Redefining Horticulture with Light, Intelligence, and Innovation

From June 10 to 12 in Amsterdam, GreenTech visitors can explore how the latest-generation LED and sensor solutions from ams OSRAM enhance plant growth, save energy, and promote sustainable farming. At Hall 05, Booth 05.357, attendees will experience hands-on demonstrations of UV-C disinfection systems, chemical-free weed control, and high-performance greenhouse LEDs, including a UV-C robotic arm, a drone, and an algae reactor—all bringing sustainability to life.

Spark curiosity. Fuel growth. Shape the future.
The major highlight of ams OSRAM’s trade fair presentation will be the new high-power LED OSCONIQ® P 3737 GEN 2 - with the highest efficiency in its class and a strong focus on sustainability. It is the perfect choice as a toplight mounted on greenhouse ceilings, for interlighting between rows of plants and flowers, and as a standalone light source for vertical farming. Thanks to its 82.4 % total efficiency in Hyper Red and a photon flux of 6.09 µmol/s with minimal energy consumption, it significantly boosts photosynthetic performance and noticeably shortens crop cycles. Compared to its predecessor, the GEN 2 version provides 3.2 % more performance, 2.2 % higher efficiency, and supports a maximum drive current of 2,800 mA in both Hyper Red and Far Red. This reduces the number of LEDs required, lowers energy consumption, and enables compact, multi-channel luminaire designs. The OSCONIQ® P 3737 GEN 2 is part of a comprehensive horticulture portfolio covering all key wavelengths—from Hyper Red and Far Red to Deep Blue. Another version of the high-power LED, the OSCONIQ® P 3737 Batwing, will be launched later this year.

Sustainable, innovative solutions: disinfection at the flick of a switch
Sustainable horticulture approaches that ams OSRAM is pushing forward also include cutting-edge UV-C LEDs and spectral sensors. UV-C LED technology offers numerous advantages to farmers and agricultural holdings. UV-C light positively influences a variety of key parameters: it facilitates pest and disease control, accelerates growth rates, boosts crop yields, and improves both nutrient uptake and plant resistance to pathogens. UV-C LEDs from ams OSRAM are tailored to match the unique demands of each application, striking the perfect balance between germicidal performance, top-level quality, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. The company also offers innovative solutions for sustainable weed control: camera-based systems combined with 455 nm laser diodes from ams OSRAM enable farmers to boost their productivity through efficient and reliable weed detection and eradication. Chemical-free and with high precision.

A new key innovation for intelligent lighting systems
State-of-the-art drones and agricultural robots can be equipped with a versatile range of spectral sensors and cameras designed to collect valuable data on plant health, phenotyping, and water stress. With the addition of the new TCS3448, a 14-channel multi-spectral sensor, the company has further strengthened its sensor portfolio. Compact, efficient, and software-compatible with existing solutions such as the AS7343, the TCS3448 simplifies the development of next-generation miniaturized spectral systems—perfect for urban farming, medical technology, industrial lighting control, and much more. With a spectral range of 350 to 900 nm, integrated flicker detection up to 1 kHz, and an ultra-compact footprint of just 3.1 × 2.0 × 1.0 mm, the TCS3448 delivers precise light and color data for a wide range of applications.

Making the future of horticulture tangible
At GreenTech 2025, ams OSRAM invites visitors to engage with its innovations through interactive demos: a UV-C and blue laser robotic arm for disinfection and weed control, an algae reactor illustrating the role of light in CO₂ capture and bioeconomy applications, and a spectral drone with direct time-of-flight (dToF) sensors for real-time environmental monitoring.
