hydroBUILD automation

Your farm, running itself

Sensors read your water and air around the clock. hydroBUILD doses nutrients, runs tanks and keeps your climate in the ideal zone, and our AI warns you before problems reach your crop.

  • Zero manual errors
  • AI predictions
  • One system for your farm

hydroBUILD automation: how it works

Why automate

Six reasons growers automate with hydroBUILD

  • Zero manual errors

    Dosing, irrigation and climate run on rules, not on someone remembering to do it.

  • Save water, nutrients and energy

    Inputs go in only when sensors say the crop needs them.

  • Stronger crop growth

    Roots and leaves get the right nutrients at the right time, every time.

  • Consistent climate, better yields

    Steady conditions day and night keep plants growing at their best.

  • Less labour required

    Your team spends less time on checks and adjustments, and more on the crop.

  • One system for your entire farm

    Every tank, zone and sensor in one dashboard, on your phone or browser.

AI predictions

Know about problems before they happen

Our AI system helps you predict problems before they happen. From plant health alerts to climate recommendations and yield prediction, everything becomes simpler, faster and more accurate.

Plant health alertsClimate recommendationsYield prediction
  • Prevent issues before they harm your crop
  • Higher yield with fewer inputs
  • Save time on manual checkups
  • Boost consistency across seasons
  • Better crop planning with accurate predictions

Climate control

Keep every plant in its ideal zone

Temperature, humidity, airflow and light decide how well your crops grow. hydroBUILD controls these conditions automatically, so your plants stay in their ideal zone.

  • Reduce stress on plants
  • Improve flowering and fruiting
  • Stable climate leads to higher yields
  • Prevent fungal diseases
  • Reduce labour and manual adjustments

Our progress

From our own farm to farms across India

hydroBUILD was born on our first farm and built entirely in-house.

See all milestones
  1. Adding more technology to the farm, January 2020
    2020

    Technology on our own farm

    We start adding technology to our Satara farm and build a nutrient calculator, one plant at a time.

  2. Designing the hydroBUILD circuit board
    July 2022

    Designed in-house, chip to software

    Our engineers in Pune design hydroBUILD from the chip and circuit board up to the software.

  3. hydroBUILD automation, ready to ship, August 2022
    August 2022

    The first units ship

    The first hydroBUILD automation units are ready to ship.

  4. Installing hydroBUILD on a farm
    2022 to 2024

    Proven with early adopters

    hydroBUILD runs on early-adopter client farms as a closed system while we refine it.

  5. hydroBUILD public launch, December 2024

Built on the ground

Built to solve our own farming problems

The most sophisticated automation you see here was built to solve problems on our own farms. Every case and every situation it handles is one we have faced on the ground, in reality.

That is what makes Kryzen a pioneer in Indian hydroponics.

Inside the software

Every tank, reading and dose in one place

Screenshots are from the live system.

01

Every reading, logged

pH, EC, humidity and temperature are recorded through the day, with a record of when pH-up, EC-up and EC-down dosing ran.

FAQ

Questions about IoT and automation

Want a demo? Call us on +91-9870424425.

What is hydroBUILD automation?

hydroBUILD automation is Kryzen’s IoT and automation system for hydroponic and protected farms. Sensors read pH, EC, temperature and humidity, and the system runs dosing, tanks and climate equipment automatically.

What does it measure?

pH, EC (or CF, PPM 500 and PPM 700), water and air temperature, and humidity. Readings are logged through the day and shown as charts.

Can I control it from my phone?

Yes. You can view readings, open logs and run your mechanism from the app or a browser, wherever you are.

How does the AI help?

It looks at your readings to predict problems before they happen, with plant health alerts, climate recommendations and yield predictions.

Can I still run things manually?

Yes. Each tank can run on a time schedule or stay always on, and you can calibrate sensors from the same screen.

Does it work with farm management software?

Yes. Kryzen’s farm management software connects with automation systems through APIs, so readings and crop schedules stay in one place.
