HYDROPONIC FARM WITH GROWING ZONES AND INTERNET CONTROL - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240260523 titled 'HYDROPONIC FARM WITH GROWING ZONES AND INTERNET CONTROL
The abstract describes an Internet of Things (IoT) based hydroponic farm system that includes a cloud server, multiple hydroponic farms, and user computing stations. The system utilizes real-time communication protocols to wirelessly transmit hydroponic farm information to users.
- Cloud server with data distribution service middleware for wireless communication
- Hydroponic farms divided into growing zones for different plant species
- Zone controllers for each plant growing zone
- Farm controllers assigned to each hydroponic farm
- User computing stations subscribed to data distribution service for communication with controllers
Potential Applications: - Agriculture industry for efficient plant growth monitoring - Research institutions for studying plant growth in controlled environments - Educational institutions for teaching hydroponic farming techniques
Problems Solved: - Enables real-time monitoring and control of multiple hydroponic farms remotely - Facilitates efficient plant growth management and optimization - Enhances data collection and analysis for improved decision-making
Benefits: - Increased crop yields through optimized plant growth conditions - Reduced manual labor with automated monitoring and control systems - Enhanced data-driven insights for better farm management practices
Commercial Applications: Title: "IoT Hydroponic Farming System for Enhanced Crop Yield and Management" This technology can be used in commercial hydroponic farming operations to improve productivity, reduce labor costs, and streamline farm management processes. It can also be marketed to agricultural technology companies for integration into their product offerings.
Questions about IoT Hydroponic Farming System: 1. How does the IoT system improve plant growth in hydroponic farms? The IoT system enables real-time monitoring and control of environmental conditions in hydroponic farms, allowing for precise adjustments to optimize plant growth.
2. What are the potential cost savings associated with implementing this technology in hydroponic farming operations? By automating monitoring and control processes, the IoT system can reduce labor costs and improve overall operational efficiency in hydroponic farms.
Original Abstract Submitted
an internet of things (iot) based hydroponic farm system is described. the hydroponic farm system includes a cloud server, a plurality of hydroponic farms, and a plurality of user computing stations. the cloud server includes a data distribution service domain that includes data distribution service middleware configured to use a real-time publish-subscribe protocol to wirelessly communicate hydroponic farm information. each of the hydroponic farms is divided into a plurality of hydroponic plant growing zones that are configured to grow at least one species of plant. each hydroponic plant growing zone includes a zone controller. a farm controller is assigned to each of the hydroponic farms. the plurality of user computing stations are subscribed to the data distribution service middleware and are configured to communicate, through the data distribution service domain, with the zone controller, the farm controller, a process controller, a production planning controller, and an enterprise resource planning controller.
