Project Launch: High-Density Strawberry Farming in a Controlled Environment

After successfully developing a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) to grow lettuce hydroponically using IoT and machine learning, we’re now embarking on an exciting expansion: growing strawberries in a controlled environment agriculture (CEA) system.

This project isn't just about growing berries — it's about creating a repeatable, scalable, and data-driven framework for high-value crop cultivation that aligns with economic principles of Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) > Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC).

Introduction
The study by Shin et al. (2023) provides valuable insights into lipid membrane remodeling by the micellar aggregation of long-chain unsaturated fatty acids, offering sustainable antimicrobial strategies. However, challenges remain in automating data collection, optimizing experimental tracking, and enhancing the predictive power of these studies. By integrating artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), the research process can be significantly improved in terms of efficacy, efficiency, and productivity. Institutionalizing AI/ML into research workflows can enable real-time insights, adaptive experimentation, and data-driven decision-making.

Unlock the Future: Why AI & ML Skills Matter Now More Than Ever

The world is changing faster than ever, and at the heart of this transformation are technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML). These fields are no longer confined to tech giants and researchers—they’re becoming tools that every professional, regardless of industry, can leverage to stay ahead. From healthcare to finance, sales, and agriculture, AI and ML are shaping decisions, streamlining operations, and uncovering insights that were once unimaginable.

Step into the Community Spotlight as we introduce Thinkmasters, a consulting firm with a focus on delivering meaningful results through Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML). Joining an esteemed technology-centric  trade association offers an opportunity to subtly highlight how we help organizations uncover the potential of data while keeping our eyes firmly on what matters: creating sustainable, measurable value.

In today’s fast-paced business environment, data-driven decision-making is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity. However, businesses often face a critical challenge: how can a third party prove the value of their proprietary data and models without exposing sensitive information? This article explores a robust methodology that balances data privacy with transparency, enabling businesses to gain valuable insights while maintaining trust and confidence.

Overview:
Project Room4All NUOC is a transformative initiative at the intersection of AI, IoT, and vertical farming. It aims to showcase the potential of sovereign blockchain and web3 technologies in addressing real-world challenges in Southeast Asia, particularly through precision agriculture. With an emphasis on community-driven participation and open-source development, the project serves as both a proof of concept (POC) and a blueprint for sustainable innovation.

Hydroponic farming requires precise monitoring and control, often facilitated by IoT devices like Raspberry Pis. Combining data from multiple Pis into a cohesive dataset stored in a database like MongoDB is crucial for effective analysis and machine learning applications.

Measuring various features such as temperature, humidity, light intensity (E), pH levels, carbon dioxide concentration (CO2), plant height, and plant health at frequent intervals using supervised machine learning, particularly logistic regression, can indeed provide insights into predicting successful lettuce leafy green harvests. However, the accuracy of such predictions may vary depending on several factors, including the quality and quantity of data, feature selection, and model complexity.

To detect plant diseases efficiently, incorporating data collection, sensors, and machine learning can significantly enhance the detection process. Here's an outline of an optimal approach:

The pilot program consists of two critical phases: IoT/sensors/datalogging and AI/ML. To achieve seamless integration, both teams must work collaboratively. The key to success lies in proper design, accurate monitoring, and triggering, with comprehensive datalogging of all relevant data points.
