As unpredictability intensifies, it’s no surprise that growers are turning to advanced technologies to boost production efficiency and crop resilience. In agriculture, smart greenhouses are considered such a typical example. A smart greenhouse is the ideal union of nature and the best of modern technology. Imagine a fully computerized system which allows you to control every minute detail of your greenhouse with an application on your mobile phone and that’s exactly what people call a smart greenhouse. Everything from light-saturation and temperature control to the moisture in the soil inside, the system enables you to control all of it with just a few taps. In fact, it auto-adjusts the in-house weather conditions to maintain the necessary environment when the weather outside changes. The best part about smart greenhouses is that they can more or less be fitted into most types of covered structures, be it a hoop or a post and rafter. You don’t need to worry about which side it’s facing either.
In applications, we can see that smart greenhouses are bringing together conventional agricultural systems and new technologies for complete visibility and automation. For example, in small greenhouses, equipped with modern sensor and communications technologies, smart greenhouses automatically capture and deliver information 24/7 on the surroundings and crop. Collected data is fed into an IoT platform where analytical algorithms turn it into actionable intelligence to uncover bottlenecks and abnormalities. Continuous data monitoring facilitates the development of predictive models to assess crop disease and infection risks. Besides, by unlocking massive crop insights, a smart greenhouse allows growers to minimize labor work, improve efficiency in resource and chemical use while optimizing yield rates.
In the modern times, as solar greenhouses make a hit in agriculture for a long time, IoT sensors allow farmers to collect various data points at unprecedented granularity. They provide real-time information on critical climate factors including, temperature, humidity, light exposure and carbon dioxide across the greenhouse. This data prompts relevant adjustments to HVAC and lighting settings to maintain the best conditions for plant growth while driving energy efficiency. In parallel, motion/acceleration sensors help identify doors that are unintentionally left open to ensure a strictly controlled environment.
