Overview:
IoT technology enables real-time monitoring and automation of greenhouse conditions to ensure an optimal environment for plant growth. By integrating sensors with cloud-based analytics and mobile applications, farmers can remotely control temperature, humidity, lighting, and ventilation.
How It Works?
-
Data Collection
- Sensors measure key environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, light intensity, and CO₂ levels.
- Soil moisture sensors detect water levels in the growing medium.
-
Data Processing & Automation
- The collected data is sent to a cloud platform for analysis.
- If conditions deviate from the optimal range, the system either sends alerts or triggers automated actions.
- Examples of automation:
- Turning on fans or opening vents when temperatures rise too high.
- Activating the irrigation system when soil moisture drops.
- Adjusting artificial lighting when natural sunlight is insufficient.
-
Remote Monitoring & Control
- Real-time access via a mobile app or web-based dashboard.
- Instant alerts if environmental changes pose risks to plant health.
Key Benefits of Smart Greenhouse Monitoring
✅ Increased Crop Yield & Quality
- Plants grow in ideal conditions, leading to higher production and better quality harvests.
✅ Efficient Resource Management
- Reduces water, energy, and fertilizer waste by automating only when necessary.
✅ Prevention of Environmental Damage
- Predicts and prevents conditions that could harm crops, such as overwatering, drought, or extreme temperatures.
✅ Flexible & Real-Time Monitoring
- Farmers can oversee greenhouse conditions anytime and anywhere via smartphone or computer.
Use Cases
🔹 Hydroponic Greenhouses – Control temperature and humidity for optimal vegetable growth (e.g., lettuce, tomatoes).
🔹 Flower Cultivation – Maintain precise lighting and ventilation for high-quality blooms.
🔹 Large-Scale Farming – Manage multiple greenhouses with a single integrated system.
