Concept

The idea of the OrchidCare (automated Orchid farm) follows "the best orchid growing conditions" principle. No doubts, everyone knows what's "the best orchid growing conditions". And the most likely this is not what orchids need. We have built an algorithm based on years-long orchid growth study.

Mainly, the OrchidCare works as:

Measures environmental data.
Compares with "the best orchid growing conditions".
Decides what and when should be corrected/improved.
Applies the decision in action (actuator control).

OrchidCare has 2 goals:

Take care for optimal orchid grow in your particular conditions. This is done automatically, of course.
Educate orchid owner to grow orchids, to have yearly blossom.
