The rising demand for sustainable and high-efficiency food production motivated this project to develop an industrial-based greenhouse automation system tailored for modern agriculture. Many greenhouses still depend on manual irrigation and climate control, leading to inconsistent growth conditions and resource inefficiency. This study addresses that gap by designing a unified PLC–SCADA–IoT system that automates irrigation, temperature sensing, humidity monitoring, and exhaust fan control. The methodology integrates real-time sensor feedback with PLC logic and SCADA visualization to ensure precise environmental regulation. By delivering an industrial-grade, scalable automation framework, this work advances smart farming practices and adds significant value to controlled-environment agriculture.
