A UNIVERSAL MODEL OF ADAPTIVE MANAGEMENT OF CLOSED AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION USING AI TECHNOLOGIES
Abstract
The relevance of this research stems from the contradiction between the need to increase food production in an urbanized environment and the fragmentation of existing high-tech solutions (hydroponics, aeroponics, IoT), which are being implemented in isolation, without a unified management methodology. The lack of unified approaches to data collection and adaptive control of environmental parameters limits the scalability of vertical farms. The goal of this research is to develop and theoretically substantiate the architecture of a universal adaptive management model for closed-loop agricultural production systems, integrating various cultivation methods based on machine learning algorithms. The methodology is based on a systematic analysis of scientific publications and experimental data on the use of embedded devices and machine learning algorithms in hydroponic, aeroponic, and soil-based vertical greenhouses. Based on this data synthesis, parametric matrices were constructed to standardize technological processes. The main results include the development of a structural diagram of a universal model that enables the integration of disparate systems into a single platform with the ability to continuously monitor and perform predictive analytics. The minimum required sensor set is substantiated: pH, EC, temperature, humidity, CO₂, PAR, pressure, and nutrient solution flow. The proposed architecture enables dynamic switching between hydroponic, aeroponic, and indoor modes within a single phytotron. The conclusions and significance of this work lie in creating a foundation for designing scalable vertical farms with predictable profitability and resource efficiency indicators, while enabling continuous further training of AI algorithms for predictive microclimate management and early plant disease detection in urban environments
