Problem statement

GRAS automates the control of sunshades and windows in a greenhouse “Oranjeria” using real-time climate data. It adjusts ventilation and light exposure based on temperature, humidity, wind, solar radiation, and rainfall to ensure optimal conditions for plant growth.

Main outcome

By implementing the GRAS system, the Greenhouse has significantly improved energy efficiency and reduced operational costs. Water consumption for irrigation has decreased substantially, and labor hours have been optimized. Automation has eliminated human errors, such as overwatering or drought stress. The system proactively responds to environmental changes by managing ventilation, heating, anti-freeze systems, and adjusting windows and shades without manual intervention. This has enhanced climate control while reducing the need for constant supervision.

Main Service/Solution Features:

In the Greenhouse, GRAS primarily controls shading and temperature. Shading is managed through blinds that lower based on sunlight intensity, detected by sensors placed outside the greenhouse. Temperature is regulated by automatically opening and closing the greenhouse windows. To prevent negative effects and ensure windows close during strong winds or heavy rain, real-time monitoring of wind speed and rainfall is conducted.
Inside the Greenhouse, temperature and humidity sensors provide data on when to adjust shading and ventilation. Before the implementation of the GRAS system, the greenhouse used a different system that did not provide real-time data. Blinds and windows were manually operated. A key advantage of GRAS is its ability to integrate with the previous system through additional settings and upgrades, maintaining the old system as a backup for emergencies.
By integrating GRAS with the existing system, real-time data transfer is enabled, allowing remote monitoring via a smartphone app or automatic process control based on collected data. The implementation of GRAS has reduced human involvement in environmental assessment and climate monitoring, resulting in increased production output.
