Prototype SE-01

Smart greenhouse

A 15 × 10 m greenhouse that controls its own ventilation and irrigation from sensor data.

StatusIn design and prototyping. Drawings are principle sketches.

Purpose

  • More reliable production despite heat and the dry season
  • Supply water only when the soil needs it
  • Reduce manual monitoring

How

  • Temperature, air humidity and soil moisture sensors
  • Motorised vents driven by crop thresholds
  • Three circuits: drip, micro-sprinklers, crop protection

For whom

  • Market gardeners and cooperatives
  • Agricultural projects and NGOs
  • Schools and training centres
