Continuous Crop Weight Measurement Sensor Calibration Algorithm for Industrial Greenhouse

Nowadays industrial greenhouses are implementing various Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, allowing to easily integrate sensor technologies with wireless communications and create cloud-based database solutions. For industrial greenhouses, one of an important parameter is irrigation of crop and also crop biomass growth during the day. Paper deals with the development of IoT based weight sensor for continuous weight measurements in an industrial greenhouse environment, practical data analysis, and new algorithm development for measurement precision improvement. Real measurements are described and results of two algorithm application are compared.
