How are licensed Cannabis growers using IoT in Greenhouses today?<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Before we jump into this article let\u2019s first define some terms that may be new to you:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

IoT:\u00a0 The Internet of Things:<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Internet of Things<\/a> is a system of interrelated computing devices, sensors and digital that are provided with unique identifiers and the ability to transfer data in real time over a network without requiring any human interaction.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Smart Greenhouse:<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A smart greenhouse<\/a> is a revolution in agriculture, creating a self-regulating, internal climate suitable for plant growth through the use of sensors, motors, and monitoring and control systems that optimize growth conditions and automate the growing process with the use of computer software.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What is the future of agriculture using IoT and can we perfectly tune greenhouse crops to produce the best results?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To answer the first question, I will use a quote that my Dad repeated to me over the course of my life, at least thousands of times\u2026<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

The Future is Automation!<\/h4>\n<\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

By using IoT, greenhouse controls and computer software we can perfectly create the best growing environments for all crops with the help of a greenhouse control and monitoring system<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

Wireless Mesh Networks, Sensors and the Automated Greenhouse<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

You may be asking yourself, how does all this IoT smart greenhouse work? Well, we start with temperature and humidity sensors that \u201creads<\/em><\/strong>\u201d the greenhouse environment. This collected data is then processed by the climate control computer.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Grower High\/Low set-points are programmed into the greenhouse automation software and if growing conditions get out of range the remote monitoring systems will trigger any necessary action needed to balance out the greenhouse again.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Data-Driven Greenhouse Growing<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take a simple example, a temperature sensor in Zone 1 reads a low alarm as there is too much cold air in that section of the greenhouse operation. The software automatically triggers the boiler to turn on the heat to recover the zone temperature.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Complete<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This type of real-time greenhouse monitoring and control produces optimal growing environments year-round.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This means true peace of mind for growers and greenhouse owners, as they no longer have to worry about manually correcting, heating, cooling, ventilation, misting, shading or lighting control. Environmental greenhouse temperature control can bring your greenhouse into the future, today. Here is a short video explaining how we use IoT for greenhouse automation.<\/p>\n
