Automated Smart Farming for Orchids with the Internet of Things and Fuzzy Logic

Abstract

In this paper, we propose an automated smart farming for Orchids (Dendrobium Sonia “Bomjo”) cultivation by applying Fuzzy logic and Internet of things (IoT) to control all the essential environment variables inside a greenhouse. Sensors for capturing environments are temperature, humidity, light, and soil moisture. The actuators consist of fogs, light bulbs (heaters), fans, sprinkler pumps, LEDs, and motors for controlling plastic curtains. The proposed system can automatically control the growth factors of orchids’ inflorescences. The results show that orchids can thrive constantly by the average growth rate about 27.38 cm. per a week.
