Project overview

Chuanlu Modern Agriculture Picking Garden in Dafeng, Jiangsu, brought 56 greenhouses onto one monitoring and control system. Each house has an air-quality instrument for temperature, humidity, illuminance and carbon dioxide, and an enhanced soil sensor for moisture, temperature and NPK. Each house has a greenhouse control cabinet with 12 I/O channels, a 10-inch screen and an emergency button, for remote control of vents, roller blinds and quilts. Limit switches cap the travel so the pull does not damage the gear. Video joins the same platform, so environment and picture can be checked together.

Greenhouse control cabinet on the wall by the door, screen facing the aisle — Control cabinet at the greenhouse door

Cabinet screen showing air temperature, humidity and soil readings in the Chuanlu agriculture monitor — Screen showing in-house air and soil readings

Phone view of one greenhouse: readings, point counts and alarm counts — Per-house readings and alarms

Phone control for the south quilt, with several greenhouses selected to start or stop together — Remote quilt control across several houses

Main functions delivered

Air: live temperature, humidity, illuminance and carbon dioxide in each house
Soil: moisture, temperature and NPK captured per house
Remote control: vents, blinds and quilts start and stop on the cabinet screen or remotely
Travel limits: motion stops at the end of travel so the pull does not damage the gear; an emergency button cuts locally
Video: in-house cameras sit with environment and control in one view

Video	In-house video	Cameras as installed	Onboarded	Viewed with environment and control on one platform

The problem

There are many houses and people cannot be in each one. Air and soil only show up by walking in. Vents, blinds and quilts are pulled on site, and over-travel damages the gear. What is happening inside cannot be reviewed on demand.

What we connected

Air temperature, humidity, illuminance and carbon dioxide
Soil moisture, temperature and NPK
Remote vents, roller blinds and quilts, with limit switches
Greenhouse control cabinets and video

What we did

One set per house: air quality, soil sensing and the control cabinet install together, so data and actions stay with that house
Vents, blinds and quilts use the cabinet I/O; limit switches sit at both ends of travel
The 10-inch screen and emergency button are for people on site; remote start/stop is only under permission
Video and environment share a screen so the real state inside the house can be checked

How it was rolled out

Confirm house count, vent, blind and quilt circuits, and existing cameras
Fit one or two houses first and check air, soil data and stop-on-limit
Then copy to the remaining houses and bring video onto the same platform

Outcome

Air and soil in all 56 houses can be checked per house
Vents, blinds and quilts can be controlled remotely and stop at the end of travel
In-house video can be checked against environment data

Xiaoyunong: one phone for many fish ponds

Aerators sit in the water. Faults and leakage trip the pond supply, and a farmer asleep at the bank may not know. Debris wraps the impeller, or the pull rope snaps, and the aerator is damaged. Switching means walking the banks. Saving a little power is awkward: start late, and the fish run short of oxygen.
