Manna MIND eliminates the challenges of maintaining precise environmental conditions in insect farming. By automating environment control, it ensures optimal conditions at every stage of production. This gives maximal efficiency, enhances yield consistency, and reduces energy consumption and need of labor.
The device-agnostic and open-source design of the system allows for seamless integration, making insect farming more scalable, cost-effective, and reliable.
Manna MIND is a locally installed, advanced and adaptable system that creates the best possible conditions for insect growth and reproduction. The system precisely controls climate conditions and lighting to establish and maintain the optimal rearing environment for every stage of an insect’s growth cycle. It seamlessly integrates with any brand, size, or combination of equipment, unlike device-specific solutions.
Manna MIND’s value is derived from its broad range of cloud features which enable climate adjustment, alerts, monitoring, data analysis, reporting, as well as process and task management for the production.
The MIND computer collects real-time data from multiple sensors and analyzes it to send commands to the control logic, which then activates or deactivates devices through the power unit.
With advanced software, the Manna MIND computer automatically activates and deactivates equipment as needed to maintain optimal conditions, ensuring maximum process efficiency.
MIND computer send collected climate data to Insect Farm Hub cloud server, where users can monitor and adjust the environment, set different growing programs and have notifications and alerts from the production modules.
Through the cloud, MIND sends specific alerts and notifications to multiple users in case of issues with climate, power, network, or sensors. It also tracks and logs all setting changes for complete monitoring and control.
A Linux-based computer with integrated ports and connectivity, designed to run software and algorithms for seamless control of other components.
The control logic sends digital signals to solid-state relays, seamlessly switching devices on and off based on real-time sensor data.
The sensor module includes temperature, humidity, and carbon dioxide (CO₂) sensors by default, with optional support for additional sensors such as ammonia (NH₃) and methane (CH₄).

CLOUD FEATURES
The power sensor is optional but recommended, as it precisely measures the module’s electricity consumption, enabling accurate usage estimates and energy optimization.
MIND technology requires a constant Internet connection for remote control and monitoring. The preferred computer unit includes built-in connectivity, while mobile Internet enables operation in more remote and independent locations.
MIND supports up to 32 additional sensors to monitor multiple locations within the module. Its software aggregates data from all sensors and makes real-time adjustments for optimal performance.
