With the development of agricultural technology, greenhouses have become an important facility for modern agricultural production. However, traditional greenhouse planting technology often relies on manual operation, and there are many pain points, such as poor product production stability, difficult to control light time, and non-standard production management. These problems not only affect the quality and yield of products, but also increase production costs and limit the efficiency of greenhouses.
In order to solve the above problems, we proposed:Smart greenhouse solutions。The solution uses IoT technology to realize real-time monitoring and intelligent management of the greenhouse environment through devices such as sensors, edge computing gateways, and IoT platforms.
1.Sensors & Data Acquisition
In the greenhouse, we installed sensors such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, temperature and humidity, and light, and connected the edge computing gateway EG8000mini through the RS485 serial port. These sensors are able to monitor environmental parameters in the greenhouse, such as temperature, humidity, light intensity, etc., in real time, and transmit the data to the edge computing gateway.
2.Edge computing and data processing
The EG8000MINI edge computing gateway has powerful data processing capabilities and can process the data collected by sensors at the edge. Through the analysis of the data, the gateway is able to understand the environmental conditions in the greenhouse in real time and make adjustments accordingly. In addition, the edge computing gateway can also transmit data to the ThingsKit IoT platform for centralized management and analysis of data.
3.Internet of Things platform and smart greenhouse management platform
IoT Platform receives and processes data from edge computing gateways and visualizes the data on the smart greenhouse management platform. The management platform provides rich functions, such as environmental parameter setting, equipment control, data analysis, etc., to help users achieve comprehensive management of greenhouses.
4.Equipment control and information collection
Through the smart greenhouse management platform, users can issue control commands to the edge computing gateway. The IO port of the IO expansion module connected to the gateway is used to control and collect operation information of equipment such as fans, pumps, and water curtains. This enables users to manage the equipment in the greenhouse in a unified manner and achieve automated and intelligent production management.
1.Stable production: Through data calculation and background control, the environment is guaranteed to be the most suitable for plant growth and the growth of plants is stabilized. This helps to improve the quality and yield of products, reduce production costs, and achieve stable production.
2.Optimize the living environment: After the platform is analyzed, it will issue orders for ventilation and light in time to keep the living environment in the most suitable range for plant growth. This provides the best environment for the plants to grow and increases their growth efficiency.
3.Cost reduction: By changing the environment in the greenhouse according to real-time weather conditions, unnecessary waste is reduced and costs are reduced. At the same time, automated and intelligent management also reduces the need for manual intervention, further reducing operating costs.
4.Improve production efficiency: Through intelligent management, the environmental parameters in the greenhouse can be monitored in real time, and the operating status of the equipment can be adjusted in time, so as to improve production efficiency. This helps to improve the output efficiency of the greenhouse and meet the market demand.
5.Easy to manage and monitor: The smart greenhouse management platform provides intuitive data display and equipment control functions, which is convenient for users to manage and monitor. This allows users to easily grasp the operation status of the greenhouse and identify and solve problems in a timely manner.
Through the implementation of smart greenhouse solutions, we have successfully solved the pain points in traditional greenhouse planting technology, improved product quality and output, reduced production costs and operating costs, improved production efficiency, and met market demand. At the same time, the solution also provides users with intuitive data display and equipment control functions, which is convenient for users to manage and monitor. This is of great significance for promoting the development of modern agriculture.
