Smart Autumn Harvest Assistant Self-Introduction

Have you ever seen strawberries growing in the sky? I’m not kidding, I can grow strawberries in the sky.

You can call me the "Strawberry Waterfall" digital planting operating system. It is currently the most advanced digital planting system for soilless strawberry cultivation in the world. It uses a digital planting system developed by the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Collaborative Innovation Institute of Smart Agriculture.

I consist of three parts: a smart greenhouse, a liftable suspended soilless cultivation system and a digital water-fertilizer integrated precision irrigation and fertilization system . It is a digital strawberry operating system built by integrating sensors, big data and artificial intelligence.

I mainly include: facility agriculture data collection and control software and hardware systems (environmental data, phenotypic data), strawberry digital model (water and fertilizer control, pesticide control, temperature, light and humidity control, phenotypic identification and target detection), strawberry production intelligent management expert system (precision fertilization management, precision pesticide management, precision irrigation management, precision temperature, light and humidity control management), strawberry pesticide residue, organic pollutant and heavy metal rapid detection system (SERS rapid detection system, test paper rapid detection system), strawberry low-temperature plasma preservation and automatic packaging system.

I have many advantages

I can use environmental data collection devices, intelligent control devices, edge algorithm gateways, integrated water and fertilizer irrigation devices, and crop phenotypic data collection and analysis devices to achieve precise control of temperature, light, water, and fertilizer throughout the strawberry planting process, control and adjust the environmental index in the greenhouse at any time, and provide a precise cultivation environment for the plants in the greenhouse, effectively improve the growth rate and quality, reduce management costs, and achieve increased production and efficiency. It has the characteristics of high density, automation, labor saving, water and fertilizer saving, environmental friendliness, and wide adaptability.

The traditional open-air strawberry planting method has a large soil continuous cropping obstacle. With my help, the growers can make good use of substrate cultivation and adopt the substrate recycling technology developed by the Smart Agriculture Collaborative Innovation Institute to effectively solve the strawberry disease and pest problems.

At the same time, due to the meticulous management of strawberries, people need to pick and take care of them, which is very laborious. With my help, the growers only need to use the lifting equipment to adjust the strawberry planting equipment to the appropriate position.

In other words, the planting staff only needs to click the mouse or press a button, and the pipes that are closely connected to each other on my body will quickly rise and fall to the preset height.

At present, I can achieve a planting density of 20 strawberry seedlings per square meter, which can greatly increase the average yield per mu.

In fact, I can serve more than just strawberry planting. I can be used for both strawberry production and strawberry seedling breeding.

In addition, because I moved strawberries from the ground to the air, the strawberry planting area is also a crop rotation area (can be used for strawberry-tomato rotation, strawberry-rice rotation), a watermelon three-dimensional cultivation area, a hot pot area, a fish-vegetable symbiosis area, and an excellent scene for sightseeing experience and science education.

During my independent research and development process, a number of original and innovative technological achievements have emerged, and 14 intellectual property rights such as national invention patents have been authorized, including: 1 invention patent, 6 utility model patents, and 7 software copyrights. An independent intellectual property system is being formed.

Message from the Assistant

With the help of my smart technology, not only are the strawberries "sweet", but every strawberry is also "sweet". While helping people expand the scale of strawberry cultivation and improve the quality of strawberries, I have also lit up the road to rural revitalization and lifted the people's hopes of increasing their income and getting rich.
