Challenge

Challenging Technology Clever lighting was a niche technology, and expertise on the hardware side of the product was critical to success, and only a few firms had this capability. Unchartered Waters LumiGrow had innovative ideas and needed a process and experienced team to help prioritize and develop working software quickly and cost-effectively.

Solution

Distributed Communication Architecture As LED grow lights increase, connection to WiFi becomes unreliable, so a mesh communication architecture using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) was designed to solve the problem. DLI Algorithm for Solar Prediction The Daily Light Integral (DLI) algorithm creates an optimal lighting environment that controls the light intensity, spectrum, and photoperiod. Firmware Collaboration We worked with their VP of engineering to align the tech strategy roadmap with their business goals. He relied on MEV to take ownership of executing the technical strategy and roadmap. Reducing Technical Debt We shipped new software and reduced technical debt. We provided system stability by establishing CI/CD, backups, system monitoring, and logging.

Results

- Creation of Intellectual Property and Trade Secrets - Improved User Experience (UX) - Measurable increase in system performance and usage as measured through the system dashboard - Greater scalability and resiliency as a result of moving to Cloud and SaaS - 23x increase in new users over a three-year timeframe - Improved experience for LumiGrow's customers through MEV's customer support program
