In recent months, several domestic companies and producers have begun utilizing the Internet of Things (IoT) in the cultivation and production of medicinal plants. These systems, through the use of environmental sensors, collect real-time data on temperature, humidity, light, and CO₂ levels, enabling farmers to make quick and accurate decisions. One executive from a company active in this field stated: “By adopting IoT, we’ve been able to reduce water consumption by up to 30% and improve the quality of active compounds in our plants.” It is predicted that within the next five years, over 60% of large-scale medicinal plant farms in Iran will be equipped with smart systems.
