Spectral deficiency driven control systems and methods in plant growth automation

A spectral deficiency-driven control system in a plant growth automation, said system comprising:

• at least one sensor configured to detect any number of segments of a light spectrum of at least one of facility-incoming and facility-generated light;
• at least one sensor manager capable of detecting a deficiency within any number of segments of light spectrum of the detected facility light by comparing an actual light spectra profile with a reference light spectra profile and determining a threshold-grade deviation;
• at least one controller for at least one of actuating and managing at least one of a plant growth automation system output based on said threshold-grade deviation;
• and
• wherein the controller is operably coupled to the sensor manager for causing any one of, or combination of, control, synchronization, coordination, and calibration of plant growth automaton systems, thereby enabling at least one of adaptive actuation and management of plant growth automation system outputs based on the determined threshold-grade deviation.

A spectral deficiency-driven control device in a plant growth automation, said device comprising:

• at least one integrated sensor portion;
• at least one integrated sensor manager;
• a processor;
• a memory element coupled to the processor;
• encoded instructions;
• wherein the device is further configured to:
• receive at least one of a facility systems data by the at least one integrated sensor portion;
• based on the received facility systems data, the sensor manager determines a threshold-grade deviation between the received facility systems data and an updated reference facility systems data profile;
• and
• based on the threshold-grade deviation, cause any one of, or combination of, control, synchronization, coordination, and calibration of any number of plant growth automaton system outputs, thereby enabling adaptive actuation or management of plant growth automation system outputs.

A spectral deficiency-driven method, said method comprising the steps of:

• sensing at least one facility characteristic by at least one facility sensor, generating facility systems data,
• wherein at least one facility systems data corresponds to wavelength segments of a light spectrum,
• receiving, by a plant growth management system, at least one of a facility systems data over a network;
• and
• wherein, the plant growth management system comprises a control system, comprising a controller, and a facilities resource management system comprising a processor, a memory, and encoded instructions,
• comparing a real-time light spectra profile, composed from the light spectrum facility systems data, with a reference light spectra profile and determining a threshold-grade deviation for causing an operation state change of a plant growth automation,
• controlling, by the plant growth management system, an action via any one of, or combination of a facilities resource management system based on the facilities systems data, wherein the actions controlled are at least one of varying spectral output of at least one light-emitting diode (LED) channel from at least one LED light source, light brightness, real light height, and a light-beam path for causing a virtual foliage height adjustment.
