LoRa helps smart agriculture - remote monitoring solution for agricultural greenhouses

The intelligent remote monitoring system for agricultural greenhouses can accurately collect temperature, humidity, light intensity, and carbon dioxide concentration lamp parameters, implement manual intervention when necessary, adapt to the production of different crops, reduce the probability of pests and diseases, and thus increase the economy.

The system is mainly composed of sample collection system, data transmission system, central control processing system, human-computer interaction system, and automatic control system.

The sample collection system is mainly composed of low-power sensors, which can actively wake up and accurately collect sample quantities such as temperature and humidity according to the set time, and automatically enter low-power sleep mode when idle, reduce standby power consumption, and thus reduce maintenance costs.

The data transmission system is mainly composed of IoT transmission units. LoRa nodes have the characteristics of low power consumption, long distance, and strong anti-interference ability, providing a good carrier for data transmission. The LoRa gateway can collect and summarize the data reported by multiple nodes, and then use the IoT transmission protocol to transmit the data to the central control processing system over long distances through WiFi, 4G, Ethernet, etc.

The central control processing system integrates the collected data and realizes the automatic operation of the entire system through program control. At the same time, due to its remote transmission capability, it can be unattended and automatically operated.

The human-computer interaction system mainly displays and processes the data in the central control processing system in a graphical way, and intuitively displays it to the personnel on duty through display screens and other means, and can realize flexible editing of the interface.

The automatic control system mainly includes water pumps, roller shutters and other execution period components, which can realize manual intervention under some harsh conditions, such as timed sprinkler irrigation and fixed-point pest control.

All systems work together to provide an ideal growth environment for crops, and the automatic operation of the system can reduce the labor intensity of people, improve the utilization rate of equipment, and thus reduce labor costs and maintenance costs.

Project composition

Solution value

Convenience of operation: Each system runs independently, the system software has complete functions, the interface is modularized and graphically designed, and it is easy to get started.

Practicality: Due to the wide distribution of agricultural land, the widely covered 4G and 5G mobile communication technologies are used in remote areas to ensure the stable transmission of data.

Easy to maintain: Remote control commands can be directly issued through the central control processing system, including remote parameter setting, remote debugging, etc.

Stability: Industrial-grade design, stable and reliable.
