Software
Laava Application
Android and iOS Apps available in AppStore and Google Play store.

The apps manage Laava systems via a widget structure. The widgets are created in Laava cloud and connected to specific interfaces of NG system or RTSP stream service.

Dark and light themes available.
Laava Cloud
Laava cloud is a web application designed to unite all Laava products in one synergetic ecosystem.

Through cloud its possible to access any Laava device interface and to monitor its state, together with managing outputs and changing local settings.

You can also manage user accounts through Laava cloud and check any user logs.
Hardware
IDS
Controller
Laava controller is a cloud-based automation device, which acts as a bridge between the industrial devices and the cloud.

It features a secure MQTT connection to cloud or on-premise systems. It can be integrated with external systems depending on user needs. It comes with onboard MODBUS connection, and it can be set to work with OPCUa. Option of Wi-Fi or 4G connection.

While its main application area is indoor farming, it can be used as lighting control, for industrial data analytics, or as cloud endpoint.

The controller stands out with its cloud data analytics and data processing features, connectivity, as well as scalability.

Can be supplied in a form of a PCB or with din-rail mounted housing with magnet fixation. The backlit logo indicates the current status of connection or alarms.

Extension Module
16 discrete inputs
16 universal outputs(discrete/PWM/0-10V)
3 x 1-wire bus
2 separate RS486 bus(Modbus RTU)

The extension module is equipped with separate STM32, so it has its own 128 functions per device.

It communicates through Modbus RTU, and can be supplied separately as PCB or in a din-rail mounted enclosure with magnet fixation.
Dimmer
The Dimmer is a transistor assembly with power of 15A per channel, used to dimm LED lights or LED strips using Pulse Width Modulation.

Each dimmer is equipped with 4 separate independent channels, controlled over RS485 (Modbus RTU).

The Dimmer has its own unique widget in the dimmer interface, that is switchable between the modes of 4 separate PWM channels or RGB/RGBW mode, where your installer can connect red, green, blue and white channels of LED strip and then directly manage color as needed.
IDS
The ID PCB is mounted behind any dry contact switcher, and sends its own unique address in a bus when dry contact is closed.

IDs are supplied in the form of four connected PCBs, which can be manually separated. Two wires that are hard-welded to a PCB are connected to a switcher and bus wires are connected to a terminal block.
Control panel
A unique control panel in a metal enclosure. It can be used for any automation system as an electric panel.

It is possible thanks to a two-layer design, where the internal part holds all relays and automatic switches, and the movable front part holds all PCBs, batteries, a power supply, and an optional sensor display.

The Laava Panel is equipped with laconic glass door, which makes it a perfect fit to any interior as a design element.

The Laava Panel is designed for optimal space management - it can hold equipment equal to 300 din modules in measurements of 900x500x150 mm.

Premifarm technology
Premifarm farms are based on Laava automation, but while Laava offers an industrial solution, Premifarm is designed for a wide range of consumer needs. Premifarm products enable anyone to grow any plant without expert knowledge of the process, while consuming a minimal amount of energy at 27 kilowatts per hour. At average European tariffs, this consumption will cost you approximately 5 euros per month. Premifarm doesn’t need soil (it’s an aeroponics-based solution) and only a small amount of water (consumption is from 10 to 15 liters of water per month). There are currently 120+ plant species available for Premifarm farms.

Premifarm can be used in restaurants, educational institutions, offices, and even at home. You will always have fresh herbs available, for lower cost compared to produce in stores, and you can be certain of the quality of the product. It is a much more environmentally friendly way to produce food, because you use less energy, and eliminate the need for packaging and shipping (just think about how much excess plastic is produced for food packaging and how much is thrown away every day).

Premifarm farms are used in schools: children can observe, learn, and enjoy the process of growing healthy and tasty plants.

" We are a company striving to continuously improve our technology and production efficiency to improve the environment, social responsibility, and human health. Indoor farming is a continuous and fast evolving and innovating field. We see Laava Tech's fundamentally new approach to data-supported lighting and thus optimisation of food growth and energy consumption in indoor farming as a potentially critical new contribution to the output and sustainability of the industry.

Laava Tech's drop-in solution allows for the fast adoption of the technology and thus rapid savings in line with increased production."
W N Wang
Director, Chief Technology Advisor YesHealth Agri-biotechnology Co, Ltd.
“Laava Tech has a unique technology to reduce energy consumption in indoor farming and the Laava team showed great aptitude pursue their endeavor, reach milestones and valorize their technology. During their attendance to EIT program, Laava team established a cooperation with Technion to further boost their capacity and improve their technology. For example, Laava collaborated with the Technion computer science department to build a part of AI solution.

The outcomes of the project satisfied both parties and may well persist into the future.“
Dr. Avital Regev Siman-Tov
EIT - FAN Israel Director
“LEDs in vertical farming and hydroponics are the most crucial element for having an efficient growing system: a breakthrough innovation on the grow lighting side is exactly what will make the difference between vertical farming being an emerging tech and shaping the food production of the future (which by the way, it’s also Wallfarm’s vision).“
Ares Ferrigni
CEO of Wallfarm
“ We are very pleased that we with Premifarm have the opportunity to easily and quickly grow greens for our dishes.

Now we always have fresh plants and we can be sure in their quality.

Premifarm also fits perfectly into our interior and is extremely attractive to visitors. “

“ Premifarm is now an integral part of our biology lessons.

Children study the processes of plant growth, play around with the settings for the best harvest, and experiment with different types of plants.It is very important that children see that nowadays there is an opportunity to optimize all processes by combining nature and digitalization.

Older grades study automation and how the application works. Important benefit for everyone - nutritious food every day. “
21st School of Tallinn
Administration of the 21st School
“Manna Insect Oy strongly believes in the potential of Laava Tech’s product considering that growing insect protein and making mating of insects more efficient is highly dependent on a very precise lighting recipes.“

Let's change the world
Food is inherently impactful; we must engage with it every day, it impacts our communities and how we come together, for example to enjoy a meal. We believe that if you want to get to social impact and environmental change, food and agriculture provide a tremendous way to do that.

To make sure there is enough safe, healthy and affordable food, we need to make significant changes to our food system. People want food that is good for them and the planet. Perhaps most importantly, people all around the world want food that tastes good.

At Laava Tech we are creating a solution that helps agriculture give back more than it takes, both to people and to our planet.
