Abstract
The floor plan of a plant factory with artificial lighting (PFAL) and layouts of equipment and culture (or cultivation) beds are designed to achieve efficient operations by workers and smooth flows of materials such as the plants and supplies in the plant production system. In addition, it is essential that the PFAL be designed and operated to maintain a high level of sanitation for food safety. However, PFALs are relatively new production systems, so the optimum production technologies have not yet been established and there is much room for improvement in the plant production process. This chapter describes the state of the art regarding the plant production process, as well as the floor plan and layouts of equipment and culture beds of a PFAL, and also discusses sanitation.
