Big data platform development for environmental monitoring in plant factory

Abstract

LED plant factory is a kind of labor-saving production, which is seldom controlled by natural conditions. Based on the mass data of the plant factory, this paper designed a big data management platform which combined with Hadoop distributed cluster and traditional MySQL database.The temperature, humidity, CO2 concentration and illuminance in plant factory can be transferred to the big data platform by wireless transmission network.And then the mass data will be stored, retrieved, and managed by Hadoop framework and the MapReduce programming model. Analysis result can be used to monitor plant growth environment and increase crop yield.
