»
»
Monitoring environmental variables for
productivity, growth and quality of a plant
Tracing down the local climate parameters in
the different parts of greenhouses
Using cabling for monitoring is expensive,
vulnerable and not portable

Purposes
»
»
»
Periodically measure the temperature and light levels
inside the greenhouse
Notify the greenhouse manager in case of a critical
change in one of the measurements via E – mail and
SMS.
Major goal is to increase the productivity and quality of
the plants in a greenhouse without observing it whole
day.

How it works
»
Nodes in the sensor field measure periodically the temperature,
light and humidity.
»
They send the measurements to gateway and then the server.
»
The server will insert the data into a database.
»
The web application will
provide a user interface
to analyze the condition
in greenhouse.
