Agricultural greenhouses, as crucial locations for agricultural production, necessitate effective monitoring and management to ensure the quality and safety of agricultural products. Through greenhouse monitoring solutions, real-time monitoring and early warning of the greenhouse environment, crop growth conditions, pests and diseases, etc., can be achieved, enhancing the efficiency and quality of agricultural production. Simultaneously, it can reduce the cost and risk of manual management, promoting the sustainability of agricultural production.
The daily operation and maintenance of agricultural greenhouses involves devices such as cameras, sensors, and controllers. Besides video surveillance, MThings can provide access and management for all other devices.
The functions of agricultural greenhouse monitoring and operation and maintenance primarily encompass the following aspects:
- Environmental Monitoring: Install sensors for temperature, humidity, light, CO2 concentration, pH value, water temperature, etc., to monitor the internal and external greenhouse environment and soil parameters in real time, adjusting and optimizing the crop growth environment. The collected sensor data can be uploaded to remote servers for analysis and processing, enabling remote monitoring.
- Intelligent Control: Utilize intelligent control systems to automate the control of water, fertilizer, temperature, humidity, CO2, light, etc., inside the greenhouse. Through data analysis and decision support systems, decisions and controls are made based on the growth status and requirements of crops, enhancing crop yield and quality.
- Alarm and Early Warning: Set up abnormal alarm and early warning systems, which can promptly issue audible and visual alarm messages and text message reminders in case of sudden environmental abnormalities, assisting farmers in taking timely measures to ensure the safety and stability of crop production.
- DataAnalysis: The system can collect and store greenhouse operation data over a long period, and through data analysis, provide seasonal summary parameters (such as average daily light compensation time, irrigation duration), aiding farmers in improving crop cultivation levels and reducing costs.
The following figure depicts a typical solution constructed in conjunction with MThings:
MThings is not only suitable for remote operation and maintenance but also provides local mobile operation and maintenance terminals (touch screens/PADs). By integrating various sensor devices to collect on-site data and incorporating I/O controllers, it can connect on-site control devices in a low-cost manner. With customized control algorithms, the solution eliminates the need for PLC devices.
