Every May is the development period of young apple fruits. In Zhongyi wisdom orchard, Nanma street, Yiyuan County, Zibo City, Shandong Province, several "new farmers" did not check the growth of young fruits, but bent down to check the detectors buried in the fields.
"Different from traditional orchards, through digital means, this orchard covering an area of nearly 1000 mu only needs more than 20 people to maintain. Compared with the extensive management in the past, the efficiency is more than 10 times higher." Said Zhang Wei, chairman of Shandong Zhongyi Modern Intelligent Agriculture Co., Ltd.
Behind it is a breakthrough in efficient management.
Driverless farm tools, positioning collars, ocean fishing... In recent years, the Beidou system has been widely used in intelligent agricultural systems and automatic agricultural machinery systems. By the end of 2021, there were more than 100000 auto drive system for agricultural machinery based on the Beidou system, and the operating area of Beidou navigation equipment installed throughout the country was more than 60million mu.
Zhang Gong, CEO of Beijing Jiage Tiandi Technology Co., Ltd., said that if driverless driving is still in the exploration stage in the city, this technology has matured with the help of Beidou System in the field.
Every difference is a thousand miles away. In the process of agricultural production, the first problem faced by driverless or self driving agricultural tools is "alignment". Only when the relevant coordinates are accurate, can it be conducive to the following series of planned operations.
"Just in the 'alignment' indicator, you can save about 10% of the cost." Zhang Gong said.
On April 20, the central network information office, the Ministry of agriculture and rural areas, the national development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of industry and information technology and the National Rural Revitalization Bureau jointly issued the key points of digital rural development in 2022, which proposed to promote the application of Beidou intelligent terminal in the field of agricultural production.
In China, what are the advantages of Beidou System in the application of agriculture?
An Xudong, director of antenna and positioning Department of Theil terminal Laboratory of China Academy of information and communications, said that a series of emerging technologies such as Beidou unmanned driving, high-precision positioning and navigation and system supervision have fully saved more human, material and financial resources in agricultural production processes such as ridging and sowing, deep loosening of land, crop harvesting and straw returning to the field. Compared with traditional agricultural machinery, Beidou satellite navigation autonomous tractor relies on intelligent technology to ensure operation quality and improve operation efficiency. The average daily operation volume of a single agricultural machinery is 30% more than that of manual driving. After operation, the strip field connection is accurate, the sowing end is straight, and the accuracy can reach 2.5cm. At the same time, the labor intensity is greatly reduced and the comfortable operation is realized.
In addition to the automatic driving of agricultural machinery and park monitoring, Beidou system has also derived some new business forms in the field of agriculture.
"In terms of crop irrigation, Beidou system is used to optimize the intelligent irrigation system, realize intelligent, scientific and unattended irrigation operation, reduce production costs, reasonably control irrigation water, greatly reduce the waste of water resources and reduce labor intensity." An Xudong said that the use of Beidou terminal can also improve the logistics and distribution system of agricultural products, especially fresh products, and sense the status of agricultural products in real time. Promote the application of "vehicle (ship) Beidou + environmental sensor + background monitoring management" system to collect, transmit and report the temperature, humidity, vibration, smoke, opening and closing time and times in the logistics process in real time, which can meet customers' needs for agricultural product quality and logistics traceability, complete the backup of logistics companies at the same time, and improve the operation efficiency of logistics companies.
In Zhang Gong's view, based on Beidou system, its increasingly accurate positioning will have an impact on the development of the next generation Internet of things.
"The development of the Internet of things needs a lot of data storage, exchange and communication, and 5g communication technology can support its realization; it provides higher precision positioning. In the future, with the continuous application of Beidou system, location-based services will be more convenient and efficient." Zhang Gong said.
