Abstract:
Water and land are both considered limited resources. A new farming technique was introduced to
solve this issue which is Vertical Farming. This technique is one of the best solutions because it
improves global food security and addresses environmental degradation issues. Moreover, no harvest
would be harmed by a severe weather event, and it can quickly minimize the cooling and heating of
water by indoor temperature.
Manual controlling and monitoring processes in this technique are complicated, and the labor cost is
expensive. This project aims to save users efforts by affording practical controlling and monitoring
tools and reduce the cost by providing users with a customizable module for different vertical farm
usages and scales. Also, it reduces and nearly eliminates manual labor works by affording an IoT
based monitoring and controlling Vertical Hydroponic Farm with a database that will contain all
needed information for the controlling process. Finally, the system offers the users real-time
monitoring of the system's main parameters and the ability to control the system remotely via the web
page. Moreover, the system provides information about plants which could be used by plant
researchers to understand how different parameters affect plant growth. The system is easy to use that
makes normal people who don't have agriculture knowledge able to use the system for offering house
needs of different kinds of plants.
