  1. Heilmeier Questions Stacy, Devin, Brandon

  2. What are we trying to do? • We are trying to implement an automated greenhouse monitor system. • Monitor and store various metrics such as light, relative humidity, soil moisture, temperature, etc. • Provide application to view this data remotely, as well as database back end to access and view past statistics. • Explore scalability

  3. How, who, what? • How is this done presently • Various sensors are monitored separately • Who is doing this? • Greenhouses, hobbyists, farmers. • What are the limitations? • Resources, costs, time

  4. What is new about our approach • Several sensors integrated into one platform that can be monitored from a single convenient application. • Information can be viewed both in real time and by querying the database of past metrics all in the same app.

  5. Why can we be successful? • “Smart” devices are on the rise ( tablets, phones, etc ). • An integrated, aesthetically pleasing, easy to use app is desirable to a wide range of markets • This includes garden enthusiasts and with proper scalability greenhouse managers.

  6. What difference does this make? • Improves efficiency • Allows remote care of plants. • Allows user to be constantly plugged in to their agricultural operation, resulting in better care and plant yield.

  7. Progress Estimations • Time to complete • 2 Semesters ( includes planning, part ordering, design, implementation, data collection, and testing ) • Metrics • Ability to integrate sensors • Integrity of data collected from sensors • Success in data collection • Living plants • Cost • Estimated: $300-$400
