A Vision for Vertical Farming
Advancements in technologies will continue to push the horticultural industry forward and further expand its reach . The future is bright for growers and Pipp sees tremendous growth ahead rooted in what indoor cultivation will mean to families , cities , and the world . Vertical farming maximizes production , reduces operating costs , and increases overall revenue per square foot by as much as three times . “ People will be accessing and consuming fresher and healthier foods , while new employment opportunities will present in major cities previously unable to cultivate locally ,” says Pipp ’ s sales team . “ The possibilities are limitless , and we are humbled to have a place in it all .” When it comes to vertical farming there have always been two primary dilemmas : rails on the floor and servicing upper levels . To address these high demand concerns , Pipp designed a new track free carriage system as well as a mobile elevated platform . “ We see horticulture , indoor cultivation and processing , specifically , as the future for our organization and we are committed to hitting the ball out of the park for our customers , suppliers , employees and all who we serve .”
Pipp ’ s TRAK-FREE Carriage System leaves a smooth surface with no bumps or barriers to maneuver over between racking rows while the company ’ s ELEVATE Platform System enables cultivators to walk freely along upper grow levels without being hindered by rolling ladders or scaffolding . All Pipp rails are thoughtfully designed and meet ADA compliance standards . The sales management team says the company won ’ t release a product or product feature without extensive factory and client beta site testing . Although Pipp ’ s entry point into the horticultural industry was through the cannabis market , the company didn ’ t want to limit Pipp Horticulture to any specific cultivation or plant processing category . Instead , the company looks forward to building and developing solutions for all growers .
Green By Nature
The cubic space utilization of Pipp mobile systems is , by nature , a greenfriendly phenomena . Less space , electricity , lighting , water , gas and other critical resources are needed due to the efficient use of space . “ Pipp is committed to being a green friendly supplier in the horticulture space ,” says the sales team . The company ’ s recycled content for steel
and aluminum products is an industryleading 66 percent while the majority of its packaging materials come from recycled materials . Additionally , Pipp Horticulture offers LEED certification assistance to each and every customer . With hundreds of projects on the go and completed installations under its belt , Pipp ’ s knowledge base only continues to grow . The company ’ s in-house team now includes professional engineers , CAD designers , sales support , and experienced operators to provide partners with outstanding support before and after installation . “ This is not a micromanaging culture , but rather a highly committed team that respects one another and understands that our individual performances affect and benefit the group , including our customers , as a whole ,” says the sales team . “ We are dealing with and affecting a living product that moves to its own schedule , not ours . Because of this , our performance is essential , and we take that responsibility very seriously .”
Stay tuned as Pipp Horticulture continues to enhance its current offering and create new products to improve plant health , operational efficiencies , and environmental benefits for cultivation facilities worldwide .
