Embedded LabView System for Monitoring and Control Indoor Hydroponic operations

This paper presents an automatic monitoring and control system designed to increase cilantro production in hydroponic systems. The system incorporates a LabVIEW™ user interface for online monitoring and control of pump on/off cycles and artificial light intensity. Additionally, a PID fuzzy control algorithm is proposed to regulate light intensity, ensuring optimal conditions for crop growth. Experimental results demonstrate the system’s capability to accurately collect, process, and display data, as well as issue alarm signals in hydroponic farming.
