Unit Structure
Self supporting structure, in steel plate, acrylic, solar panels, with the appropriate measures for transportation.The production units are transportable to today's means, equivalent to 40 foot containers, 12000mm by 2500mm with 2700mm height, so they can go to places where they are most needed. The cultivation area is approximately 120 square meters, which will be spread over 4 floors in the unit which has 30 square meters.
Each unit contains approximately 10 cubic meters of land with substrate and 3000 liter water reservoir, which is retained from rain. The water tank retains 100mm of rainfall and is anti evaporation. It also captures water from the air humidity removed with a 1kw dehumidifier, which faces outwards, removing moisture from the outside air.
It contains solar panels across the top area, divided into 3 plots, measuring 2500mm by 4000mm, all of which contain GPS-controlled solar trackers.
Access is controlled by fingerprint, in which the system thus recognizes and makes available to each person up to 3 daily doses.
The dose or half dose request button is incorporated in the fingerprint sensor, where pressing halfway down generates half dose, and pushing harder to the bottom generates full dose.
The entire unit is made so that it has the least material and is applied as simply as possible.
Production
The production of each unit is continuous and it is estimated that 15 liters of soybean sweet potato soup are available daily, more or less thick depending on the amount grown in the respective area for each day, equivalent to about 50 doses of 0.3. liters, ready to consume in each unit. The following image shows 2 terraces of the approximately 1900 that has the machine.
It has an LED sign on the outside where you can see in the distance the amount of doses available, which simply goes out when there are no more doses available, to avoid unnecessary queues.
They are automated production units with minimal maintenance costs after construction, totally ecological and use the natural resources Sun and rain to function at full capacity.
The monthly water expenditure is estimated at 33mm or 1000 liters per month, serving 7 liters daily for cooking soup and 26 liters for irrigating sweet potatoes and soybeans under cultivation. Washing water from soup-making equipment is used for irrigation.
The machine is suitable for places with rainfall from 400mm annually.

Crop Management
Crop management is done by a robot on rails at the top of each landing where its outside measurements do not exceed 300 mm in diameter when in motion.
An hour before dark, in the process of distributing soup to the poor, the system turns off the 3-dose restriction per person until the sweetpotato container is empty.
At this point, the robot picks up the sweet potatoes for the next day and puts them in a container where they soak overnight to remove the oxalates.
At this stage the seedlings are placed to grow 15 days from the previous harvest. In testing to use the method shown here , using the oldest branches, cutting the leaves and counting 3 to 4 nodules, the robot does this process. Therefore one has to choose the best way in order to make the most of the growing plant.
When the robot picks up the sweet potatoes and soybeans, it immediately grows the following, with the oldest seedling already grown at 15 days, thus rotating, and exchanging the location of the sweet potato for soybeans, thus making a cultivar rotation, which It will bring benefits both to healthier growth as well as minimizing pests, as soybean is excellent for this function and can make a direct compost layer for sweetpotato as the potato needs as loose soil as possible. The location and date of their cultivation is recorded in the database.
The 120 square meters will be in 128 divisions, rotating in 128 days, so that the robot knows exactly where the most ripe sweet potatoes and soy are, thus making a permanent cycle.
So there is a row of 3 meters available for each day, which will amount to about 15 liters of soybean sweet potato soup.
Watering
Watering is done by the robot around noon when there is more surplus energy from the solar panels. If watering is required every 3 days, the robot will water around 30 blocks each day, also doing some mechanical control with possible pests and weeds.Electrical system
Energy
Renewable energy to power the LEDs, the robot and other components:The machine runs full time during the day when the sun rises and there is enough energy in the stabilizer. The solar panels are in 2 or 3 modules, each with solar follower system, where in the last hour of sun, the east side panel is positioned to where the sun rises the next day. When it receives energy, the others position themselves properly in the sun.
Lighting
Ventilation
Contains fans with air vents, where the air outlet has a system that closes completely in case of fan shutdown, this for the situation of insects as much as possible. The outlet fan needs to operate at night to be able to circulate the air, so it needs a power accumulator system that is an air compressor because it is the least wearable compared to other power accumulator systems.It has air conditioning that works when the stove's internal temperature sensor indicates less than 15 degrees centigrade. The air conditioner works in a rotation allied to the charge and discharge of the batteries, and retains the energy for colder moments. Air inlets close at night in cold weather.
