Now when it comes to Farm, that is, vertical farm automation; many friends actually feel a little vague about this concept and are not sure what it is specifically talking about. In fact – this vertical farm automation refers to the vertical farm; through various advanced technologies, various high-tech equipment and so on; to automate the operation and management of the entire process and entire link of farm operations, reducing manual intervention.
Well, so what are the key modules and important parts of vertical farm automation, and how do they work? First of all, the environmental control system is very important.
1. The main thing here is temperature and humidity control. Well, many high-performance, high-tech temperature and humidity sensors will be installed at various points on the farm. Then these sensors will be like this sentinel, monitoring and detecting the temperature and humidity conditions of the environment 24 hours a day, and collecting relevant data. Once the temperature or humidity slightly deviates from the reasonable range suitable for the growth of crops, the automated system can quickly make response measures based on the analysis of collected data, so that the temperature and humidity can return to the appropriate value. At this time, it is adjusted through air conditioners or ventilation equipment!
2. Then there is the lighting adjustment. Because there is no sunlight in a vertical farm, the lighting provided by artificial lights must be carefully controlled. A variety of lighting equipment that are efficient, energy-saving and have controllable light quality are widely used and installed at different heights. They will provide the best spectrum and optimal illumination at different levels and time periods according to different types of crops, different growth stages and other factors, so that our crops can perform photosynthesis better.
Next is the irrigation and fertilization system module. So in this module,
1. This aspect of precision irrigation is the key point. It is to install some high-precision flow sensors and pressure sensors, and also equip them with intelligent valves and other devices. Through data analysis and calculation, it can automatically determine how much water each crop needs at each growth stage. These are transported through a complex pipe network and then transported to the crop root system, so that water can be used accurately and accurately. It is no longer like the old agriculture where water use is very uneven, either excessive or insufficient.
2. There are also automatic fertilization measures. Adopt an advanced proportional control and distribution equipment. By measuring the soil solution or plant nutrient data, according to the different nutritional requirements of crops, we can calculate a relatively accurate fertilizer dosage ratio to prepare appropriate nutrient solutions of different proportions and accurately deliver them to the crops; this way, we ensure that plants at each growth stage receive sufficient and reasonable nutrient supply to grow healthier and so on.
We will add a lot of things in more detail through questions and answers. Some friends may ask whether the automation cost of this vertical farm will be high? Well, the initial investment in the construction of a fully automated vertical farm like this is indeed quite high. It costs a lot to buy these advanced equipment, build this intelligent platform, etc.; but in the long run, the savings in high labor costs and the income due to increased output may still bring about a better input-output ratio effect.
Some people are also worried about the reliability and unreliability of the system, and that the system may one day fail, and so on. In fact, under the current conditions where related information technology and industrial automation technology are becoming increasingly mature, those suppliers and manufacturers will often maintain the system and update the corresponding advanced components and algorithms, which is generally very reliable and stable. Although there may occasionally be minor problems or problems, there is a maintenance mechanism that can be quickly repaired and resolved immediately, so there is no need to worry too much.
Provide global procurement services for weak current intelligent products!
I have to say that vertical farm automation is very important. In the future, as technology gradually improves, it will definitely not only help meet food needs, but also actively promote the transformation of modern agriculture and solve some of the current difficulties and troubles, such as land and other constraints, etc., which will have an increasing impact. The future potential of the super-huge role is really unlimited, hehe. As we work hard to pay attention to relevant progress and make good use of those achievements, agriculture will become better and better. Oh well,
