Control of a Semi-closed Plant Factory with Artificial Lighting-based on Two Different LED with NB-IoT
Main Article Content
Abstract
Plant factory artificial light (PFAL) is an effective technique for producing large amounts of crops per area and high-quality plant growth. This work aims to construct a semi-closed PFAL growth system based on NB-IoT using two types of LED arrays: phosphor-converted LED (pc-LED) and RB-LED. Next, while examining the features of the artificial light spectrum, compare the Curry leaf kale and Chinese kale in seedlings under various LED light sources. An NB-IoT module with the MAGELLAN platform monitored and controlled the temperature, humidity, and illumination of the semi-closed PFAL growing system. The results indicate that cos lettuce cultivated with PCLEDs is likely more photosynthesis-capable than cos lettuce grown with RBLEDs. Compared to RB-LED, the average fresh weight of the cos lettuce from PC-LED was significantly higher. The data gathered from the cloud system under the MAGELLAN platform during the 7-day trial, the control of lighting and watering in the semi-closed PFAL system, and the measurement results of environmental factors were all accurately completed. Organic veggies could be grown in a home or school using the semi-PFAL growing technique.
