Beijing Zitong Smart Agriculture Technology Co., Ltd. utilizes the 4G dedicated IoT gateway GM01 combined with a LoRa communication module to connect remote LoRa wireless collectors and controllers. Together with a dedicated app and cloud platform, this forms a smart agriculture application scenario that directly serves frontline agricultural production. This application is also a typical example of IoT in the field of smart agriculture.
In agricultural application scenarios, LoRa wireless connects terminal sensors and controllers, while the 4G data network connects to the internet. Through a dedicated app on mobile smart devices (smartphones), users can manage their farms. This not only solves the weak electrical wiring issues during system integration but also empowers users with new functionalities to directly participate in agricultural production using mobile smart devices (smartphones). Additionally, through cloud interaction, a complete data set of the production control process is established, which is used for tracking and recording production activities, laying a data foundation for precision agriculture.
With this smart agriculture IoT system, farmers can manage their farms from anywhere with internet access on their smartphones. They can also use an automatic mode to delegate farm management to the system, such as scheduled watering, ventilation, or automatically adjusting the crop growth environment based on certain parameters. This system not only significantly reduces the labor intensity for farmers but also saves agricultural production materials, increases yield, and improves the marketability of agricultural products, directly enhancing agricultural production efficiency. From the results of current large-scale applications, the effects are immediate.
