Yocto Works

 

Yocto Works leveraged on Internet of Things (IoT) technology to develop a sustainable, easy-to-manage modular solution for vertical gardening for limited space, both indoors and outdoors. The team is looking to drive urban greening and the development of a smart green city with technology.

The system has been adopted by the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department and is under field test. The team wishes to expand the adoption of the system in the market, e.g. integrating it in green walls, for more efficient planting and gardening, to ultimately solve the hurdles in maintaining and expanding green areas.
