Abstract

In this paper, a remote monitoring and control system for hydroponic cultivation using Internet of Things (IoT) technology was studied to improve the convenience, stability, and accuracy of hydroponic cultivation. The proposed system combines Raspberry Pi, Arduino, and sensors with IoT technology to measure the cultivation environment and the concentration of culture medium, It subsequently transmits this data to the PC server. In the PC, the middle server, database, and web server are built to ensure stable data transmission, storage, and processing with Raspberry Pi through TCP/IP communication. This facilitates remote monitoring and control of cultivation conditions, as well as the mixing of nutrient solutions. Therefore, monitoring and mixing of culture solutions can be conducted from anywhere, without being limited by location, time, or equipment. Users can access the management system via a web page to review and perform tasks. The proposed system provides convenience in agricultural management through remote monitoring and control while maintaining an optimized growth environment for hydroponic crops. It is expected to have the potential for application across various type of crops.

본 논문에서는 수경재배의 편리성, 안정성, 정확성의 향상을 위하여 사물인터넷(IoT) 기술을 활용한 수경재배 원격 모니터링 및 제어 시스템을 연구하였다. 제안한 시스템은 라즈베리 파이, 아두이노, 센서를 IoT 기술과 접목하여 재배 환경과 배양액의 농도 등을 측정하여 PC 서버로 전송한다. PC에서는 미들서버(Middle Server), 데이터베이스, 웹서버를 구축하여 TCP/IP 통신으로 라즈베리 파이와 안정적인 데이터 전송, 저장 및 처리를 보장한다. 이를 통해 재배환경, 배양액의 배합 등을 원격 모니터링 및 제어한다. 따라서 모니터링 및 배양액 배합은 장소, 시간 및 장비 등에 구애받지 않고 어디서나 웹페이지로 관리시스템을 접속하여 확인과 작업을 할 수 있다. 제안한 시스템은 수경재배 작물의 최적화된 생육환경을 유지하면서 원격 모니터링 및 제어로 농업 관리의 편리성을 제공하고, 다양한 작물에 적용 가능할 것으로 기대한다.
