Deployment options
Modernize an existing Greenhouse
Retrofitting an existing greenhouse allows you to almost double your productivity without building a new facility. You will be able to 2x your revenue, 3x your EBITDA – all while spending 40-60% less than building a new greenhouse. Phased installation is possible.
Deploy the Aeroframe in a new Greenhouse
Choosing the Aeroframe platform for your turnkey greenhouse is the most economically viable choice – you will produce your target output while using 40-50% less real estate, and will generate an EBITDA 50% higher than using any NFT system. Moreover, your time to market is reduced.
RETROFITTING
You already run a greenhouse and are looking for ways to improve productivity
If you are looking to upgrade your existing cultivation system and produce more in your existing greenhouse, the Aeroframe is for you.
The Aeroframe is designed to retrofit into existing greenhouses and help growers improve productivity up to 2x and profitability up to 3x.
NEW GREENHOUSES
You are considering a significant investment in a brand new greenhouse project
If you are looking to develop a new project, you are considering what type of greenhouse and equipment you need to produce your target annual volume.
Because the Aeroframe can nearly double active cultivation area, you will need less greenhouse space and will enter the market faster.
You currently grow leafy greens, herbs or strawberries
The Aeroframe platform can support various crop types, with the most significant impacts in the microgreens, baby leaves, herbs and strawberries.

You will dedicate at least 0.4 ha / 1 acre to the Aeroframe
Freya will engage in projects with +1 acre in size. However, before making a full-implementation decision, Freya will design, implement and run a pilot project in your facility and will showcase each part of the system, as well as its productivity capacity – read more here.
You will prioritize the most productive cultivation system
The Aeroframe is the most productive option on the market – and we are happy to prove it for your crop. Please reach out to us directly, or have your contractor contact our team and we will arrange a pilot deployment at your preferred location.
Benefits you will realize: retrofitting
Productivity: up to 2x plants per same area because of the three-dimensional Aeroframe structures
Profitability: up to 3x per same area, because increased plant count dilutes climate costs
Diversification: you can produce different crops during seasonal changes by simply changing plant boards
Automation: various levels of automation are available. Aeroframe plant boards are compatible with DWC automation tools.
Benefits you will realize: new projects
Lower upfront investment: because the Aeroframe is twice as productive as most industry solutions, you will require less space to produce your crops
Faster time to market: because you will need to build less space, you will enter the market faster
Higher profitability: because you will have less space, your climate controls will be lower on a per-plant basis, resulting in higher profit margins
Faster payback: lower upfront investment, combined with higher profitability, will bring your returns faster than any other system on the market
