Nasekomo — AIR2B

01 / THE PLATFORM

One platform. From one-day larvae to harvest.

Our platform AIR2B (Automated insect rearing beds and robots) is designed as a modular production system for industrial insect bioconversion. Instead of relying on hundreds of individual crates, AIR2B uses vertically stacked rearing beds and a dedicated robot to manage the production cycle.

The platform is loaded with young larvae, which are raised in up to 80-90 m long beds until harvest. No additional moving is required, the larvae remain in the same bed throughout the entire production cycle, from loading to harvest.

Built for continuous production.

Automated rearing

Robotic handling

Integrated sensing

Real-time process control

Data-driven optimization

The modular architecture allows production capacity to grow by adding production lines rather than redesigning the entire facility.

02 / DESIGNED DIFFERENTLY

More production in less space.

AIR2B replaces the traditional crate-based approach with vertically stacked rearing beds.

A single AIR2B platform can have 4 to 12 floors, with more than 2 meters of active rearing-bed width and a net footprint of under 300 m².

Deep substrateUp to 15 cm of rearing substrate — up to three times thicker than industry standards.

High throughputUp to 24 tons of feedstock loaded per floor per cycle.

Vertical densityUp to 12 production levels/floors within one platform.

Modular capacityProduction lines can be added as capacity requirements grow.

03 / ROBOTIC CONTROL

One robot. The whole production cycle.

Each AIR2B platform is equipped with a dedicated front-end robot that moves vertically between floors and horizontally along each rearing bed.

It handles the core physical operations of the production cycle.

Loading & seeding

Uniformly distributes feedstock and larvae.

Plowing

Works deep substrate layers of up to 15 cm.

Monitoring & intervention

Collects process data and enables real-time adjustments.

Environmental control

Manages the humidity, the liquid in the feeding, levelling and cooling according to process conditions.

Harvesting & cleaning

Sifts the mature larvae from the feed and prepares the bed for the next cycle.

04 / DATA + AUTOMATION

Automation that sees, learns and responds.

The platform uses integrated sensors, PLC-based control and data acquisition to monitor process variables and support optimisation over time.

Real-time monitoring

Process conditions are continuously monitored.

Historical data

Production data is captured for analysis and optimisation.

Modular automation

The automation architecture scales with every additional production line.

05 / ENGINEERED FOR EFFICIENCY

Build less. Process more.

AIR2B is designed around efficient use of space, energy and infrastructure.

Stainless-steel rearing bedsfor long life and heat evacuation.

Fresh-air supply and exhaustHVAC ducts integrated into the platform.

Heat recuperationfrom active floors to early-stage floors.

Vertical architecturereduces the building footprint.
