Oregon State University’s Nursery Research and Extension and the Openly Published Environmental Sensing (OPEnS) Lab, have developed the ‘HyperRail’ a combined gantry and sensor, imaging, phenotyping package. A modular smart greenhouse in-a-box system that can potentially be configured for a wide variety of sensing, phenotyping, and automation purposes. The 3D HyperRail moves in three directions moving over a one-meter rail on the x-axis continuously, two-meter on the y-axis, and one-meter on the z-axis, with the sensor package attached on the z-axis in a water-resistant container. This device can be programmed to visit a suite of locations to gather information from the on-board sensor package.
- Carry a sensor package to any desired coordinate location in all three axes.
- Carry a sensor package continuously throughout the frame.
- Adjustable length in all axis.
- Adjustable framing capability.

The Sensor package
- Adafruit Feather M0 LoRa + Adalogger + RTC.
- K30 CO2 sensor.
- TSL2591 luminosity sensor.
- SHT31-D temperature + relative humidity sensor.
-
The HyperRail
- Adafruit Feather M0 LoRa + nRF shield. You can check out the HyperRail or the Setup for HyperRail Page.
-
The Ethernet hub
- Adafruit Feather LoRa + Adafruit Ethernet Feather Wing (Hub_Receive)
- Adafruit Feather LoRa (Hub_Transmit)
The general layout for the eGreenhouse system will be looking like the following.
GUI, Hub_Transmit, and Hub_Receive will be explained in Setup Guide for Hub.
The HyperRail will follow the HyperRail Guide.
The eGreenhouse sensor package will be explained in the Sensor Package.
