Agrolabs

What Agrolabs does

Agrolabs is a UK-based agtech company developing industrial IoT sensors and a cloud software platform for greenhouse automation. Founded in 2018 and headquartered in London (Agrolabs Limited), the company targets commercial and small-to-medium greenhouse operations globally, with regional presence in Hong Kong (Asia-Pacific), an R&D center in Dnipro, Ukraine, and a Georgia office in Tbilisi. The company operates with 1-10 employees and supports four website language versions (English, Russian, Turkish, Spanish), indicating an internationally distributed but early-stage organisation.

The product portfolio comprises four integrated components: B-Control (wireless bumblebee hive automation and pollination activity counting with 10-week battery autonomy and universal hive adapters), W-Sens (wireless irrigation and root-zone health sensors tracking weight, drainage, and substrate state), Climate/Connect (an integration module that ingests data from third-party climate sensors), and the Agrolabs Software cloud platform, which centralises dashboards, real-time notifications via Telegram and email, predictive analytics, anomaly detection, and ERP integration via API or data widgets. The proprietary layer rests on patented (or patent-pending) data analysis algorithms applied to time-series greenhouse sensor data, with a claimed aggregated dataset exceeding 3.4 million data points across deployments.

The business model combines hardware sales (B-Control, W-Sens, Climate sensors) with recurring software subscriptions and a flexible Hardware-as-a-Service (HaaS) bundle. Pricing is quote-based, billed annually, and tailored to greenhouse type and size. The go-to-market is hybrid: a product-led self-serve cloud platform for smaller operations, supplemented by direct enterprise sales via demo booking and personalised quotations. Distribution relies primarily on the company website and localised regional sites rather than third-party resellers. Capital sources include accelerator participation (MassChallenge, Brinc) and venture/ecosystem funding (Artesian VC, Google for Startups), with no disclosed funding amounts and no named customers in the available material.

Core offering

Agrolabs designs, manufactures and sells industrial IoT sensors and a cloud-based software platform purpose-built for greenhouse farming. Its product portfolio includes B-Control (automated bumblebee hive pollination), W-Sens (wireless irrigation and root-zone analytics), Climate (third-party sensor integration module), and the Agrolabs Software cloud platform, distributed under a flexible Hardware-as-a-Service (HaaS) subscription or direct hardware purchase.

Product overview

Agrolabs offers a modular IoT solution portfolio for greenhouse farms comprising four integrated products: B-Control (bumblebee hive automation), W-Sens (irrigation and root health analytics), Climate (integration module for third-party sensors), and a central Software Cloud Platform. The products share the cloud platform for data aggregation, real-time monitoring, customizable dashboards, and predictive analytics, while each hardware product addresses specific operational needs (pollination, irrigation, climate). The company also provides HaaS (Hardware as a Service) flexible subscription model.

Products and services

• B-Control Bumblebee hive automation and analytics system for greenhouse pollination. Enables automated hive opening/closing via configurable schedules, counts pollination activity, supports group or individual hive management, runs up to 10 weeks on a single charge of standard 18650 cells, and fits all major hive manufacturers through click-on adapters. Used by greenhouse farmers to save labour and improve pollination effectiveness.
• W-Sens Wireless irrigation and plant root health analytics device for greenhouse operations. Tracks 8 data points including substrate weight and drainage volume, available in 1, 2, or 3 slab versions, and offers fully wireless out-of-the-box setup with no calibration. Used by greenhouse growers to optimize irrigation scheduling and root zone health.
• Climate Integration Module (Connect) Integration module that connects any third-party climate sensor alongside Agrolabs' preselected climate sensors to the Agrolabs cloud platform. Provides real-time climate data monitoring, automatic notifications on deviations, and predictive optimization advice. Used by greenhouse farmers to add affordable climate visibility without replacing existing sensor infrastructure.
• Agrolabs Software (Cloud Platform) Cloud-based software platform that centralizes control of crop data and management of all Agrolabs IoT devices. Provides instant notifications, smart dashboards, predictive analysis, and integration with existing ERP systems through data widgets and API. Accessible from any device and supports Telegram and email notifications. Used by greenhouse farmers and operations managers for unified monitoring and decision automation.
• Hardware-as-a-Service (HaaS) Subscription Flexible recurring subscription bundle that combines Agrolabs IoT hardware (B-Control, W-Sens, Climate) and the cloud software platform into a single offering, transferring industry knowledge to greenhouse producers regardless of farm scale.

Direct peers

• 30MHz: Dutch wireless sensor platform purpose-built for horticulture and greenhouses, offering environmental monitoring, dashboards, and analytics. Direct peer to Agrolabs given similar wireless IoT-for-greenhouse positioning and cloud-based dashboard delivery to commercial growers.
• Hortau: Precision irrigation management provider using wireless soil tension sensors and cloud software for high-value crops. Closely comparable to Agrolabs' W-Sens irrigation analytics offering, both targeting precision water management with predictive recommendations.
• CropX: Soil and irrigation sensing platform combining in-ground sensors with cloud-based agronomic analytics. Comparable to Agrolabs on wireless sensor deployment and cloud analytics, though primarily field-crop focused with growing greenhouse presence.
• Sensoterra: Wireless soil moisture sensor provider offering long-range, low-power probes with cloud dashboards. Comparable to Agrolabs' W-Sens irrigation monitoring on the precision soil/substrate sensing dimension, with similar wireless-to-cloud architecture.
• Aranet: Provider of wireless IoT sensors and monitoring solutions for horticulture, greenhouses, and industrial environments. Comparable to Agrolabs' wireless sensor architecture, multi-parameter monitoring, and cloud dashboard delivery model.

Broad incumbents

• Priva: Established Dutch provider of climate, irrigation, and process control systems for greenhouses and indoor farming. Comparable to Agrolabs across the climate and irrigation control layers, but operates as a broad incumbent with full building-automation scope rather than modular IoT retrofit.
• Ridder Group: Long-standing Dutch supplier of greenhouse technology including climate screens, irrigation, and water treatment. Overlaps with Agrolabs on irrigation monitoring and climate integration, but offers a broader portfolio of mechanical and process systems.
• Semios: Large agtech IoT platform with pest management, climate, and irrigation sensors primarily serving orchards and specialty crops with some greenhouse coverage. Comparable on predictive analytics and anomaly detection, but operates at broader crop and geographic scale.
• Argus Control Systems: Supplier of environmental control systems for greenhouses, nurseries, and research facilities. Comparable to Agrolabs' climate integration module and cloud platform, but with deeper installed base in commercial and research greenhouse operations.
• Kubo Greenhouse Projects: Global greenhouse builder and technology integrator offering turnkey growing facilities including climate and irrigation controls. Adjacent incumbent comparable to Agrolabs on the climate and irrigation integration dimensions, but bundled into full greenhouse construction projects.
