See how the agricultural Internet of Things changes agricultural production and marketing

"Internet of Things" - from all walks of life, has become very popular in the past two years. In rural areas, agricultural e-commerce and fresh-keeping e-commerce have just emerged, and the Internet has just spread from urban to rural areas. People in the agricultural circle are unfamiliar with this concept and are very commonplace.

In fact, the concept of the Internet of Things was born in 1999: through information sensing devices such as radio frequency identification (RFID), infrared sensors, global positioning systems, laser scanners, etc., to connect any item to the Internet according to the agreed agreement. Information exchange and communication to achieve a network concept of intelligent identification, location, tracking, monitoring and management. It can be seen that it is a new field arising from a series of technical integration and integrated application. Today is a social wave, and the common topic of each industry is naturally because the technology of support has matured to a certain extent, and the call for changes in traditional production methods.

In traditional agriculture, people mainly obtain farmland information through manual measurement, which often consumes a large amount of manpower. By using wireless sensor networks, the Internet of Things can effectively reduce the impact of human consumption and farmland environment, and obtain crop environment and crop information.

The general application of the agricultural Internet of Things is to construct a monitoring network with a large number of sensor nodes, collect information through various sensors to help farmers find problems in time, and accurately determine the location of the problem, so that agriculture will gradually become human-centered and dependent. The production model of the isolated machine shifts to an information- and software-centric production model, thus making extensive use of various automated, intelligent, remotely controlled production equipment.

Planting

Internet of Things technology can more accurately obtain animal and plant information. By installing sensors and other equipment in farms, farms, etc., it is possible to collect information on crop growth information, pest and disease information, air temperature, humidity, soil moisture, soil structure, etc. more accurately and timely, and inform the farmers in time through the intelligent platform. In this way, the farmer can take corresponding actions according to the reminder.

Internet of Things technology enables remote support. Farmers can query local agricultural policies, market conditions and other information on the IoT platform to effectively solve the problem of poor information. Farmers can also make scientific diagnosis and decision-making on the pests and diseases of crops through the expert system on the platform, thereby improving the resilience of agriculture, reducing the risk of agricultural production and improving the quality of crops.

Circulation

First, the Internet of Things can make it easier for agricultural products to “sell”. The Internet of Things can connect farmers and agricultural product distributors, let the agricultural product dealers know where the crops are ripe, where the quality of the crops is good, and formulate the acquisition plan as soon as possible. Similarly, farmers can also understand the sales of agricultural products through the Internet of Things, select agricultural product distributors, determine the planting plan for the next quarter, and avoid the situation that the agricultural products are harvested but not sold.

The Internet of Things can also strengthen the supply chain management of agricultural products. Internet of Things technology can systematically collect data on primary processing, warehousing, inventory, and suppliers and customers of agricultural products, so that agricultural product distributors can store and transport agricultural products in a standardized way, and scientifically and effectively manage the supply and demand and distribution of agricultural products.

Sales

Because of the asymmetry of information and the inability to guarantee the quality and safety of agricultural products, traditional logistics methods are difficult to open up to the “one kilometer” of individual buyers. But now, these problems can be solved through the Internet of Things.

The Internet of Things can give identity cards to agricultural products. In the process of agricultural product distribution, by adding bar code, QR code or radio frequency identification tag to the packaging of agricultural products, the scanning device can be used to quickly and conveniently read all the information of agricultural products, such as origin, quality, and distribution process. , delivery staff, etc. This can greatly improve the distribution management level of fresh agricultural products, facilitate the implementation of after-sales services such as return and exchange, and help to ensure food safety. This is a huge advantage for agricultural product distributors, especially fresh e-commerce and order farming.
