Data Flow & Security

Data Collection

Sensors capture environmental and growth data every 5-15 minutes. Plant inventory updates sync from seed-to-sale system in real-time.

Encrypted Transmission

All data encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). Enterprise-grade security protocols prevent interception or tampering.

AI Analysis

Machine learning models process data, identify anomalies, predict trends, and generate alerts. Audit trail captures all system activity.

Dashboard Access

Authorized users view live data, historical trends, and export reports. Role-based access ensures data privacy and compliance.

Real-World Impact

The same Flow Berry platform that helps a single grow room stay compliant can scale to protect an entire program. Here is how the journey looks in practice.

Starting Small: Hillside Medicinal Cultivars

A 2,000 sq ft craft grower with four grow zones

Hillside's operators were manually logging temperature and humidity twice a day on paper spreadsheets. During a summer heatwave, an HVAC fault went unnoticed overnight and wiped out an entire flowering room. The facility needed real-time visibility but could not afford a complex enterprise system.

Flow Berry installed four wireless environmental sensors and a single gateway. Within a week, Hillside had live dashboards, predictive humidity alerts, and one-click Excel reports for compliance reporting.

The same sensors, dashboards, and AI models scale to monitor hundreds of facilities under one oversight program.

Scaling Up: Aurora Cultivation Group

A multi-facility operator monitoring 50+ grow zones

Three years later, Hillside had grown into Aurora Cultivation Group, operating multiple facilities across the state. Each site used different record-keeping tools, making group-wide audits slow and inconsistent.

Flow Berry rolled out a white-labelled oversight dashboard across all facilities. The same environmental sensors used by the original site were added to larger facilities, while smaller grows kept their original kits. All data fed into a unified platform with role-based access for inspectors, auditors, and operations leadership.
