Final approval of the engineering design and the launch of the implementation phase for the smart greenhouse project.

The Manufacturing and Scientific Consultancy Center hosted a meeting today bringing together the directors and members of the research teams involved in the smart greenhouse project to review the outcomes of the past phase. A primary focus was the engineering design, presented by Dr. Louai Khalil (Dean of the Faculty of Architecture and Head of the Engineering Team), which was tailored to meet the technical specifications of the crops proposed by the agricultural technologies team, led by Dr. Leila Al-Dahhak (Vice Dean of the Faculty of Agricultural Engineering at Hama University). The meeting resulted in an agreement on the structural design of the agricultural system for the first phase, alongside the software and power connectivity frameworks for the smart greenhouse setup. The discussions also addressed the engineering integration of the packaging, germination, and control units, exploring both independent and connected configurations. Furthermore, the research team members and directors evaluated all technical and economic parameters, securing a clear path toward starting practical application and launching the actual execution phase during April 2024.
