The modern monitoring and control systems that are currently used in most fields are based on intelligent algorithms, distributed management systems, and a new generation of communication buses. For the monitoring and control of the processes inside a greenhouse, the use of sophisticated algorithms or complex devices is not required. However, to make the activity more efficient and increase the production of a greenhouse, a proposed solution is to use data management and control system such as PLC and HMI devices,...

Fast increase of Earth population during the last decades raised a serious problem when it came to providing fresh and good quality food (mainly vegetables) in big quantity over a short period of time. Due to relatively long lifecycles of plants when growing in gardens or fields, the best solution consisted in using greenhouses. Greenhouses proved to be a very important solution since they are capable of operating regardless of local environments if minimum requirements (heating and water) are provided. By offerin...

The Internet and computer networks development led to the development of data acquisition and monitoring systems, becoming nowadays a necessity. This paper proposes the development of applications to monitoring parameters, both local and remote; the parametersпїЅ values are derived from a micro-weather station. Two interfaces are implemented for monitoring parametersпїЅ values: the first one is a part of a wireless sensors network (named eKoView), and the second one is implemented in C# and running on a color oper...
