Agbotic Wins AgTech Breakthrough ‘Greenhouse Production System of the Year’
NEW YORK - August 25, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
Agbotic, the leader in SmartFarm automation, announced today its 2022 AgTech Breakthrough award for "Greenhouse Production System of the Year." AgTech Breakthrough is a leading market intelligence organization that annually selects the top companies, technologies and products in global agricultural and food markets. It performs the industry's most comprehensive analysis including AgTech Internet-of-Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) with more than 1,600 nominations from 15 countries in 2022.
Agbotic builds SmartFarms with a big data and deep learning model to grow year-round, local and organic crops with the industry's lowest food production costs and leading, regenerative climate footprint. The Company's patented automation and AI capabilities integrate with traditional farms and renewable energy SmartGrids with a tech stack that extends to outdoor farming.
Because Agbotic grows in soil, it can easily switch crop types to grow leafy greens; culinary and medicinal herbs; root crops; and long-cycle woody stem crops. Agbotic has successfully grown ginger, figs and inputs for plant-based beverages and personal care products. Agbotic uses precision machines to gather high resolution data for machine learning to achieve consistent gains in yields and lower production costs. In the past year, Agbotic has generated yield gains up to 100% across multiple crops and the production costs for a number of its crops are now competitive with outdoor, chemical farming.
"We are excited to win this AgTech Breakthrough award when news cycles are dominated by climate, inflation, food security and food prices. Our technology enables the production of local, secure, low-cost food while sequestering carbon and cleaning the air, water and soil," said John Gaus, a Founder at Agbotic. "Much of agriculture can be profitably distributed into community scale systems to reinvigorate rural economies; make lower cost and healthier food; draw down carbon; and clean the environment. Our decarbonized, denitrified, and digitized approach does just that. One day soon, every community will want a SmartFarm."
"The last two years serve to remind us that food security is paramount. Agbotic's model has put healthy food on hundreds of supermarket shelves and food distribution trucks across New York State. We expect it could do the same in many places with tremendous value to people and the planet." said Bryan Vaughn, Managing Director, AgTech Breakthrough. "We congratulate Agbotic on their important work and this award."

Maximize Performance of Nd:YAG Lasers with New Dual-Band Laser Optics from Edmund Optics®
TECHSPEC\u00ae Dual Band Laser Line Mirrors
TECHSPEC\u00ae Dual Band Laser Line Mirrors feature high reflectivity, excellent surface quality, and precision surface flatness to minimize scattering effects.
Edmund Optics®, a leading global manufacturer and supplier of optical components, has just introduced new dual-band laser mirrors and windows for Nd:YAG lasers using visible guide beams. Because 1064nm Nd:YAG beams are invisible, 532nm or 635-670nm visible guide beams are often used to ensure that the laser is properly aligned. Anti-reflection coatings designed for these multiple wavelengths, high laser damage thresholds (LDTs), and 10-5 surface quality for reduced scatter make these dual-band optics ideal for Nd:YAG systems.
The TECHSPEC® Dual Band Laser Line Mirrors offer 99% reflectivity at both their infrared and visible wavelengths. Options are available for 532nm or 635-670nm guide beams. The TECHSPEC® Dual-Band Anti-Reflection (AR) Laser Windows feature
