APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING LIGHTING IN PLANT FACTORY
First Claim
1. A method for controlling lighting in a plant factory, the method comprising:
- calculating a weight of at least one crop being cultivated based on a sensing result received from a weight sensor disposed in a crop cultivation bed;
calculating a height of the crop based on information about growth of the crop corresponding to the weight of the crop;
extracting information about artificial light corresponding to the height of the crop based on the information about growth of the crop; and
controlling a height of an artificial lighting device based on the information about artificial light.

Abstract
An apparatus and method for controlling lighting in a plant factory are disclosed. The apparatus includes a weight calculation unit, a height calculation unit, a light information extraction unit, and a distance control unit. The weight calculation unit calculates the weight of at least one crop being cultivated based on a sensing result received from a weight sensor disposed in a crop cultivation bed. The height calculation unit calculates the height of the crop based on information about the growth of the crop corresponding to the weight of the crop. The light information extraction unit extracts information about artificial light corresponding to the height of the crop based on the information about the growth of the crop. The distance control unit controls the height of an artificial lighting device based on the information about artificial light.
