In this project, a smart and ecological system is developed for managing and controlling cultivation, remotely and in real time. In particular, the system is self-sustained since it utilizes physical resources, that is, solar power from photo-voltaic units and water from natural sources. Moreover, it uses data from a network of sensors regarding humidity, soil-temperature, air-temperature in the f
ields to help farmers decide if the crop requires irrigation, fertilization and spraying. The system is able to monitor greenhouses as well; since it automatically monitors the pressure and air in the greenhouse through fans and windows that are remotely controlled for changing the condition of the environment based on the sensors’ measurements. The system supports automation as well as remote monitoring and management via a smartphone. Finally, the systems provides important information and historical data to the user/farmer for tracking actions on the plants as well as for optimizing cultivation, in general.
