SOLLUM TECHNOLOGIES PARTNERS WITH OPTIMAL TO ADVANCE AI GREENHOUSE CONTROL

BRINGING TOGETHER DYNAMIC LIGHTING AND AI CLIMATE CONTROL FOR NEXT-LEVEL PRECISION CEA

MONTRÉAL and LONDON, June 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - Sollum Technologies is pleased to announce a strategic partnership with Optimal, a leader in AI greenhouse control. This collaboration integrates Sollum's 100% dynamic LED lighting with Optimal's AI climate and irrigation control platform, enabling growers to precisely execute their desired growing strategy under rapidly changing weather conditions.

"Growers today use Optimal to create their desired climate conditions without spending hours adjusting settings," said Dave Hunter, CEO and Founder of Optimal. "With Optimal, growers spend less than 10 minutes per week on climate and irrigation control, yet achieve higher yield, quality, and energy efficiency. Lighting is one of the most powerful levers in a greenhouse. Integrating with Sollum's dynamic LEDs gives our AI the flexibility to adjust that lever in real time. It's a natural extension of our platform."

By integrating with Sollum's proprietary SUN as a Service® platform, Optimal's AI anticipates the impact of light and balances it with climate and irrigation in real time. Optimal's AI seamlessly updates settings in the grower's existing control computer. The result for growers is a fully automated system that precisely executes their growing strategy 24/7 across lighting, climate, and irrigation.

"Our dynamic lighting solution was built to adapt — and this partnership takes that adaptability to the next level," said François R.-Moisan, co-founder and CTO at Sollum Technologies. "By connecting with Optimal's decision-making engine, our platform becomes even more responsive to crop needs. Together, we're providing growers with a seamless and intelligent way to optimize production."
