YieldX

Integrated locking geometry allows extruded channels and moulded components to securely connect without tools or fasteners. The result is faster installation, simplified maintenance and easier disassembly for servicing, upgrades and component replacement.

Rapid prototyping and prototype tooling enabled key design decisions and assembly methods to be validated before production investment. Combined with detailed tolerance analysis and production sample reviews, this reduced risk and helped ensure reliable large-scale manufacture.

Rather than requiring growers to adapt their processes, the system is engineered to work with existing tools, planting mediums and growing methods. Modular channel configurations support a wide range of greenhouse layouts, while adjustable spacing accommodates different crop types and growth stages.

Other high density farming systems generally come with high investment and operating costs which are not sustainable for a vast majority of greenhouse growers. YieldX’s affordable plastic design is more accessible to smaller growers, while outperforming competitor systems in yield density and cost.

To support efficient large-scale operation, Cobalt helped develop a bespoke automated cleaning system and designed the channel platform to work seamlessly with it. This reduces manual handling and helps streamline turnaround between harvest and replanting.

Channel geometry was carefully developed to guide water flow and deliver nutrients consistently throughout the system. Combined with durable, UV-resistant materials suited to continuous water contact, the design is engineered for long-term reliability in greenhouse conditions.
