Precision Growing, Simplified: Boro and Beyond Media Documents Aranet and Stratus Designs’ Integrated Horticulture Control System
Boro and Beyond Media recently produced a full case study showcasing how Aranet wireless sensors and Stratus Designs’ horticulture control systems come together to create a seamless, data-driven environment for modern cultivation facilities. The collaboration highlights a powerful message: precision growing is only possible when technology, integration, and real-world experience all align.
Stratus Designs has built a reputation for delivering reliable, scalable control systems for horticulture environments across Canada. When paired with Aranet’s high-accuracy sensors — known for long-range performance using radio signals, low latency, and exceptional battery life — cultivators gain a complete ecosystem that is both intuitive and incredibly robust.
Our task was to capture this story in a clear, visually compelling way.
The Future of Controlled Growing: Data You Can Trust
Consistency in horticulture doesn’t happen by accident. It’s built on accurate data and systems that respond instantly to changing conditions. Aranet’s wireless sensor platform is the backbone of that precision.
Through our case study work, we highlighted how cultivators rely on Aranet devices to monitor:
Temperature
Relative humidity
VPD (Vapor Pressure Deficit)
CO₂ levels
Light intensity
Substrate moisture
Every parameter matters — and Aranet delivers stable, reliable readings that Stratus Designs can integrate directly into their control systems.
Seamless Integration Through BACnet & Reliable Controls
One of the most important advantages of Stratus Designs’ horticulture solutions is the use of standardized communication protocols like BACnet, paired with the proven backbone of Reliable Controls hardware.
Why BACnet Integration Matters
BACnet allows sensors, HVAC equipment, lighting systems, fertigation controllers, and environmental controls to communicate in a unified language. This means:
Faster setup
Fewer compatibility issues
Greater long-term scalability
Centralized control for every room and parameter
For cultivators, the result is a system that feels effortless — even though it’s incredibly powerful under the hood.
Reliable Controls: Built for Mission-Critical Environments
Reliable Controls hardware forms the core of Stratus Designs' system architecture, offering:
Industrial-grade stability
Long-term support and expandability
Secure communication
Fail-safe operation for sensitive horticulture environments
Our case study visuals show exactly how these components come together to create a reliable, intelligent grow environment that responds instantly to real-time data from the Aranet network.
Stratus Designs: Engineering Simplicity in Complex Environments
Grow facilities are complex. Different rooms demand unique conditions, mechanical systems must operate in sync, and environmental swings can impact yield, quality, and plant health. Stratus Designs specializes in translating that complexity into a centralized, intuitive platform that cultivators can trust.
Through our filming and photography, we demonstrated how their system architecture:
Harmonizes thousands of data points
Automates environmental adjustments
Reduces human error
Improves operational efficiency
Supports consistent crop quality
Stratus Designs doesn’t just build control systems — they build ecosystems.
Storytelling Through Technical Cinematography
For this project, Boro and Beyond Media focused on both the human side and the technical backbone of horticulture automation.
Our deliverables included:
Cinematic control interface shots showcasing dashboards and live data updates
Macro product visuals of Aranet sensors, nodes, and wireless infrastructure
Facility walkthrough footage showing real-time integration in operation
Interview segments explaining how simplified integration benefits day-to-day cultivation
Short-form ads designed for marketing, education, and trade show use
We created a narrative that captures not just what the system does — but why it matters for growers.

Aranet Case Study with Stratus Designs
Why Precision, Integration, and Reliability Matter for Growers
Modern cultivation demands more than manual adjustments and standalone equipment. Successful operators need:
Accurate real-time data
Automated control responses
Interconnected systems
Scalable architecture for future expansion
Long-term reliability without constant onsite support
Aranet provides the precision.
Stratus Designs provides the control.
BACnet and Reliable Controls provide the language and stability that tie it all together.
Our case study captured how these technologies create a complete ecosystem trusted by growers across British Columbia and beyond.
