go live in weeks—not quarters. It simplifies deployment, scaling, and support.
Understanding the ROI of Automation
At-a-Glance ROI for Custom Automation
Traditional Build | Advanced Autoponics | |
Time to Dev and Deploy | 6–12 months | 1–3 weeks |
Cost per Location | $100K+ avg. | $10K–$20K |
Integration Effort | High (multiple vendors) | One unified platform |
Support Needed | Ongoing dev involvement | Handled by in-house teams |
Traditional Development vs. Advanced Autoponics
Others | Advanced Autoponics Platform | |
Time to Deployment | 6–12 months | 1–3 weeks |
Total Cost Per Site | $50K–$150K+ (plus maintenance) | $10K–$20K + small monthly Geminy Cloud fee (optional) |
Hardware Engineering | Custom PCB, firmware, hardware integration | Time-tested modular controller—field-proven and ready to deploy |
Control Logic | Custom code requiring dedicated developers | Configurable automation—flexible and changeable anytime |
Cloud Connectivity | Requires custom APIs, servers, and DevOps | Geminy Cloud—real-time data, alerts, and remote visibility |
UI / Dashboards | Apps or UI that doesn't match the layout or requires custom dashboard development | Geminy UI—customizable and deployable instantly |
Sensor Integration | Custom interfaces and configuration | Comes with pH, EC, temperature sensors and dosing control |
Scaling Across Sites | Rebuild or reconfigure per location | Replicable model—deploy once, scale across 10 to 1,000+ sites |
Ongoing Maintenance | Requires internal dev team or external integrators | Maintainable by in-house electricians or automation techs |
