Application of Fuzzy logic and IoT in a small-scale Smart Greenhouse System

Abstract

This research aims to address the critical challenges caused by global population increase, climate change, and urbanization on food production by means of a Fuzzy Logic controller in a small-scale greenhouse and improving agricultural efficiency and sustainability.The growing global population has stressed the significance of implementing efficient food production techniques. Furthermore, the impact of climate change and extreme weather events complicates the production process. The goal of this study is to combine an innovative small greenhouse design with a fuzzy logic-based control system in order to develop an IoT-enabled self-regulating environment for autonomous plant growing.Continuous advances in technology have been focusing on automating greenhouses to provide self-regulating microclimates and optimal developmental conditions. Current trends focus on automating greenhouses to provide self-regulating microclimates. Looking ahead, the strategy entails combining automated approaches with precisely planned structures via IoT.This study's key findings include the successful integration of a fuzzy logic control system with greenhouse infrastructure, allowing for real-time monitoring and adjustment of environmental parameters, as well as the development of a pilot IoT ecosystem demonstrating the feasibility of self-regulating microclimates for improved plant growth.
