IoT components for floriculture automation

Abstract

The use of Internet of things (IoT), is achieving very encouraging results regarding costing, predictions, situations that reduce crops’ productivity and profitability. In Ecuador, growers are limited about the use of technological means, often by the lack of automated tools. Harvest cut rose correlates with variables such as temperature, humidity, light, radiation, air quality, among other climatic factors related to the physiology of plant growth. The use of specialized sensors and its implementation on the fields that monitor climate variables allow growers, to anticipate possible problems by predicting crops, presence of pests, seasons with lack of light, reducing cost implementation and understanding the physiology of the rose and the effective management of greenhouse of roses.
