The automation of greenhouses for agriculture using PLC & SCADA can bring about a revolution in agriculture. The introduction of this system can help increase the crop in a controlled environment. The greenhouse environment, used to grow plants under controlled climatic conditions for efficient production, forms an important part of the agriculture and horticulture sectors. Appropriate environmental conditions are necessary for optimum plant growth, improved crop yields, and efficient use of water and other resources. The automation of the data acquisition process of various parameters that govern the growth of the plants allows to collect the information with less labor requirements. Existing element management systems are bulky, very expensive, difficult to maintain.
