Operations & Maintenance for Controlled Environment Cannabis Cultivation

Speakers: Rob Eddy, Robert Fisher & Chip Seidel

Unlike cultivation facilities of a few decades ago, indoor farms and weather-respondent greenhouses are more machines than building, always running from the day production begins. Facilities that do not create a culture of sound operations and preventative maintenance do so at the peril of their business. Better understand the operational limits of lighting, fertigation systems and HVAC. Understand how to develop SOPs beyond cultivation tasks. Learn programming tricks for your climate controls from experts with decades of experience. Secure your cultivation data and information systems. Reduce short-cycling of equipment and learn how to even wear and tear, while developing tracking for equipment usage, maintenance, repairs and inventory. Discern what maintenance and repairs are best done in-house versus service agreements with third parties
Topical areas include:
Climate control programming optimization and equipment usage tracking
Operational conditions and limits of cultivation equipment
Developing SOPs for inspection, maintenance and repair
Tracking software for facility upkeep and inventory
