# What technology can improve plant yield and quality in indoor farming?
Advancements in technology have introduced several innovations for remote plant condition monitoring:
* **IoT-enabled sensors:** Internet of Things (IoT) sensors transmit real-time data on environmental factors like temperature, humidity, and soil moisture to cloud platforms, allowing remote access from anywhere.
* **Automated imaging systems:** Systems equipped with cameras and AI analyse plant growth, detect diseases, and monitor overall health remotely.
* **Mobile applications:** Apps provide growers with real-time alerts and data visualisation, enabling prompt responses to any anomalies or environmental shifts.
* **Automated control systems:** Integrated systems that adjust lighting, irrigation, and climate controls based on sensor data, optimising plant conditions without manual intervention.
These innovations empower growers to maintain optimal plant health and productivity, even from a distance.
### The Grow Sensor is an IoT-enabled device that allows remote monitoring of key environmental conditions.
It measures temperature, humidity, CO₂, light intensity (PPF/PPFD and ePAR), and leaf surface temperature, with all data accessible via the cloud.
Growers can view real-time conditions, receive alerts, and track trends remotely—enhancing control over their grow space without needing to be physically present.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://faq.growsensor.co/additional-faqs/technological-advancements/what-technology-can-improve-plant-yield-and-quality-in-indoor-farming.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
