Fully Automated Smart Greenhouse

Overview

The Sanota Smart Greenhouse (Fertigation & Plant Monitoring System), developed by Sanota (Pvt) Ltd, is an intelligent agricultural automation system designed to modernize greenhouse operations and controlled-environment agriculture. By integrating Internet of Things (IoT) sensors, automated environmental controls, and precision nutrient delivery, the platform transforms traditional cultivation into a data-driven, highly efficient operation.

Key Features & Technical Capabilities

1. Precision Fertigation & Automated Irrigation

• Nutrient & Water Dosing: Automatically dispenses calibrated water and fertilizer directly to the root zones based on crop type, lifecycle stage, and sensor feedback.

• Custom Scheduling: Supports rotational irrigation timetables, zone-based watering, and threshold-triggered dosing to prevent over-fertilization and nutrient runoff.

2. Multi-Parameter IoT Sensor Network

• Soil & Root Health: Continuous tracking of soil moisture, Electrical Conductivity (EC), pH levels, and primary macronutrients—Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium (NPK).

• Atmospheric & Climate Metrics: Real-time sensing of ambient temperature, relative humidity, and Carbon Dioxide levels.

3. Intelligent Environmental & Climate Control

• Automated Climate Regulation: Activates cooling fans, ventilation units, or mister/fogger systems automatically when temperature or humidity breaches optimal ranges.

• Adaptive Lighting Support: Capable of adjusting supplemental lighting intensity according to plant growth phases.

4. Remote Management & Cloud Dashboard

• Web & Mobile Application: Dedicated interface displaying live sensor telemetry, historical trends, operational logs, and status dashboards.

• Dual Operating Modes: Operates fully autonomously based on preset thresholds or allows manual override for direct equipment control from anywhere.

• Proactive Alerts: Sends instant notifications when sensor readings deviate from target parameters.

Operational Benefits

• Resource Conservation: Precision delivery reduces water consumption by up to 90% and minimizes fertilizer waste through accurate dosing.

• Labor & Cost Reduction: Automates repetitive tasks such as routine watering, fertigation mixing, and temperature monitoring, cutting operational labor demands by approximately 50%.

• Improved Crop Quality & Yield: Consistent, optimal microclimate and nutrient conditions support balanced plant development, typically increasing harvest yields by 15% to 25%.

• Scalable Architecture: Modular design suited for small-to-medium greenhouse setups, commercial hydroponics/nethouses, and industrial agricultural facilities.
