The QS GreenBox Concept

The cultivation solution of the future

Become independent of external factors and give the seedlings the best possible start in life all year round, in the vertical QS GreenBox solution. It is a fully automated cultivation system in a closed environment. This enables an efficient and sustainable production of seedlings, with the same optimal results, repeatedly – all year-round. Just program the perfect recipe and press start and produce high quality seedlings.

In the QS GreenBox you are given advanced R&D-tools to constantly work on development and optimization of cultivation recipes and root-growth etc. With a closed environment and tracked cultivation parameters you know exactly under which circumstances the seedlings are produced. Make any changes in the parameters and compare the results with previous batches and make new conclusions on how to optimize the growth. With help of the software system you can follow the productions very precisely and in a very easy way, even on distant.

The QS GreenBox – concept is offered in various sizes to suit nursery´s specific needs as production capacity and type of seedlings.

QS GreenBox Stationary

QS GreenBox Stationary is a large-scale installation designed for enclosed and isolated buildings with electricity and water connections. It has a batch capacity of up to 2 million seedlings in just 100 square meters of floor area.

QS GreenBox Innovation

QS GreenBox Innovation is a small-scale cultivation box used for verifying cultivation results in the QS Feasibility Study. It can also be utilized for R&D purposes in nurseries, such as testing new nutrients, substrates, and species.

QS GreenBox Mobile

QS GreenBox Mobile is a smaller-scale solution installed inside a 40-foot freight container. This mobile unit does not require a building for installation. Simply connect the container to electricity and water to get started. Production capacity can be easily increased by adding additional QS GreenBox Mobile units.

QS Feasibility Study

The QS Feasibility Study aims to verify cultivation results using the QS GreenBox, identify production effects and values, and evaluate the potential impact of implementing the QS GreenBox in a nursery. The study will also determine necessary adaptations and redesigns of the standard QS GreenBox to suit the specific needs of the client’s nursery and its seedling species.

Values & benefits

Process-based cultivation

Automation and recipe control provide low work effort, safe results and high repeatability.

Increased production

Streamlining of the nursery's cultivation areas through space efficient production outside the regular cultivation season and the possibility of production without the use of greenhouses.

Homogeneous plants

Being able to create an optimal and even climate results in higher plant and root formation. Up to 100% in germination of the seed potential.

Clean and tidy

Closed environment and central irrigation provide clean, dry and algae - free cultivation chamber. Reduced risk of pest and fungal infections.

Environmental values

Opportunity for 90% energy recovery provides environmental and energy effects and no pesticides are used. Water consumption is minimal and nutrient solution is recycled during cultivation.

Attract new skills

Attract a new generation of labor and skills by a modernization of the facility.

Sustainability

The forest is important for the worlds existence and will always be. Around the world there is an increasing demand of reforestation to mitigate climate change and meet the demand of wood. With help of the QS GreenBox, you can speed up your production capacity at the same time as you make your production cycle more sustainable.
