- Walk into type chamber, with shelves and walking corridor inside.Solar power harvested into power banks inside each modular units for maintaining appropriate temperatures inside Silo at tolerable levels for vegetables, Fruits, eggs and juices. System controls all the parameters required inside the unit, including switching on and off lights only when personnel are present inside.
- Intuitive control system that manages energy harvesting and energy consumption carefully so as to not waste energy and conserve energy. Also has built in error detection and diagnostics and host of sensors to measure and track various parameters.
