| Shrnutí: | Plastic greenhouses, which account for the majority of protected horticulture facilities in East Asia, are highly susceptible to wind-induced uplift failures that can lead to severe structural and economic damage. To address this issue, this study developed a low-power and low-cost wireless monitoring system applying the concept of structural health monitoring (SHM) to greenhouse foundations. Each sensor node integrates a MEMS-based inertial measurement unit (IMU) for attitude estimation, a LoRa module for long-range alert transmission, and a microSD module for data logging, while a gateway relays anomaly alerts to users through an IP network. Uplift tests were conducted on standard steel-pipe foundations commonly used in plastic greenhouses, and the proposed sensor nodes were evaluated alongside a commercial IMU to validate attitude estimation accuracy and anomaly detection performance. Despite the approximately 30-fold cost difference, comparable attitude estimation results were achieved. The system demonstrated low power consumption, confirming its feasibility for long-term operation using batteries or small solar cells. These results demonstrate the applicability of low-cost IMUs for real-time structural monitoring of lightweight greenhouse foundations. |
