The irrigation system can be adjusted to a variety of specific
crop needs and requires minimum maintenance. The modular
configuration of the automated irrigation system allows it to
be scaled up for larger greenhouses or open fields. In addition,
other applications such as temperature monitoring in compost
production can be easily implemented. The Internet controlled
duplex communication system provides a powerful decision-
making device concept for adaptation to several cultivation
scenarios. Furthermore, the Internet link allows the supervision
through mobile telecommunication devices, such as a smart-
phone.
