Embedded Sensor System with Wireless Communication for Greenhouse

Abstract

Greenhouse environment is unpredictable irregular nonlinear multi-parameter and volatile structure To gain high and quality yield it is necessary to control the greenhouse environment according to crop requirement and for that design and analyze the embedded sensor system with wireless communication for greenhouse is prerequisite The blueprint of system is such that it is compatible to technically less proficient farmer of developing countries The system is designed with DAQ card for data acquisition and analysis that is compatible with Graphical User Interface LabVIEW which helps the user to easily monitor and analyze the state of greenhouse environment Based on the data analysis any farmer can take decisions like when to irrigate the crops and when to enable the cooling system Actions based on the data analysis from the system may lead to better crop yield and less wastage of the resources To make the system energy efficient a data averaging energy efficient algorithm is used in software By analyzing the recorded data received from sensor node an efficient strategy for node placement is designed to cover maximum area of greenhouse
