ARC Labs fuses in-substrate sensors, AI watering decisions, and vision-based harvest capture into one platform your whole team can run from a phone. Built by growers, for commercial rooms — not adapted from warehouse software.
Most platforms watch your grow. ARC Labs acts on it — a single data loop from root zone to harvest record, with no spreadsheets in between.
In-media EC and water-content probes plus air temp, RH, CO₂, and lux — streaming over MQTT every 30 seconds.
Event-driven engine evaluates every reading in real time: crop phase, dryback targets, shot size, settling windows.
8-zone irrigation controller fires precision shots from the decision — watchdog-protected, no schedules to babysit.
Point your camera at the count sheet or the scale: vision OCR fills strain counts and harvest weights into the run log.
Rule-based alerts hit your phone the moment any metric drifts. A 3-layer health stack watches the watcher.
Every module below is live in production today, running real commercial rooms.
Let the substrate decide. The Condition Monitor reads live VWC and EC from in-media probes, applies crop-phase dryback targets (veg through ripening), computes shot size, and drives the irrigation controller directly. No timers, no guesswork, no "set it and hope." Manual override is always one tap away.
Full-run record keeping. Track every run from preveg through harvest: strains, plant counts, culls, phase transitions, and harvest weights — with sealed summaries and side-by-side run comparison so your next cycle starts smarter than the last.
Point. Shoot. Done. Handwritten plant-count sheets and harvest weight sheets are scanned with vision AI and applied straight into the run record. Strains are auto-detected and merged — no keyboard entry at the harvest table.
Know before it costs you. Sixteen environment rules with per-rule cooldowns push straight to your phone via the ARC mobile app. Temperature drift, VPD out of band, watering missed, sensor gone quiet — each alert stacks with its own tag so nothing buries anything.
Every room, one glance. Temp, RH, VPD, CO₂, lux, substrate EC, and water content per room with today's watering status — plus an AI chat widget that answers questions about your own grow data in plain English.
Work where the plants are. Task assignments with photo attachments and notes, calendar and list views, and clone-room checklists. Everyone works from the same live picture of the facility.
Pulse Grow is live today. Connect your Pulse account with an API key and your existing devices stream straight into ARC Labs — same dashboards, same alerts, same AI watering. And we build API bridges for any vendor that's open to it — tell us what you run.
Anything you can do, your automation can do. Bots and scripts log in through the same API as the app — authenticate with user credentials and the bot has full system access at that user's permission level. Prefer read-only? Org-scoped API keys give dashboards and monitoring bots exactly what they need and nothing more. Plain REST + JSON works with Hermes Agent, OpenClaw, Grok, ChatGPT, Claude, n8n, Make, Zapier, and open-source agent stacks — full docs in our public API guide. The proof: AI agents run ARC Labs' own production operations today.
The grow comes to you. The Arc Alerts app delivers push notifications the moment anything drifts — watering status, climate, sensor health — with snooze and auto-close built in. Plus a free Watering Calculator (VPD, DLI, nutrient mixing for 9 brands) with no login, no download barrier, no tracking.
One install for every device. ARC Labs is a full Progressive Web App: install it from the browser on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, and iOS — no app store, no separate downloads, always the latest version. Same app, same data, every screen you own.
Substrate and climate sensors per room. They pair to your network and start streaming immediately.
The 8-zone irrigation controller latches onto your existing drip lines. Zone-by-zone rollout.
The Condition Monitor learns your rooms' baseline and takes over watering decisions. You keep the override.
The architecture matters when your margin depends on it.
No sales team, no demo theater. You'll talk to the people who built and run the system — and who run rooms on it themselves.
