“Greenhouse and Plant Automation in Soilless Agriculture” Project Successfully Completed at Our University

Senior students of the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Ercan Uygun, Celal Yapıcıoğlu, Fatih Başaran, and Mustafa Ceylan, successfully completed their graduation project titled “Greenhouse and Plant Automation in Soilless Agriculture” under the supervision of Asst. Prof. Dr. Mustafa Mikail Özçiloğlu.

The project enables the real-time adjustment of all environmental and nutrient requirements of plants through a touchscreen interface, according to their growth conditions and developmental stages. Within the system, greenhouse temperature and humidity levels, the EC and pH values of the nutrient solution, as well as the quantity and temperature of the nutrient-enriched water in the tank, are continuously monitored. The measured values are compared with user-defined set values entered via the touchscreen, allowing the system to automatically maintain the optimal environmental and nutrient conditions required for plant growth. In this way, ideal cultivation conditions can be sustained throughout the production process.

The project was also designed to allow minor modifications and system adjustments without altering its overall structure, enabling control via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi connectivity. This feature provides remote monitoring and management capabilities, allowing users to supervise and control the entire system from a distance.

Offering comprehensive remote-control functionality, the technology developed through this project introduces an innovative perspective to modern greenhouse cultivation and soilless agricultural practices.
