| Company profile | Plances develops off-grid smart irrigation for urban greenery. Our control unit and software use environmental simulation and weather data to predict plant and substrate water demand, avoiding complex sensor setups. The system automates watering, enables remote monitoring, and supports operators and OEM partners in deploying low-maintenance green infrastructure such as planters, parklets and rooftops.
|
| Products & Services | Hardware: a weatherproof, solar-powered irrigation control unit with LTE connectivity, pump control and water-level monitoring for modular integration into planters and urban furniture.
Software: predictive irrigation schedules, alerts and fleet dashboards to cut service visits and prevent plant loss.
Services: partner onboarding, configuration for different planter systems, APIs/integrations and pilot support.
|
| References and export activities | B2B deployments in the parklet and modular urban greenery segment. Collaboration with Fraunhofer to advance the simulation-based irrigation core. Focus on scaling via OEM partners in Germany/EU, with international rollouts planned through distributors and integrators.
|
| Target group | OEMs and providers of urban furniture, modular planters, rooftops/façade greening; landscape operators managing distributed assets; municipalities and smart city programs; hospitality and commercial real estate with large green areas.
|
| Competitive advantages | Sensorless, simulation-based control reduces hardware complexity and failures. Off-grid (solar + remote connectivity) enables installations without power/water infrastructure. Predictive automation lowers maintenance costs, improves plant survival and provides fleet-level transparency for operators and OEMs.
|
| Ideal Business Partners | rban furniture/planter OEMs, rooftop & façade greening specialists, landscape operators, smart city stakeholders and local integrators/distributors. We seek pilot sites in dense urban areas and partners for extreme-climate irrigation know-how and data/platform integrations.
