5G enables agricultural wisdom to lead life

In the last two years, 5G, artificial intelligence (AI) , Edge Computing and other new technologies have gradually become popular, and in a continuation of thousands of years of traditional industry-agriculture. One is that agriculture is entering an ERA of data intelligence, where new technologies make crop monitoring, precision breeding, and on-demand allocation of environmental resources a reality. Agriculture no longer depends on the day to eat, our country agriculture is carrying on the digitization, the intellectualization transformation, is about to enter the intelligent agriculture time.

From precision farming to smart farming precision farming is a modern farming system that originated in the US in the 1990s. It uses intelligent agricultural machinery equipment to automatically sow, spray, fertilize and harvest crops, the work efficiency far surpasses the traditional farmer, can reduce the cost further. 5G + AI + Edge computing helps intelligent agriculture in 2019, our country officially entered the 5G era. 5G technology will first directly drive the agricultural sensor connection type and data technology upgrade, the farming industry, animal husbandry, fruit and vegetable industry, aquaculture and other fields of Internet of things equipment will be mature application. The network connection can carry on the accurate control and the real-time data transmission to the agricultural machinery. At the same time, Edge Computing complements cloud computing by working with artificial intelligence (AI) to provide real-time, efficient local decision-making on the edge side of the network and closer to the device side of the data source. Compared with cloud computing, Edge computing is closer to users and more efficient for data processing and analysis at edge nodes. Because the data is distributed on the edge, the network can be protected more effectively, and the security of the data can be enhanced.

It is important to precisely control and manage the growing environment and links of plants in the intelligent agriculture scene application greenhouse scene. Data collection, water and fertilizer control, intelligent management, digital farm platform and other technologies are used to manage seedling, planting, growth management, harvest, fallow and other planting links. In the shed, the edge AI computer is deployed to acquire the key index data through the sensor collection equipment, intelligent judgment, control the water and fertilizer system to carry out irrigation and fertilization, and the sky curtain system to control the illumination, visual acquisition monitors crop growth. And the relevant data are periodically synchronized to the cloud-based agricultural management system to provide a basis for its scientific decision-making. Another area, intelligent animal husbandry, is most widely used in dairy farms, pig farms and chicken farms. The precision feeding system of pig farm needs to realize the functions of quantity statistics, weight estimation, track tracking, Slaughter Monitoring and early warning of abnormal situation. With the help of Edge computer application monitoring technology, including intelligent identification of each pig's identity, movement trajectory, estrus and health monitoring, intelligent detection of extrusion piglets, etc. , thus effectively improve the live pig survival rate and sell out rate. The Edge Ai realizes the humanization of the whole pig-raising process and the intelligent and scientific management of the operation process. Today, the traditional agricultural production scenario is developing towards the direction of intensive and intelligent. The intensification will greatly reduce the production cost and increase the production income; the intellectualization will promote the data perception, the intelligent management and the intelligent decision-making of the whole production process, and realize the interconnection of the agricultural scene.
