Vertical Grow Racks: Mobile & Fixed

Multi-tier racking is the strongest way to add usable production area inside the same room footprint. SSG plans both mobile and fixed vertical systems so the rack strategy fits the room, the workflow, and the airflow and sanitation the crop needs every day.

Mobile vertical racking closes unused aisles and opens an aisle only where staff are working, for the biggest density gain when floor space is the constraint and crews still need full access.
Fixed vertical racking delivers a stable multi-tier layout for rooms that want the added tiers without rack movement or aisle-on-demand.

  • Models stronger growing density inside the same room footprint
  • Mobile carriages open an aisle only where it's needed for maximum space gain
  • Fixed tiers give a stable multi-level layout without rack movement
  • Keeps crop work, inspection, and maintenance routes reachable at every tier
  • Connects rack strategy with airflow paths, sanitation, and room systems
  • Best fit when the facility needs the strongest spatial impact

Biosecurity and sanitation systems for a controlled cultivation facility with gowning, hygiene stations, and contamination-control zoning

Biosecurity & Sanitation

Protect crops, product, and people by planning biosecurity and sanitation into the facility from the start. SSG helps coordinate gowning and hygiene stations, footwear sanitation, hand-wash and glove points, pass-through and material control, and clean and dirty zoning so contamination control is built into daily workflow instead of bolted on later.

  • Gowning, hygiene, and footwear-sanitation stations at room and zone entries
  • Clean and dirty zoning with controlled material movement between rooms
  • Pass-throughs, supply control, and sanitation points planned into the layout
  • Supports cleaner crop work and stronger contamination control as the operation scales

Not Sure Which System Fits?

Start with the crop, the production goal, and the building. From there, SSG can compare system paths against access, utilities, labor flow, sanitation, storage, and expansion needs.

  • Compare automation, racking, benching, carts, rooms, and storage against the actual layout
  • Connect production, support, and facility-planning needs
  • Choose a best-fit direction for the current scope and next phase

Indoor Farming Facility Strategy

Helping Vertical Farming Teams Move From Production Goals to Expansion-Ready Plans

SSG Horticulture turns crop goals, room dimensions, production targets, access needs, and support-space requirements into a clearer facility strategy before equipment decisions are locked in.

The goal is an indoor farming environment that performs as a connected system: production density, crop movement, airflow paths, utilities, workflow, sanitation, storage, and future growth planned together.

Our Role Is to Connect the Indoor Farming Facility

SSG carries the project from system comparison through layout and design coordination, implementation planning, and long-term support. Our team connects crop strategy, production density, daily crop access, automation readiness, carts, storage, support spaces, and future growth into one coordinated facility plan.

Systems over isolated equipment Crop flow over guesswork Support beyond startup

Plan the Full Cycle: Propagate, Grow, Harvest, Pack, Store, and Expand

From seed and propagation through production, harvest, packout, storage, and future expansion, each stage creates different space, access, movement, and support needs. SSG connects those stages so the full facility is easier to operate as production scales.

We give propagation the clean, organized staging your starts need.

Our carts, benching, and staging keep young plants moving from germination into production with minimal handling, so starts stay healthy and your crews stay efficient from day one.

Organized staging for seedling and young plant handling
Cleaner movement between propagation and production areas
Support systems that prepare the operation for production-stage flow

We design production rooms for maximum density without sacrificing daily access.

Our team plans every layout around crop care, inspection, irrigation, lighting access, cleaning, and repeatable harvest cycles before a single rack or bench is set, so you get the most canopy per square foot in rooms your crews can actually work.

Daily access for crop care, scouting, and maintenance
Cleaner handling across the room
Room logic that supports repeatable production cycles

We build harvest, wash, and packout flow into the facility from the start.

Our carts, staging zones, and movement paths are planned right alongside the grow rooms, so harvest, cleaning, packing, and handoff move cleanly instead of turning into a post-harvest bottleneck.

Smoother crop handling and staging flow
Less friction between growing rooms and support zones
Support systems treated as part of the facility strategy

We plan storage and support to run on the same plan as your grow rooms.

From supplies and packaging to spare parts, cold storage, and finished goods, our team organizes the back of the facility so it keeps pace with production instead of slowing it down.

More organized supply and support space
Less wasted back-of-house square footage

AGEYE is built to expand with your operation.

AGEYE automation scales room by room, so you can start with the capacity you need now and add crops, rooms, and throughput later without re-engineering the facility. SSG plans the first buildout so every expansion after it is a repeatable step instead of a rebuild.

Which system creates the most business impact for indoor vertical farming?+

Automated indoor grow systems are often the strongest path when the operation needs crop management, controls, equipment, and production workflow tied together. Vertical racking and benching can also create major impact when density, access, and room performance are the primary constraints.

Explore automation systems
When do automated indoor grow systems make sense?+

Automation makes sense when crop volume, labor model, consistency goals, and production economics justify a more integrated system. SSG starts by comparing the operating model against the building, crop mix, utility constraints, and growth plan.

View AGEYE systems
How should vertical racks or benches be planned around utilities?+

We plan racking and benching alongside lighting, irrigation, HVAC, drainage, airflow, sanitation, and maintenance access, coordinating around those systems so the room works as one. We design and supply the cultivation systems themselves rather than the building utilities.

Explore rack systems
Is this only for new indoor farming facilities?+

No. We support new builds, expansions, retrofits, and facility upgrades, because the right layout and system improvements create value at every stage of growth.
