Abstract : The comprehensive analysis of an Internet of Things (IoT)-integrated vertical farming system, focusing on the monitoring and optimization of environmental parameters critical for plant growth. Real-time data on variables like flow rates, water quality, temperature, humidity, and moisture levels are provided by the system. It uses a variety of sensors, including as flow, pH, turbidity, ultrasonic, and DHT11 (Digital Humidity and Temperature Sensor) sensors, to achieve this. The system can maintain optimal growing conditions, according to sensor data insights, but they also highlight the necessity of precise irrigation control to account for differences in moisture content. The study demonstrates how IoT-driven vertical farming systems have the potential to transform conventional agricultural processes, promoting sustainability and productivity.
