How to upgrade traditional greenhouses to smart greenhouses?

Intelligent greenhouses can achieve high yields throughout the year and improve economic benefits by directly adjusting various factors such as temperature, light, moisture, and fertilizer inside the greenhouse. Therefore, they are highly sought after by the market and industry. Intelligent greenhouse construction or renovation projects are also increasing in various regions. However, after investigation, it was found that most greenhouses are still semi automated and require a large amount of manual work, making it impossible to achieve intelligent automation control. Below is an introduction to the transformation and upgrading of simple greenhouses to intelligent greenhouses based on the existing ones of farmers.

However, in the past, facility agriculture greenhouses faced challenges such as relying on experience, high labor intensity, soil compaction, soil fertility, and pesticide abuse over time. So how can we upgrade our facility agriculture greenhouses developed in recent years to intelligent greenhouses, and what are the advantages of truly intelligent greenhouses?

1、 Liberate productive forces

Intelligent greenhouse is built on the basis of mechanized greenhouse, such as electric coil ventilation, fan water curtain exhaust, electric track harvesting truck, and integrated irrigation technology for water and fertilizer, which reduces manual labor and labor intensity.

2、 Analyze and save energy

The intelligent greenhouse's built-in IoT control system has data analysis capabilities, combined with our administrator's settings for plant growth, utilizing shading, ventilation, heating, and cooling systems to regulate the environment inside the greenhouse and achieve energy conservation.

3、 Remote control and monitoring

Our smart greenhouse comes standard with outdoor weather stations, indoor temperature, lighting, carbon dioxide concentration, soil temperature and humidity sensors. We can remotely view real-time climate data inside the greenhouse and improve greenhouse management efficiency.

Simple greenhouse is a popular type of greenhouse, which is easy to construct and has low cost. It is the most acceptable type of greenhouse for farmers. During construction, it can be tailored to local conditions, with very flexible width and length, and can be dismantled and transferred at any time. The renovation of a simple greenhouse depends on how to save daily labor. The daily labor operations of a simple greenhouse include opening the rolling shutters on both sides and watering operations. We can start from these two aspects.

After replacing the basic hardware equipment, the electric film rolling machine can climb up and down along the climbing tube or swing up and down using the lifting and shrinking rod to complete the ventilation operation on both sides of the greenhouse. All electric film rolling machines can be operated in bulk with just one click, and all ventilation and cooling operations can be completed within a few minutes, allowing for timely temperature control of the greenhouse. In addition, by collecting the temperature and humidity inside the greenhouse and setting the temperature conditions, the greenhouse can be automatically controlled without the need for manual intervention to achieve intelligent temperature and humidity control. The intelligent transformation of watering operations in simple greenhouses is relatively simple. Simply install an electromagnetic valve at the outlet of each greenhouse's pipeline. When in use, you can directly open the electromagnetic valve of a greenhouse through mobile phone operation to complete the watering operation.

With just these two simple renovations, a simple greenhouse can be transformed into a smart greenhouse and an intelligent greenhouse. Not only can simple greenhouses be transformed, but also sunlight greenhouses and multi story greenhouses can be transformed into intelligent greenhouses.
