Problem
The pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and nutraceutical industries require plant-derived ingredients that are consistently high-quality, contamination-free, and traceable, but traditional cultivation methods often struggle to meet these stringent standards. Variations in environmental conditions, pathogen exposure, and genetic drift can compromise product efficacy and safety.
Solution
CAPSERO provides a modular controlled-environment agriculture system that ensures aseptic and mutation-free plant propagation and cultivation. The system utilizes in-vitro cloning to produce genetically identical plantlets, which are then cultivated in automated, contained modules. These modules precisely control environmental parameters, eliminating contamination risks and ensuring consistent growth. The system incorporates a digital twin and AI-driven optimization to maximize yields and tailor plant phenotypes to specific customer requirements. A harvest container module manages the transfer of plantlets into the grow containers, as well as the harvesting and cleaning processes, all under controlled conditions.
Target Audience
CAPSERO's primary customers are companies in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and nutraceutical industries seeking a reliable and scalable source of high-quality, contamination-free plant material.
