Today, with the increase in global population and the limitation of water resources and agricultural land, traditional agriculture no longer meets the needs. In the meantime, modern agriculture, relying on new technologies such as "vertical farming" (vertical cultivation) and "hydroponics" (cultivation without soil), has provided a smart solution. But success in these methods is impossible without the use of intelligent control systems. In this article, we examine the importance of designing, building and implementing the automation of vertical farming and hydroponic greenhouses and examine the role of "Neshat Academy" in training specialists in this field.

Why is automation vital in modern greenhouse farming?

In modern agricultural methods, all plant growth factors, including temperature, humidity, light intensity, and nutrient concentration, must be controlled as precisely as possible. The smallest human error can destroy the entire product in a production cycle. Design and manufacture of greenhouse automation allows farmers to establish ideal conditions for plant growth and maximize productivity.

When we talk about greenhouse automation, we mean the use of sensors, controllers (PLC) and monitoring software that automatically manage environmental parameters. Understanding this necessity, Neshat Academy has designed advanced courses for engineers and those interested in this industry.

Automation in hydroponics: precise nutrient management

Due to the high sensitivity of the roots to the nutrient solution, hydroponic systems require the most accurate design and construction of automation. In an automatic hydroponic system, EC (electrical conductivity) and pH parameters should be monitored online.

With greenhouse automation, the devices automatically inject the right dose into the tank as soon as the nutrient concentration changes. This level of accuracy is unattainable by manual method. Specialists trained in Neshat Academy learn how to implement these control systems using PLC and inverters.

Vertical Farming and the need for intelligent control

In vertical farming, plants are stacked on different floors. This makes it very challenging to manage light and temperature distribution. Automation design and construction for these greenhouses includes the following:

• Manage the intensity of artificial lights (LED Grow Lights) based on the time of day.
• Even distribution of temperature and humidity in the upper and lower floors.
• Intelligent control of air circulation and ventilation.

Neshat Academy, as a leader in the education of industrial electrical systems, conveys all the necessary knowledge to implement these infrastructures to its students. Executing greenhouse automation in a vertical way without specialized knowledge of electricity and control leads to very high energy loss, which can be fixed with basic training.

Design and construction stages of greenhouse automation

In order to achieve a stable system, it is necessary to go through standard steps in designing and building automation:

The role of Nishat Academy in training automation specialists

Many activists in the field of modern agriculture, for designing and manufacturing automation, are facing the problem of lack of specialist manpower. Neshat Academy has created a bridge between academic knowledge and the real needs of the labor market by holding practical courses in electricity and industrial automation.

If you are looking to work on automation design and construction projects, or if you plan to make your greenhouse system as smart as possible, Nishat Academy will provide you with all the technical skills needed to implement greenhouse automation with the help of experienced professors and modern equipment.

Advantages of implementing greenhouse automation for investors

Investment in modern agriculture is profitable when production costs are reduced. Careful design and build automation minimizes manpower costs, water and energy consumption. By implementing greenhouse automation, you will have a 24-hour error-free system that will greatly increase the quality of the final product.

Students of Nishat Academy learn how to monitor greenhouse performance even remotely using the Internet of Things (IoT) and monitoring systems. This knowledge creates a high added value for experts in the field of automation.

conclusion

Agricultural industry is changing and combining "technology" with "agriculture" means more profit and sustainability. Designing, building and implementing the automation of vertical farming and hydroponic greenhouses requires specialized knowledge in electricity, PLC and instrumentation.

If you are active in Karaj or all over Iran and want to enter this field, Neshat Academy is the best choice to acquire technical and operational skills. At Nishat Academy, we prepare you for the big challenges of automation design and construction so that you can confidently manage complex projects implementation of greenhouse automation.
