Project Operation
The project employs a mechanism to gather and process sensor data through an IoT solution. Data is collected using hardware boards, stored in a local database, and visualized on an IoT platform. The collected data serves multiple purposes, including decision-making and automation. For instance, temperature data is used to control fans that automatically turn on when the temperature exceeds predefined thresholds. Additionally, a system is implemented to periodically activate fans to regulate humidity levels within the greenhouse. The sensor network consists of various types of sensors, including humidity sensors, temperature sensors, and data loggers. These sensors are integrated with a central data acquisition system that communicates with automated controls to adjust greenhouse conditions as needed.
Our Unique Approach
