Large Smart Farm Fruit & Vegetable Growing Container
I. Product Overview
The Henvic Large-Scale Smart Fruit & Vegetable Cultivation Container is a new-generation modular plant factory solution developed by Hangzhou Henvic Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. Built on a converted standard shipping container, it integrates hydroponic and aeroponic cultivation systems, a full-spectrum LED plant lighting system, an intelligent environmental control system and a remote cloud management platform, enabling year-round, high-efficiency production of leafy greens, fruiting vegetables, strawberries and herbs in a fully enclosed environment.
A single 40-foot standard container forms a standalone micro plant factory, while multiple units connected in parallel can rapidly scale up into a full production base. The product is ideal for urban farms, modern agricultural industrial parks, extreme environments (deserts, plateaus, islands) and research or teaching applications.
II. Product Images
Figure 1 — Full Exterior View of the Cultivation Container
Exterior of the plant factory converted from a standard 40-foot shipping container. The body features a stainless steel structure with thermal insulation, and an HVAC climate control unit is mounted on the roof. With the side door open, the multi-tier hydroponic growing racks and LED supplementary lighting system are visible inside, presenting a modern industrial agricultural style.
Figure 2 — Interior Growing Area
The container is fitted with a multi-tier NFT (Nutrient Film Technique) hydroponic channel system for crops such as lettuce, kale, basil and strawberries. Each tier is equipped with full-spectrum LED grow lights, while white reflective wall panels and an epoxy floor maintain a clean, sterile environment. Environmental sensors and ventilation ducts are distributed along the walls.
Figure 3 — Intelligent Control System
The touch-screen control terminal displays key parameters in real time, including temperature, humidity, nutrient solution EC/pH values and photoperiod. It is fitted with physical buttons, indicator lights and an emergency stop switch, and supports remote management via a mobile app and web interface.
