Computer system for plant replication - hardware implementation

Trend industrije 4.0 pretvara proizvodne sposobnosti svih industrija, uključujući i poljoprivrednu domenu. Digitalizacija poljoprivrede temelji se na razvoju i uvođenju novih alata i strojeva u proizvodnji. Povezivost je temelj ove transformacije i tehnologija Interneta stvari je ključna tehnologija koja je sve više dio poljoprivredne opreme. Još jedna važna transformacija u procesu poljoprivredne proizvodnje je rastuća uloga automatizacije koja povećava produktivnost smanjujući potrebu za ljudskom radnom snagom. Razvoj urbane poljoprivrede i robotske proizvodnje stvorio je OpenAg™ Personal Food Computer (PFC), inovativni uređaj za kontrolirano okruženje za hidroponski rast biljaka. Ovaj rad predstavlja glavni dizajn i cjelokupnu sklopovsku implementaciju PFC-a. Senzori za vodu i okoliš nadgledaju kakvoću vode i atmosferski sastav, dok web kamera prati rast i razvoj biljaka. Komponente su spojene na središnji Arduino i Raspberry Pi, koji olakšavaju prijenos i obradu podataka. Kroz tehnološki napredak, društvene alate i globalne mreže, PFC osigurava fizička, digitalna i biološka sredstva za otvorenu proizvodnju hrane, postavljajući temelje za sljedeću poljoprivrednu revoluciju.The Industry 4.0 trend is transforming the production capabilities of all industries, including the agricultural domain. Connectivity is the cornerstone of this transformation and IoT a key enabling technology that is increasingly part of agricultural equipment. Another important transformation in the agricultural production process is the rising role of automation that increases productivity by reducing the need for human workforce. Developments in urban farming and robotics have produced OpenAg™ Personal Food Computer (PFC), an innovative personal controlled-environment device for hydroponic plant growth. This paper presents the main design and whole hardware implementation of PFC. Environmental sensors monitor water quality and atmospheric composition. A webcam tracks the growth and development of plants. These components are connected to a central Arduino and Raspberry Pi, which facilitate data transfer and processing. Through technological advancements, social tools and global networks, the PFC provides the physical, digital, and biological means for open sourcing food production, launching the foundation for the next agricultural revolution
