CORE CONTROLLER

WHAT IT DOES

Not Just Control. Infrastructure.

Most cultivation controllers execute schedules. The Growlink Core Controller executes intelligence — running AI agents, Blueprints, and automation rules in real time, directly at the edge of your facility. When the internet goes down, your operation keeps running. When conditions drift, agents respond in seconds. When you scale to a new site, the same system standardizes instantly.
‍
This is not a grow room controller. This is the physical foundation that makes Agentic Cultivation™ real.

CONTROL LAYER

Total Control. Every Variable.

The Core Controller manages every critical system in your facility through Growlink OS — from a single interface, with full automation and agent oversight.

DEPLOYMENT OPTIONS

Your Data. Your Facility.  
Your Control.

For operations that require complete data ownership, maximum uptime, and zero cloud dependency — Growlink’s on-premise server runs the full platform inside your facility.
‍
The Growlink on-premise server is a rack-mountable, pre-configured industrial server that runs Growlink OS entirely within your facility network. No recurring cloud costs. No third-party infrastructure between you and your operational data. Full platform functionality regardless of internet connectivity.
‍
Required by some enterprise and MSO environments. Available to all.

Local Server Only

Full data ownership. Zero cloud dependency.

All Growlink OS functionality runs on your network. Your data never leaves your facility. 

Best for: Operations with strict data sovereignty requirements or unreliable internet connectivity.

Local + Cloud Backup

On-premise performance with off-site redundancy.

Your facility runs locally. Data is backed up to secure cloud storage for disaster recovery. 

Best for: Operations that want local control with the security of off-site data protection.

Local + Cloud Failover

Maximum resilience.

Automatic failover to cloud operation if your local system goes offline. No interruption to monitoring, automation, or agent operations.

Best for: Mission-critical multi-site operations where any downtime is unacceptable.

WHY COMMERCIAL OPERATORS CHOOSE CORE

Built for operations where failure is not an option.

Total Room Control

Precise, unified automation across climate, HVAC, CO₂, lighting, and irrigation zones — all executing from a single controller running Growlink OS.

Edge Reliability

Operates independently from internet outages. Automation rules, failsafes, and data logging never stop — regardless of what happens to your connection.

The Agentic Executor

The Core Controller is the physical layer that makes AI agents actionable. When an agent recommends a change, the controller executes it — in seconds, not minutes, not after a manual override.

Power and Monitoring

Track energy consumption and live device status across your facility. Identify inefficiencies and spot failing equipment before they cost you yield or uptime.

Flexible Deployment

Deploy cloud-connected for full platform access, or pair with an  on-premise server for 100% local operation. Your choice. Your infrastructure.

Nutrient Delivery Integration

Manage dosing, mixing, pH, and EC control through the same controller — synchronized with Blueprints and automated through Growlink OS.

DISPLAYS AND INFRASTRUCTURE

Keep Your Team on the Floor

Growlink touchscreen displays bring Growlink OS to the grow room floor — giving cultivators live data, AI alerts, and task management without leaving the room.

21" Facility Display

Facility-wide visibility at a glance.
‍
Mounted at the facility entrance or operations center — showing room status, active alerts, agent recommendations, and team task queues across your entire operation.

11" Room Display

Room-level control at your fingertips.
‍
Mounted inside each room — showing live climate and irrigation data, Blueprint status, active automation, and AI agent alerts for that specific environment. Face recognition check-in tracks who is in each room and when.

Displays are powered by Growlink OS. Every alert, every agent recommendation,  
and every task that appears on a display is generated by the same system running your automation.

OPEN ARCHITECTURE

Connects to What You Already Have

The Core Controller runs on open hardware standards — so your existing infrastructure connects without forced replacement.

BACnet

The standard protocol for commercial building automation and HVAC systems. If your facility already runs BACnet infrastructure, the Core Controller connects natively.

Modbus

The most widely deployed industrial protocol for sensors and controllers. Existing Modbus devices connect to the Core Controller without additional hardware or custom development.

SDI-12 and analog interfaces

Standard environmental sensor protocols and universal 4-20mA and 0-10V analog interfaces. Virtually any commercial sensor connects to the Core Controller through standard wiring.

When you stop paying a closed platform, their hardware stops working. With Growlink,  
your infrastructure is yours — regardless of what happens to your software relationship.

INSTALLATION AND COMMISSIONING

Deployed Right. Live Fast.

Core Controller deployments are supported by Growlink’s installation and commissioning team
— reducing go-live risk and accelerating time to value.

Installation and commissioning

Professional deployment, system validation, and go-live sign-off by Growlink’s field team.

Extended warranty

Hardware protection beyond the standard warranty period for operations that cannot afford unplanned replacement costs.

Maintenance contracts

Proactive monitoring and scheduled maintenance that prevents downtime before it happens.
