    ENG: The increasing global demand for sustainable agricultural practices necessitates innovative solutions to optimize resource use and minimize environmental impact. This paper presents the information technology developed to automate and optimize the operation of a hydroponic system to improve energy and resource efficiency in sustainable agriculture. An automated control platform at the system's base continuously monitors key environmental parameters within the hydroponic facility, including water level, nutrient distribution, lighting, and energy consumption. The system can precisely regulate the processes by collecting real-time data on these variables, providing ideal conditions for plant growth. The hydroponic system is equipped with a set of sensors and actuators that control water flow, fertilizer supply, and lighting according to the needs of each plant. The developed spectral composition is based on combining the spectra of HPS and two peaks of photosynthetic efficiency. This combination of the spectrums complements each other, which allows photosynthesis to proceed as efficiently as possible. The system makes it possible to save up to 25% of electricity consumption without losing quality and quantity characteristics, to reduce the number of hours of illumination, and to be placed in cost-effective climatic conditions.
