Modern agriculture demands growing environments that are precise, efficient, and scalable. Australian Vanilla Plantations addresses this by developing a climate controlled micro farming system to cultivate natural vanilla, which represents only around 3% of the global market, with prices rising from $10 per kg to $500 per kg in five years. By integrating EcoStruxure™ Automation Expert and AVEVA™ Insight, the organisation enables remote environmental control, real time monitoring, and repeatable processes while allowing operators to manage and optimise operations from anywhere. The result is a scalable, future ready cultivation model capable of generating up to $150K AUD per dome annually while improving efficiency, reducing operational complexity, and ensuring reliable, high quality crop production.
