    A plant factory is a factory that grows plants indoors. These indoor farms could be the key to solve food shortages in the world. Plant factories are operated in indoor spaces under controlled cultivation conditions such as light, temperature and humidity. Then, a multi-fan system (MFS) for single culture beds. The MFS had four fans which were installed on both the front and back sides of culture beds to generate airflow from two opposite horizontal directions by using the Internet of Things (IoT) via the access and connection of smartphone devices. The fans that push the air into the culture bed were air inlets while those that pull the air out of the culture bed were air outlets. The main problem is in plant factories with artificial light, a heat that is usually used to control the environmental parameters and the air velocity is generally lower than the optimum range required for plant growth. Compare to a plant factory without using a multi-fan, it no circulation of air in the container to ensure continuous gas exchange. This reduction in gas exchange can impact calcium uptake by the plants. The gas exchange makes the tip burn. Tip burn can have a significant impact on the salability of a lettuce crop. Based on the limitations that have been highlighted previously, this research has been carried out by using multi-fan and without multi-fan. To get the data that need to be compared. Then, to improve the airflow in a plant factory with artificial light and prevent tip burn occur on the lettuce itself. In a nutshell, this prototype is expected to help plant factories reduce tip burn symptoms on leaf lettuce and the airflow can improve the growth of indoor cultured lettuce.

    Malaysia is currently driven to become another most developed country in the world. Among other priority sector is Food Sustainability. Along the process, our vegetable supply-demand keeps increasing by year. Compared to traditional systems, closed systems or its other name called hydroponic is getting more important for plant production, with artificial light which has many potential advantages, including better quality transplants, shorter production time and less resource use. To gain full profit from it, the quality of vegetables needs to be controlled efficiently. Climate conditions, especially temperature and light intensity, have a significant impact on vegetable growth and yield, as well as nutritional quality. Plant growth and development are influenced by a variety of environmental factors, the most important one is light intensity. Among the problems to be tackled in this research are plant growth manual observation, light intensity variation and abundance of growth-related data to be evaluated manually. Therefore, to solve these problems, the specific type of vegetable used here is lettuce. The proposed methods are, observation of plant growth conducted automatically round the clock in intervals of 15 minutes for the whole month (estimated mature period of lettuce), using images captured. At the same time, the proposed light intensity which is red & white to the ratio of 2:1 (optimum ratio recommended by previous researchers) will be used. The issue of data to be evaluated manually will be solved using Artificial Neural Network (ANN) architecture, in specific Deep Learning. Concisely, the results & analysis shows the research is successfully developed for plant growth monitoring by using artificial neural network which, reached 80% to 90% accuracy in the training and validation session that made the architecture sufficient for determining the growth of the said vegetable. This is indeed foreseen, will highly assist the farmer in better monitoring the growth rate of the plant.
