Collaborative project: Development of a sensor based intelligent greenhouse management system. Subproject 2 (ProsiBor)
Project
Project code: 2815701315
Contract period: 01.09.2017
- 31.10.2020
Budget: 154,246 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research
The goal of the project 'Development of a sensor based intelligent greenhouse management system” is to establish a system for increasing the efficiency of production under glass. This system accesses on huge quantities of data recorded in different greenhouses and determines optimal culture control strategies. Furthermore, the resource consumption is calculated and can be processed further to important parameters (e.g., carbon footprint, resource input per yield unit etc.), which can be used for costumer communication or to compare the resource consumption of different enterprises. This system includes intelligent sensors, which show plant responses, such as photosynthesis, fruit growth and plant transpiration, under different cultivation conditions. In addition, different scenarios of cultivation strategies can be simulat-ed on the computer. As such, the aim is to reduce raw material consumption caused by an optimal crop management. The work plan is split into three project phases with a total of nine work packages. During the first project phase consisting of four work packages, the work is focused on the description of the system and on the definition of the system boundaries, as well as on the selection and optimization of the sensor technology. The largest part of the first project phase covers data ac-quisition, as well as the model development and the calculation of resource balances. Structur-ing and preparation of the greenhouse management system take place during the following project phase, which includes a total of three work packages. The data from the first and the second project phase must be merged into one overall system and evaluation tool have to be implemented. As such, the communication with existing systems is an important prerequisite. The third and last project phase consisting of two work packages is focused on the validation and optimization of the greenhouse management system. This phase also serves the purpose to determine strategies in order to minimize the recourse input for the production under glass.
