This work exposes the conditioning of the zenith greenhouse of the Polytechnic University of Aguascalientes for its conformation as a high-tech entity, through the adaptation of sensors, actuators and a controller, which ensure the supervision of the environmental conditions inside, mainly established by the variables of temperature and humidity. The development and application of a computer graphical interface is presented as an intuitive tool for monitoring and controlling the field devices used, and therefore, the environmental conditions provided or recorded from their activation. Likewise, the use of the open communication standard OPC is demonstrated as an alternative for effective interaction between the LabVIEW software, from which the management interface was developed, and the PLC, used as the system controller. The results achieved provide proof of the adequate operation of the devices adapted in the greenhouse installation, the compilation of the information associated with the performance of their task and the manipulation of their operation or reading, from the graphical interface developed for this purpose.
