Abstract

Production greenhouse complexes increasingly require automation and digitalization to address rising labor costs, improve productivity, and support sustainable resource use. However, most existing solutions target isolated tasks and lack a unified framework for continuous monitoring and production-oriented accounting at facility scale. This paper proposes a system-level architecture that integrates robotic monitoring platforms, AI-based perception, and cloud-based data management into a coherent operational framework. The robotic monitoring platforms operate on rails and concrete surfaces and are capable of elevating cameras and sensors up to 5 m to support plant-health assessment, environmental monitoring, and production accounting. Aggregated data are incorporated into a digital twin that supports spatial traceability, historical analysis, and decision support. The proposed approach enables continuous inspection, improves early detection of crop stress, reduces repetitive manual scouting, and supports targeted interventions. The framework provides a scalable foundation for sustainable, data-driven greenhouse management and practical deployment of robotic monitoring systems in industrial production environments.
