What is CAPSERO?
CAPSERO is revolutionizing plant cultivation with its cutting-edge, fully automated, and aseptic technology platform. Imagine a future where plant growth is smarter, standardized, and traceable from DNA all the way to the final product. That’s exactly what CAPSERO delivers. Their disruptive system enables regulated cultivation of plant material under completely sterile conditions, ensuring consistent quality and yield every single time. It’s not just about growing plants; it’s about optimizing growth factors with precision, making the process more efficient, safer, and reproducible than ever before. Plus, it’s sustainable—using significantly less water and light compared to traditional methods. In short, CAPSERO is building a decentralized network of automated container farms that guarantee a 100% supply of pure plant raw materials, perfectly tailored to the plant genome and free from contamination.
Main Benefits of CAPSERO’s Technology
Here’s a quick snapshot of what makes CAPSERO stand out:
- Fully automated cultivation technology housed in modular, stackable container farms
- Re-supply with DNA-pure plant capsules ensuring genetic consistency and mutation-free plants
- Ideal breeding programs matched 100% to the plant genome for optimized growth and yield
- Contamination-free, aseptic production under pharmaceutical-grade standards
- Significantly reduced resource consumption—less water and light than comparable systems
- Remote control and monitoring of cultivation modules, allowing management anytime, anywhere
- Validated, GMP-compliant quality management system with digital documentation and logging
In-Vitro Propagation and Plant Capsules
One of CAPSERO’s standout innovations is the in-vitro cloning process. This allows industrial-scale propagation of plants from tiny tissue samples called explants. Each plant grown this way is genetically identical, healthy, and mutation-free. The magic? Automated protocols based on statistically valid data make the process faster and more cost-efficient. Once the genetics are identified, they’re stored as cell lines and can be propagated automatically without any manual handling. The plants then travel safely in specially designed sterile plant capsules, ensuring contamination-free delivery worldwide. It’s plant propagation, but reimagined for the modern age.
Modular Production and Harvesting Facilities
CAPSERO’s Modular Production Facilities (MPFs) are autonomous cultivation modules designed for professional plant growth. Each module can precisely control environmental factors for plants up to 80 cm tall, independent of outside conditions. These modules are scalable, easy to maintain, and deliver standardized results—no green thumb required. Complementing the MPFs is the Modular Harvesting Facility (MHF), which can manage up to 20 MPFs at once. The MHF automates capsule insertion, plant harvesting, and cleaning of the production modules, all done hygienically and fully automatically. Together, these facilities create a seamless, efficient cultivation cycle.
The CAPSERO Ecosystem and Technology
CAPSERO isn’t just about hardware; it’s a holistic ecosystem that ensures contamination-free, certified, and fully traceable plant cultivation from start to finish. Seedlings remain in their sterile capsules throughout growth and harvest, maintaining aseptic conditions. The MPFs can be assembled into larger farms and remotely controlled, monitored, and maintained. Growth protocols are continuously optimized using CAPSERO’s proprietary technology platform powered by PhytoIntelligence. This platform leverages statistical experimental design, digital twins, and AI to develop and predict ideal cultivation protocols for each plant species. It even tailors plant phenotypes to customer needs—whether that’s boosting active ingredient content, improving growth behavior, or enhancing resistance.
Project Impact on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
- SDG 2: Zero Hunger – by ensuring reliable, high-quality plant raw materials for food and pharmaceutical industries
- SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation – through significantly reduced water consumption in cultivation
- SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure – via cutting-edge automated and modular cultivation technology
- SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production – by enabling sustainable, contamination-free plant production
- SDG 13: Climate Action – through energy-efficient systems that lower resource use and environmental impact
Quality Management and Compliance
CAPSERO’s technology is built on the highest pharmaceutical standards, fully compliant with Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and Good Agricultural and Collection Practice (GACP). Their integrated digital document management and quality management systems ensure every step is logged, validated, and transparent. Partners can access CAPSERO’s tested and validated quality system, complete with all relevant processes, templates, and standards. This means the entire cultivation process isn’t just automated—it’s also rigorously controlled and certified, giving customers peace of mind and consistent product excellence.
