Description
Smart Vertical Farming Automation System (PLC + IoT Integrated)
Transform your indoor farm into a fully automated, data-driven growing environment with our industrial-grade smart vertical farming solution. Designed for reliability, scalability, and precision, this system combines PLC control with IoT intelligence to deliver consistent crop yield, reduced operational risk, and complete remote visibility.
🚀 Why This System Stands Out
Unlike basic IoT-only setups, this solution is built on a three-tier architecture:
- Tier 1: Industrial PLC / Grow Controller (real-time, fail-safe control)
- Tier 2: Local HMI with historian (monitoring + automation logic)
- Tier 3: Cloud IoT layer (analytics, alerts, remote access)
This hybrid approach ensures mission-critical operations never depend on the cloud, while still unlocking powerful insights and remote management.
🌡️ Core Automation Functions
Climate Control
Maintain optimal growing conditions with precise control of:
- Temperature & humidity (RH, VPD)
- CO₂ enrichment
- Airflow, ventilation, and dehumidification
💧 Irrigation & Fertigation
Fully automated nutrient and water delivery:
- pH and EC control
- Dosing pumps (A/B nutrients, acid/base)
- Flow, pressure, and recirculation monitoring
💡 Smart Lighting Control
Maximize plant growth and energy efficiency:
- Photoperiod scheduling
- LED dimming (0–10V / DALI)
- PAR/PPFD validation
🚨 Water Safety & Protection
Prevent costly failures with:
- Leak detection systems
