Realizing Low-Carbon and Low-Cost Agricultural Production for the Future! Bringing Large-Scale Plant Factories Using Automated Machinery and Environmental Control × AI/IoT to Japan!

We support "April Dream," an initiative that encourages people to share their dreams on April 1st. This press release represents the dream of Arianetech Japan Co., Ltd.

Arianetech Japan Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Kita-Aoyama, Minato-ku, Tokyo) aims to build a next-generation agricultural model that balances productivity and sustainability. By reducing the operating costs of plant factories, we will contribute to the widespread adoption of vegetables grown in plant factories and, ultimately, to a stable food supply.

[Introduction to our Group: Our Journey in Singapore] Our parent company, Arianetech Pte. Ltd., is an electronics manufacturer established in Singapore in 2001. Since 2013, the company has shifted its strategic focus to agricultural technology, leveraging its advanced technical expertise to innovate urban food production. In 2015, the company received an order from Panasonic to install equipment for Singapore's first hydroponic, artificial-light plant factory, which served as a major turning point in establishing a solid position in the agritech sector.

[Background of the Dream] Japan has long focused on advanced agricultural technology, and the development of artificial-light plant factories has progressed early on. Vegetables grown in plant factories, which are stable in quality, clean, and pesticide-free, are highly regarded by Japanese consumers, and demand is gradually increasing.

However, through deep engagement with Japanese plant factory operators, we have witnessed the reality that many are struggling to maintain independent management due to issues with operating costs, such as high electricity bills and excessive labor costs.

To solve this situation, we established our Japanese subsidiary, "Arianetech Japan Co., Ltd.," in 2020 and began full-scale business activities in Japan in 2025, following the end of the COVID-19 pandemic.

[The Realization of the Dream is Near] Our latest LED lighting is already capable of reducing electricity consumption for lighting to 3kWh per 1kg of lettuce (nearly half of conventional levels), and we have received high praise for our cost-cutting through energy efficiency.

Furthermore, in Singapore, we have opened an "Automated Production Plant Factory operated by Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR) and indoor drones" (@GKE Agritech) as a flagship agricultural production model for the future, characterized by low carbon emissions and low operating costs.

We are now planning to operate our own large-scale automated plant factories in Japan.

[Message from the Group CEO] [Caption: Arianetech Group CEO, EDWIN ONG] "We have been developing equipment for smart agriculture and plant factories. I believe that future agricultural production must utilize energy-efficient equipment and automate all tasks from sowing seeds to harvesting and packaging. On the other hand, completely eliminating human labor at this stage would conversely lead to increased costs, making sustainable management impossible.

Our dream is to develop the technology and operational know-how for full automation and to contribute to the global stable supply of food by building a next-generation agricultural model that balances productivity and sustainability.

We intend to use Japan as a testbed to advance our journey toward realizing this dream."
