#Microclimates Gives Growers The Technology They Need
By Jax Marrott, Customer Experience Manager | 5.8.2025
In today’s rapidly evolving agricultural landscape, technology isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. As growers face increasing pressure to boost yields, cut costs, and embrace sustainability, the right tools can make all the difference. At Microclimates, we understand what growers need most because we’ve listened closely to what the industry is saying. Based on the 2024 Global CEA Census, growers have clearly ranked their top technology feature preferences—and we’re proud to deliver on all of them.
1. Energy Efficiency
Energy efficiency stands at the forefront of growers’ priorities, and Microclimates addresses this need through our advanced Energy Monitoring Application. Our platform empowers growers to monitor and control energy consumption across various systems, including lighting, HVAC, and irrigation, in real-time. By providing detailed insights into energy usage patterns, growers can make informed decisions to optimize operations, reduce costs, and enhance sustainability.
2. Remote Monitoring and Control
In an industry where timing and precision are everything, being able to monitor and control systems remotely is a game-changer. Microclimates offers a robust edge (on-site) platform that allows growers to track and manage every aspect of their growing environment from wherever they are. Need to adjust CO2 levels, fine-tune irrigation, or respond to a temperature spike? It’s all at your fingertips – 24/7, from any device – and you can even set up alerts for any sensor card for peace of mind when you are on-the-go.
3. Integration with IoT
We believe in open systems that talk to each other. Microclimates supports over 150+ integration-and growing-connecting IoT devices including sensors, cameras, and automated equipment. Our platform aggregates data in real-time and ensures that all connected devices operate in harmony. All your devices can communicate and react to each other via our card based interface, ensuring that all moving parts of your operation are optimized for success.

4. Data Analytics and Reporting
Data isn’t just for scientists—it’s for every grower. Microclimates provides intuitive dashboards and detailed reports that help growers turn raw numbers into actionable insights. Want to know how a recent change impacted humidity levels or VPD? Our insights tool gives you the answers, supporting smarter, faster decisions. You own the data, which is securely stored on your edge device for up to 5 years.
5. Scalable Solutions
Whether you’re just getting started or expanding into multiple sites, Microclimates grows with you. Our systems are designed to be modular and flexible, ensuring you never outgrow your tech infrastructure. As your needs evolve, you can add new zones, devices, or automation layers without starting from scratch. We’re also leaders in developing software that meets the real-world demands of your operation—adapting to your workflows, not the other way around.
6. Compatibility with Existing Systems
We know many growers already have systems in place. That’s why Microclimates is built for compatibility. Our team helps you integrate your existing setup into Microclimates—so all your systems work together seamlessly, minimizing disruption and maximizing ROI from day one.
At Microclimates, we’re more than a tech provider—we’re a partner in your success. From energy savings to data intelligence, our solutions are tailored to meet the real-world needs of today’s growers. If you’re looking for smart, scalable, and sustainable technology that aligns with the industry’s top priorities, Microclimates has you covered.
