Sacramento based indoor-agriculture engineering consultancy
Aerocea Systems
Advanced Aeroponic & CEA Automation Systems Integrator

- 12 zones
- Crop, light, fertigation, and climate control
- PLC first
- Local fail-safe control with dashboard visibility
Environmental control platform
A full operating interface for greenhouse and indoor-farm control.
The control system brings live sensors, historical trends, AI decision support, alarms, setpoints, lighting, shade, ventilation, PPFD, CO2, nutrient recipes, and irrigation into one operator console.
System level product philosophy
Sell the operating system for the farm, not a pile of equipment.
Aerocea Systems works as a vendor-agnostic engineering integrator. Pumps, nozzles, lights, sensors, cameras, controllers, and dashboards are selected from serviceable commercial components, then integrated into a site-specific operating system.
The long-term value is in the control logic, crop parameter templates, commissioning records, alarm handling, performance data, and repeatable operating procedures that connect biology, mechanical systems, controls, and software.
Solutions
Project packages for growers, pilots, and research facilities
Inspired by commercial CEA vendors, the website now presents Aerocea as a systems partner: configurable enough for different crops and facilities, but grounded in drawings, controls, commissioning, and support.
Greenhouse
Automation retrofit
Add climate, fertigation, lighting, sensing, camera, alarm, and dashboard control to existing greenhouse operations without forcing one equipment brand.

Aeroponic
High-value crop pilot
Build controlled root-zone trials for strawberries, leafy greens, herbs, propagation, and specialty crops with mist-cycle logic and performance logging.

Modular
Container and test farm
Package edge control, dashboards, recipes, alarms, and SOPs for compact farms where repeatability and fast iteration matter more than facility scale.

Open console
Lighting and recipes
Supplemental LED zones, DLI tracking, crop-stage schedules, light recipes, demand-response considerations, and environmental coordination with thermal load.
View details
Software and dashboards
Operator dashboards, mobile alarms, REST API sensor adapters, historical data logging, crop templates, commissioning reports, data exports, and go2rtc camera matrices.
View details
Support and optimization
Commissioning checklists, calibration plans, operator SOPs, alarm reviews, recipe tuning, maintenance planning, spare-parts strategy, and recurring remote support.
View detailsControl architecture
Local control remains authoritative.
Critical pump, valve, pressure, reservoir, leak, and emergency-stop logic should live at the PLC or industrial edge-controller layer. Dashboards and cloud tools provide recipes, visualization, reporting, and remote alerts, but they are not the only layer responsible for safe operation.
- Sensor data feeds PLC and edge dashboards.
- Hardwired safety inputs can force deterministic safe states.
- Internet outages do not stop local control logic.
- Camera streams stay segmented from the controls VLAN.

View detailsCentral Valley focus
Built for practical growers, water constraints, and climate variability.
California's Central Valley is a strong early market for indoor agriculture automation because growers already understand crop economics, water pressure, labor risk, and the cost of operational uncertainty.
The opportunity is not novelty technology. It is risk reduction, repeatable production, measurable resource use, and better operating control for nurseries, strawberry trials, leafy greens, herbs, propagation rooms, and research facilities.
- Greenhouse retrofit and automation upgrades
- Indoor propagation rooms for nurseries
- Aeroponic strawberry and high-value crop trials
- Container farms and modular pilots
- Research, education, and controlled crop recipe development
Start a project
Discuss a site assessment or pilot automation package.
Bring a facility, crop goal, water source, utility constraint, or pilot idea. Aerocea Systems can translate it into a phased engineering scope with drawings, controls, commissioning, and support.
