Problem:

Polyhouse is a type of greenhouse where specialized polythene sheet is used as a covering material under which the crops can be grown in partially or fully controlled climatic conditions.

Real time Monitoring and Controlling of Poly house system is the challenge, and it involves less manual intervention and required continuous control of the system. Farmers having less control over all farming parameter like airflow, humidity, Level, TDS, PH, Conductivity and temperature in polyhouses without automation and monitoring system.

lack of technology adoption is partly responsible for the yield gap and loss in farming.

Solution:

Monitoring & Controlling Parameters of Polyhouse  ( PH, TDS, RTD, Level & etc..)  are connected to Data Acquisition system to collect data then it is communicated to PLC system for control of entire system as per the poly house design. From PLC via Profinet Communication all data connected to Ewon gateway to read all poly house process parameters to monitor remotely and control the system.

By using this configuration IIoT based remote monitoring enabled to monitor poly house parameter and data sending to cloud and monitoring remotely in PC, Mobile &Tablet. Also enabled SMS alerts configuration in gateway for alerts in case of over and under values of process parameters set values set by the Agri engineer.

Benefits:

1.  Monitoring of different climatic parameters i.e. Temperature, Relative humidity.
2.  Monitoring of Soil related parameters i.e. Soil temperature, soil pH, TDS etc.
3.  Water management through overhead (fogging) and root zone (dripping, flow table) control.
4.  Fertigation control.
5.  Remote-based automation and monitoring solution.
6.  Climatic parameter monitoring through setting of optimum range of parameters as per crop requirement.
7.  Crop history data and reporting
8. Farmer dashboard- to calculate, monitor and manage expenses and profit
