LabVIEW based Greenhouse Automation

Abstract

The main aim of this paper is to control the basic parameters of greenhouse using LabVIEW. LabVIEW is an environment that consists of several components which are required for any type of measurement, test or control application. This involves development of a prototype model which mimics the greenhouse system. This prototype contains beds of soil which has seeds planted in it. Small pipelines are used for irrigation of the same. As irrigation needs proper humidity and temperature control, sensors are used to control these parameters. Also the prototype has a Door monitoring system which enables better ambient conditions control. Every parameter is monitored and controlled using LabVIEW software. Web service is used for the real time applications. This enables the monitoring and control from a remote place also
