PURPOSE:
To monitor the phyto state (diameter, maturity and quantity of tomatoes) and the state of the atmosphere (carbon dioxide concentration, temperature and air humidity) in closed ground structures (greenhouses) to form management strategies.
DESCRIPTION:
The cultivation of plant products in closed ground structures – modern greenhouse plants – is accompanied by significant energy costs (in the structure of production costs, their share reaches 70%). A mobile robotic electrical complex is able to move around the greenhouse using technological guides and provides monitoring of the main parameters of the greenhouse atmosphere, phytomonitoring, including product quality, while identifying its zones. Management strategies for electrical complexes that provide growing technology are formed based on the information received from the robotic electrical complex, maximizing production profit at the moment.
