Sistema de monitorización y control de cultivo de flores utilizando internet de las cosas iot en la estación de primavera “Dalton Farms” de New Jersey – USA

Abstract

This technical project aims to monitor and control the cultivation of flowers using IoT on the Dalton Farms farm, for which several sensors and actuators and an embedded system called ESP32 were used. The sensor signals (PH, soil humidity, ambient humidity, temperature) are collected in the growing area and sent to the Thinger.io platform to display their values and graphs on the appropriately designed dashboard, also from this page. Certain remote controls can be performed in case of emergency. The ESP32 was programmed in an Arduino IDE with the Core properly installed and configured. The results obtained are those expected, such as a decrease in the use of labor, better quality in the crop and a reduction in the cost of production. In conclusion, monitored and controlled cultivation systems can help save up to 50% of water, labor and others compared to outdoor crops.
