Problem Statement

Greenhouse research requires precise, repeatable watering to maintain consistent experimental conditions. As plant counts scale to 150–360 pots, manual watering becomes inefficient, inconsistent. This project aims to design an automated irrigation system that reliably delivers controlled water volumes to an initial set of 36 pots, operates under greenhouse conditions with minimal user intervention, and provides a scalable foundation for future expansion.
