Monitoring and control system and method for plant factory based on TV white spaces

摘要

A monitoring and control system and method for a plant factory based on TV white spaces (TVWSs) are disclosed. The monitoring and control system for the plant factory includes a sensor assembly installed inside and outside a plant factory and measuring an environmental state, an actuator assembly installed inside the plant factory and creating a growing environment, and a central data processing assembly assigning a TV white space (TVWS) channel to the sensor assembly and the actuator assembly, receiving the environmental state from the sensor assembly through the TVWS channel, generating a control signal controlling the actuator assembly to meet a predetermined conditions for an internal environment of the plant factory for an optimal state of growth of crops in response to the environmental state, and transmitting the control signal to the actuator assembly through the TVWS channel.
