Your ROKOntainer is controlled and monitored via an integrated computer. Our proprietary ROKO software is user-friendly. It automates, optimizes, and continuously monitors cultivation – remotely from anywhere in the world if needed. Our intuitive ROKO app, designed specifically for this purpose, allows you to conveniently control cultivation via your smartphone.
Our containers are delivered turnkey. Your system is fully operational in less than 24 hours after delivery – you can start immediately with no hidden costs.
Before we proceed, we offer an initial consultation and a no-obligation advice session. If desired, you can receive a test shelf to familiarize yourself with microgreens. Once you order your ROKOntainer, we can deliver and set it up in approximately three months.
We offer everything you need for your launch from a single source: from containers and suitable software to sales promotion measures. We’re happy to advise you!

An investment must pay off. With vertical farming in the ROKOntainer, costs, revenue and profit can be planned well in advance due to consistent production independent of weather conditions.
The following example calculation shows expenses and revenues at 100% container utilization and may vary depending on the selling price of the microgreens:

Our ROKOntainer is ideal for farms with a farm shop, vending machines, or other direct marketing channels. As a plug-and-play solution, it can be quickly integrated into existing structures. Ideally, you already use photovoltaics and have space in an empty barn or the option to roof the container.
The ROKOntainer allows you to generate predictable additional income with minimal personnel and labor costs. You'll gain new customers across a wide range of sectors, from direct marketing and retail to high-end restaurants. Production runs 365 days a year – completely independent of the weather. The first harvest is ready after just 7 days.
As a closed system, the ROKOntainer can be installed in many environments. ROKOntainers are robustly built and feature efficient temperature control. Nevertheless, sheltered installation is advisable – especially with regard to energy efficiency and maintenance. Thermal buffer zones, such as a former barn, are particularly recommended locations. Here, seasonal and daily temperature fluctuations are less noticeable. In outdoor areas, roofs provide good protection against rain, frost, and strong sunlight. Thermal buffer zones, such as a cold storage building or machine hall, are particularly recommended locations.
Compared to shelving solutions, the ROKOntainer offers a shielded, professional climate that prevents downtime due to contamination. As a closed system, it provides maximum hygiene, preventing the ingress of pests and pathogens, whereas foil solutions are often leaky and difficult to disinfect. Integrated filter systems (HEPA/MERV) actively remove spores and dust from the air. In contrast, foil constructions often create areas of stagnant moisture, which promote mold growth. The ROKOntainer features precise temperature and humidity control for optimal growing conditions. This prevents condensation and ensures consistently high air quality, which is technically unattainable with low-budget solutions.
As a system provider, we offer everything from a single source: from fully equipped containers to seeds. You'll also find dedicated contacts and services to ensure the smooth operation of your ROKOntainer. We developed the ROKO software and app ourselves, allowing us to support you in all aspects and even offer a WhatsApp service.
