Design and Implementation of A Smart Greenhouse

This thesis proposes a design for a smart greenhouse that aims to require less human labor and provide higher efficiency. The designed system measures air temperature, humidity, soil temperature, and moisture with sensors. It then controls mechanical devices like ventilation, heating, and irrigation automatically based on pre-defined rules analyzing the measurements. This automation is meant to reduce the human labor needed for irrigation and ventilation. The thesis compares two identical greenhouses, one managed by the smart system and the other managed traditionally, finding that the smart greenhouse yields a larger harvest and shorter growing period than the traditional one.

In this thesis, a smart greenhouse design is proposed. The aim of the designed smart
greenhouse is to employ less human power and to provide higher efficiency. In the
designed system, air temperature, air humidity, soil temperature and soil moisture are
measured by sensors. As a result of the analysis of the measurements, the control of
mechanical appliances such as ventilation, heating and irrigation are provided accord-
ing to the pre-defined rules. Such automation helps us reduce the amount of human
power for irrigation and ventilation. Two greenhouses with the same characteristics
were used for system comparison in the thesis. One is managed by the smart system,
while the other is traditionally managed. Common to both greenhouses, human power
was used for pruning control, pruning and harvesting. In the traditionally controlled
greenhouse, human power is used for all operations. The crop growth period was
shorter in the greenhouse managed by the proposed smart system. The smart green-
house yields a larger amount of harvest in comparison to the traditional greenhouse.
As a future work, other types of vegetables can be cultivated.
