About iPlant Imbiza Yezimbali

Uhlelo olusha lokufakelwa kwamanzi olufakiwe ku-iPlant guaranties izitshalo ziphila isikhathi esingangenyanga. Uhlelo olusha oluqondisayo lokunisela lusetshenziselwa ukunikeza amanzi adingekayo ezimpandeni. Le khambi yindlela yezinkinga zokusebenzisa amanzi. Futhi, izinzwa ezihlakaniphile zingahlola ukwakheka komsoco wenhlabathi, izinga lomswakama, nezinye izinto zomhlabathi kanye nezempilo, ngokusho kohlobo lwesitshalo, ziqhathanise nezinga elijwayelekile bese zithumela izaziso kuhlelo lokusebenza leselula le-iPlant.

The Recognition

About the Umklomelo Wensimbi we-A' Design Award

iPlant Imbiza Yezimbali iwinile uMklomelo Wensimbi we-A' Design Award, ukwaziswa okuhloniphekile okunikezwa imiklamo emihle ehlangabezana nezidingo zobungcweti nezemboni ezilindelekile ezimpahleni ezihlelwe kahle. Abawinile beNsimbi babonisa ikhono elikhulu, ubungcweti obuphezulu, ukuqonda kochwepheshe namandla okudala abadali babo. iPlant Imbiza Yezimbali ilindeleke ukuba ibe yinto exatshwa kakhulu, edunyiswayo nethandwayo esebenzayo nenezinto ezintsha. Lo mklamo owinile uMklomelo Wensimbi we-A' Design Award uhlanganisa izindlela ezinhle kakhulu zemboni futhi unezimfanelo zobuchwepheshe ezifanelekile ezihlanganiswe nolwazi nethalente. iPlant Imbiza Yezimbali iyahlonishwa ngenxa yokucophelela kwayo futhi ihlelelwe ukulethela izinguquko zomgangatho wempilo ezisiza ukwenza umhlaba ube yindawo engcono.

Unique Properties: An innovative water supply embedded system in iPlant guaranties plants life long for a month. A new intelligent irrigation system is used to provide the necessary water for roots. This solution is an approach for water consumption concerns. Also, smart sensors could check soil nutrients composition, moisture level, and other soil and plant health factors and, according to plant type, compares them with standard level and then send notifications to the iPlant mobile application.
Dimensions & Packaging: Embedded sensors in this pot could be configured to check the plant and soil status according to different kinds of plants. In addition, a new irrigation system is invented, this plant pot that irrigates plant from the root that is a new approach. Its height is 19 cm and the circle radius is 12.5.
Tags: Sustainable Design, IoT, intelligent sensor, Green flower pot, plant pot
Production Technology: IoT technology, WIFI Connection, Intelligent Sensors are the most essential techniques that are used in the iPlant.
Design Challenge: Finding sensors for plant growth factors and embedding intelligent components in the pot is the most challenging part of iplant.
Research: Many peoples have plants at home or office, but they could not care for them because caring plants need necessary agricultural information and skills. Also, irrigation is a significant concern for ordinary peoples. Plant fertilizer, temperature, environment light, and many other factors should be considered for caring plants.
Inspiration: The origin of this idea is given from the Ozon layer. Growing plants' difficulties in home and office by untrained or without agricultural knowledge peoples was our concern to design an intelligent flower pot. Taking care of plants will help humans to have a more delicate environment, better and fresher weather, more oxygen, healthier psychological atmosphere, but not everyone could do it.
Project Duration: It started in Tehran, Iran in March 2019 and finished in May 2019.
Operation Flow: Sensors check soil and plant status and send this information an electronic board. Embedded software will check this information to a standard level and will send a notification to a mobile application to make the user aware of plant status. All this mechanism will help the user to care plant completely.
