Company Profile of PLANTX Corporation
PLANTX is a Tokyo-based agri-techstartup that designs and manufactures
original “Closed-type” plant production
machines, which are used for indoor
vertical farming.
We are a group of experienced engineers
with over 200 years of combined
experiences in various industries including
automobile and precision machinery. We
will upgrade indoor vertical farming and contribute to food production in the world.
Please contact us if you are interested in building indoor vertical farms, researching on plants,
and/or selling fresh and high-quality vegetables. (Our contact information is at the bottom.)TechnologyPLANTX develops original “Closed-type” plant production machines. The most important featureof them is that each layer of a machine is sealed and inside environment can be controlledindividually and highly precisely.

We have two sizes of culture machines.
One is a large-sized one for plant mass-production, named “Type M”. It is introduced to indoor
vertical farms and used to produce vegetables and plants in mass-production basis.

The other is a small-sized one for plant research, named “Type XS”. It is used for search fordata-sets of the environmental parameters to grow specific vegetables and plants, not only
delicious and nutritious vegetables but also medicinal plants with more pharmaceuticalingredients.

In both “Type M” and “Type XS” machines, our original software named “SAIBAIX” works.
“SAIBAIX” connects input (electricity, seeds, CO2, nutrients, and water) and output (plantgrowth) of an indoor vertical farm. With “SAIBAIX“, users can monitor 20 parameters of“Closed-type” machines and control them in real time in order to grow plants as intended.
There are many measured values and indicator values relating plant cultivation as in the figure
below. PLANTX built an equation chain that represent these complex relationships of plantcultivation. This equation chain is built in our original “SAIBAIX” software.

Products and Services
The following three are PLANTX’s main products and services.
・ Planning, building, and operation of indoor vertical farms:

We will plan and design indoor vertical farms with our original “Type M” machines for companies
that are willing to build vertical farms. Additionally, we will support their operations.

・ Research on plant cultivation environments:

We will research plant cultivation environments by using our “Type S” machines according to ourcustomers’ requests. We will provide data-sets of the environmental parameters to growspecific vegetables and plants, not only delicious and nutritious vegetables but also medicinal
plants with more pharmaceutical ingredients. The following is an image of PLANTX’s “PlantResearch Center”, which will be built in the near future.

・ Vegetable and plant sales:In Tokyo, PLANTX operates an indoor vertical farm using our plant production machine byourselves. There, we have produced vegetable for over a year. Additionally, our vegetable is soldat supermarkets in Tokyo and highly evaluated by demanding consumers.

Comparison with conventional technology
Our original “Closed-Type” plant production machines have significant competitive advantages
against Conventional “Open-Type” as follows.

Multi-plantcultivation（Because each layer can have a
different environment, various plants
can be grown in the same machineand room.）

Difficult（Only one kind of environment can be
set in the entire room, so it is difficultto grow various plants there.）Members
