Identification & Background
Name of the project | Adaptive and Sustainable Intelligent Cultivation System
Acronym: SUSTAiN
The SUSTAiN project envisions the design of a controlled-environment system complemented by an optimized light-exposure component. A wireless sensor network will be deployed to acquire data such as light intensity, pH, electrical conductivity, dissolved solids, among other relevant parameters. This information, processed through artificial intelligence algorithms, will be used to control the lighting modules and irrigation system, with the objective of optimizing the production process and increasing overall efficiency through improved resource utilization, particularly water. Another key aspect of the project involves studying the qualitative and quantitative impact of light exposure on fruit growth, with the goal of determining the optimal exposure percentage for each crop across all vegetative stages. This approach enables the production of higher-quality products while responding to the growing consumer demand for sustainably produced foods.
