An IoT Based Smart Hydroponics – Plant Automation BOT

Abstract

Traditional Agriculture is unpredictable and very desirable. The sector has many problems like limited resources, financing, labour and land. With these problems, it becomes harder to get high yields. This is the present case in India, where the condition of farming is much better in developed western countries but even they are subjected to similar problems. Over the years, there is a need for increased output from agriculture to meet the needs of the population. Luckily, there have been alternative ways to traditional agriculture. One such different method is Hydroponics. Over the years, Hydroponics is a type of method of growing plants on less land and with fewer resources. Present hydroponics farms require some human interactions. We propose an automation solution for these Hydroponics systems. This method of farming reuses the majority of water and so saves around 90% of the water. Adding automation into the picture can help scale farms without worrying about the workforce and additionally data received.
