Intravision Group AS

Founded on the principles of design excellence and consultancy, Intravision Group AS has today become an expert in controlled environment urban farming. What began as an architecture and consultancy firm has transformed into a global powerhouse in Agtech, specializing in photobiology and controlled environment agriculture (CEA) under the leadership of Per Aage Lysaa, the CEO of Intravision Group and the inventor of the Intravision technologies.

“We have pioneered sustainable, high-tech agricultural solutions which underscore Intravision’s commitment to reshaping the future of farming,” says Josh Siteman, managing director of Intravision Group AS. “We blend advanced research with practical applications to help our clients navigate the complexities of modern agriculture.”

Designed to optimize the agriculture and plant-based pharmaceutical production, its solutions mitigate the prominent challenges clients face in the Agtech space, including sustainability, scalability and technological integration. The key offerings encompass controlled environment agriculture (CEA) systems, advanced photobiology lighting, automation and data integration and sustainable practices, each designed to revolutionize the way crops are cultivated and harvested.

At the heart of Intravision’s offerings is GravityFlow, a fully automated platform that is tuned toward large-scale production of a wide range of medicinal and food plants. It optimizes plant growth by using the advanced LED lights, sophisticated automation technology, closed-loop air and nutrient management systems, and an array of environment and system management controls.

As an example, Vision Greens has built a successful business model leveraging Intravision’s advanced CEA technology and comprehensive support platform. With the GravityFlow system, Vision Greens is expanding sales across Ontario and establishing a footprint across Canada. The Intravision differential—rooted in space-age technology and cutting-edge research—has empowered Vision Greens to scale operations seamlessly without compromising on quality or efficiency.

Complementing the CEA systems are Intravision’s advanced photobiology lighting solutions. The innovative lighting systems are tailored to maximize photosynthetic efficiency and accelerate plant growth. By providing the exact light spectrum needed for various stages of growth, Intravision enhances crop yield and quality while minimizing energy consumption.

Intravision’s commitment to efficiency and productivity is further exemplified by its automation and data integration capabilities. Central to this is its proprietary Luminous software, which orchestrates automated production processes. Luminous collects real-time data from sensors embedded within the CEA systems, enabling growers to make data-driven decisions that optimize crop conditions and maximize yields.

What separates Intravision is its dedication to sustainable practices. In an era where environmental conservation is paramount, the company’s solutions are designed to minimize water usage, eliminate reliance on pesticides and maximize production efficiency. By harnessing the power of CEA and photobiology, Intravision offers scalable solutions that meet current agricultural needs and pave the way for a more sustainable future. It promotes environmentally responsible farming practices that safeguard ecosystem health and consumer well-being.

Intravision’s evolution into a leader in Agtech has been driven by the relentless focus on research and development. A pivotal partnership with the Controlled Environment Systems Research Facility (CESRF) at the University of Guelph has been instrumental in advancing their technological ability. This collaboration has fueled groundbreaking projects such as the PS2000 PhotoSystem Research Chambers, which enable precise control over environmental variables crucial for optimizing plant growth and maximizing yield.

The company’s journey from consultancy to global Agtech leader exemplifies the power of innovation and foresight. By leveraging expertise in architecture and merging it with groundbreaking agricultural technologies, the company has redefined what is possible in sustainable farming practices. The solutions address immediate challenges and anticipate future needs, making Intravision indispensable partners for clients seeking to future-proof agricultural investments.
