초록

This study proposes a hydroponic smart farm system with automated harvesting to address food production challenges caused by labor shortages in Korean agriculture. Unlike traditional smart farms, this system adopts a hydroponic cultivation method to enhance efficiency to manage growth environment and uses color recognition technology for automated harvesting, thereby reducing labor requirements. Additionally, a tower-typed structure is utilized to optimize the cultivation area. The automated hydroponic smart farm system consists of an automated harvester, control device to manage growth environment, a sensor detecting strawberry’s ripeness, and a monitoring component to facilitate smooth strawberry growth and automated harvesting. Experimental results confirmed the system’s stable operation and demonstrated that the tower-typed structure can increase crop yields by over 200% compared to conven-tional setups. This significant improvement highlights the system's effectiveness in maximizing cultivation efficiency within limited space.
