Intelligent Control Driving
Optimal Growth
A precision lighting control system built for professional growers. With automated scheduling, data analytics, and seamless integration, HelioCORE ensures consistent crop quality, energy efficiency, and scalable performance season after season.
Precision DLI & PPFD Control
Manage light delivery to hit daily targets and maintain stable PPFD across seasonal changes.
Dynamic Zoning & Grouping
Create multiple zones or groups within a greenhouse to tailor strategies per crop, bay, or growth stage.
Open API & System Integration
Connect with climate computers, ERP systems, or other external controllers via an open API for seamless operation.
Smart Monitoring & Alerts
Get real-time insight into fixture health, PSU status, and system events—complete with notifications and fail-safe protection.
Tailored Control for Every
Cultivation Strategy
HelioCORE adapts to evolving crop demands by enabling flexible light strategies across zones, phases, and varieties. Its advanced customization and automation features empower growers to optimize both growth and energy use.
Custom Light Recipes & Scheduling
Use HelioCORE to craft and automate light “recipes” specific to cultivar or stage. Transition smoothly between propagation, production, or special treatments and ensure repeatable, high-quality results.
Seamless Integration and Intuitive Design
With an intuitive drag-and-drop interface and graphical insights, HelioCORE makes monitoring and adjusting fixtures straightforward. The system works stand-alone or integrates with existing infrastructure thanks to its open API and wireless connector support.
10 Years of Dynamic Light
Control with HelioCORE™

HelioCORE gives growers complete control over how light is applied in the greenhouse. With the built-in Spectrum Design Tool, growers can create precise spectral mixes tailored to each cultivar or growth phase, from propagation to production. These custom strategies can be saved as light recipes and applied consistently across zones, bays, or even multiple facilities, ensuring repeatable results crop after crop. Whether the goal is to optimize morphology, accelerate flowering, or balance production during low-light seasons, HelioCORE makes it simple to design, test, and replicate light treatments.
By combining spectrum customization with recipe management, growers gain both flexibility and predictability—maximizing crop quality while streamlining operations.
Day-Ahead Prediction & Energy Savings
With day-ahead prediction, HelioCORE uses electricity price forecasts and weather data to plan light delivery in advance. The system automatically adapts schedules to ensure crops receive the exact amount of light they need, while reducing energy use during high-cost periods or when natural sunlight is available.
This proactive approach helps growers balance crop performance with operating costs, achieving consistent quality and saving up to 35% on energy consumption through precision growth strategies.
