On May 19, 2026 from 09:00 to 12:00 UTC+2, CiA has scheduled a free-of-charge workshop in English language. Interested CiA members and invited guests will be informed about data-driven agrifood systems: Greenhouse automation and vertical farming.

Data-driven agrifood systems are standardized in ISO/TC 347. Greenhouse automation and vertical farming are one topic. At the front-end, there is the need to specify CAN-related profiles for HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning), irrigation, fertilization, door-and-window control, lighting, and other subsystems. In this workshop, the participants evaluate the necessary improvements of existing CiA profiles and the development of additional once.

If you would like to participate, please register till May 18, 2026 at secretary(at)can-cia.org. Registration for the free-of-charge workshop is mandatory.
