A nutritionist is a person whose job is to give advice on what you should eat to remain healthy. In the same way, Crop Nutritionist gives crop growers analyzing the nutritional status of hydroponic solutions and assist in their optimization for crops in healthy.
However, designing and preparing nutrient solutions involves calculations, measurements, and analysis – a cumbersome process requiring the handling of powders and liquids.
Moreover, measuring nutrient solutions using offline instruments presents challenges regarding labor, time, and data storage/sharing.
IoT and AI shows promise in this area. In fact, IoT and AI incorporating ion sensors offer the potential for designing and controlling optimal nutrient solutions. Using AI to optimize nutrient solution is expected to reduce costs.
Crop Nutritionist System is monitoring solutions in real-time and provides data analysis, and nutrient solution optimization. And data are stored on the AI Station (edge device), where visualized, shared, and preserved. Based on the analysis results, conduct analytic insights for crop growth and nutrient formulation.

A beta version was demonstrated at the Greenhouse Horticulture & Plant Factory Exhibition / Conference(GPEC) in July 2026.
Version 1 is scheduled for the Q2/2027.
