OrchiZen: Hybrid Integrated Smart Farming System for Orchid Plantations

Abstract

OrchiZen is a hybrid integrated smart farming system designed for orchid cultivation, leveraging Machine Learning (ML) and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies to address key horticultural challenges, including irrigation, disease treatment, choice of species, lighting, and nutrients. The OrchiZen has smart irrigation advisory, species recommendation, Ultraviolet (UV) based disease treatment, light optimization, and fertilizer advisory. The priorities are given to specific species such as Dendrobium, Vanda, and Phalaenopsis. The realities of telemonitoring, data processing, and forecasting increase organizational productivity and contribute to better environmental management. The outcomes illustrate that existing modern technologies can enhance the output and ecology of the orchid production to a significant extent, redefining the conventional technologies.
