Technology
For a model to learn, the conditions have to be reproducible. N.THING builds environments where light, temperature, humidity, CO₂ and nutrients are all under control, and uses the data that comes out of them to set the next cycle.
01N.FARM.AI
N.FARM.AI started as IoT climate control. It now handles yield forecasting, dispatch planning and transaction settlement as a farm management platform. Sensor telemetry, per-cycle growth records and harvest performance land in one place, and every farm decides against the same metrics rather than scattered spreadsheets.
Data the platform draws on
Used alongside current conditions and forecasts
Supports route-to-market and supply contracts
Nationwide wholesale price tracking
02Data
A cycle that runs once or twice a year in an open field runs twelve times in a controlled vertical farm. The 1,767 cycles N.THING has accumulated equate to 1,767 years at open-field cadence — and still over 750 years in a greenhouse.
≈ 1,767 open-field years
At 2–3 cycles a year

Environmental control
Conditions held to spec
Model training
Pattern analysis and prediction
Grow programme
Setpoints for the next cycle
03Automation
Nursery tray transport, cultivation bed circulation, post-harvest packing and dispatch run as one logistics line. Operators spend their time on quality judgement and exceptions rather than repetitive handling.
Seeding and nursery
Automated tray seeding, then uniform conditions through the nursery zone
Transplant and grow
Beds move by growth stage so planting density stays optimal
Harvest
Cut zone by zone, on the date the growth forecast specifies
Pack and dispatch
Packed the day it is cut and shipped on the cold chain
Farm Safety System
In a farm that runs unattended, the real risk is what happens when nobody is there. The equipment is designed to detect and respond on its own.
04Green Bio
A controlled environment is not only for salad. Change the cultivation recipe and the same equipment grows fruiting crops, root vegetables, and bio crops used as pharmaceutical feedstock.
Cultivation recipe categories
Strawberry
A strawberry facility that produces year-round regardless of outside conditions. No soil, and fruit sets without pollinator bees.
Clean seedling
A nursery solution that mass-produces pathogen-free seedlings for strawberry growers. Won and delivered for the RDA National Institute of Horticultural Science in 2025.
Plant-based vaccine
A research facility built inside the KT&G Research Institute in Daejeon, growing tobacco leaf and ginseng for protein extraction used in plant-based vaccine development.
Medical hemp
Under the Andong regulatory free zone sandbox, we are researching medical hemp cultivation and compound use with Seoul National University’s industry-academic foundation and technology holdings company.
These programmes sit at different stages, from research and demonstration through to commercial supply. We brief on each individually.
