MAIT ECE Students Won First Prize in Hackathon at ADGITM / NIEC

IEEE ADGITM, the official technical society of ADGITM organised a 24 hr hackathon : T- HACKS 2.0 in collaboration with the CSE department.  This year “Intelligent Greenhouse System” developed by the students of the ECE Department, Muskaan Kapahi, Sarthak Chhabra, Simran Munjal and Tushar Paul, under the guidance of Mr. Hemant Tulsiani secured first position in the competition.

The competition was hosted by Akhilesh Das Gupta Institute of Technology and Management, Delhi on 9th - 10th October 2019 and more than 35 teams from different colleges participated in this competition.

Intelligent Greenhouse System

It will monitor the temperature, moisture, humidity and sunlight received by the plant and turn on fan, motor pump and light bulb accordingly to keep the plant in an optimal condition.

We have recorded the data provided by the sensors and prepared a dataset which is used to predict future values of environmental variables using linear regression algorithms.

So with a large enough dataset we can predict the nature of the plant’s requirements without the use of any sensors. 

The data acquired is used in real time to improve the accuracy of the sensors as well as to expand the dataset.

When applied on a large scale the number of sensors deployed will reduce significantly as compared to a standard smart green house as the algorithm used would predict characteristics of the whole greenhouse by taking minimal input from the sensors.

This would help in reducing the amount of water consumed, electicity used as well as man-power required.
