摘要

The integration of IoT-enabled SCADA systems in agriculture has revolutionised precision farming by providing advanced tools to monitor and control environmental factors with minimal human intervention, improving resource efficiency and crop yields. The inclusion of collaborative robots (cobots) introduces a new dimension to greenhouse automation, enabling tasks such as planting, pruning, harvesting, targeted watering, fertilisation, and pest control to be performed with exceptional accuracy and adaptability based on real-time IoT sensor data. Cobots work alongside humans and machines, bridging the gap between manual labour and automated processes, while reducing resource wastage and environmental impact. By synthesising insights from original research, this article explores the potential of integrating cobots into IoT-enabled greenhouses to enhance productivity, operational efficiency, and environmental control. This approach not only reduces the physical demands on human workers but also fosters sustainable farming practices, ensuring food security and setting a benchmark for future innovations in precision agriculture.
