Project Background

Smart agriculture is the direction of current agricultural transformation, and also the specific manifestation of smart economy in agriculture. Smart agriculture can effectively eliminate poverty, and it is also an effective way to apply new technologies to drive agricultural development, improve agricultural production efficiency, and improve the quality of agricultural products.

It can be said that the Internet of Things is one of the most important technologies to realize the transformation of smart agriculture. However, as far as the current application is concerned, IoT technology still faces many difficulties if it wants to go into every household. The reasons are as follows:

1. In the development process of the solution, due to the wide range of equipment, inconsistent data interfaces, and large and disordered data, the development cost of the server platform is high, the database structure and business design are complex, and the development and maintenance are difficult.
2. In the application process, there are large differences in data indicators, more demands for data analysis and application scenarios, and farmers' limited ability to control information technology. How to present data results simply and conveniently has become a thorny problem.

Solution

In the face of these problems, Tengxiang Intelligent has built its own intelligent agricultural comprehensive management platform with the help of Baidu Yuntiangong intelligent Internet of Things platform.

Tengxiang Smart is a smart agricultural brand under Jinan Maimiao Information Technology Co., Ltd. As an enterprise specializing in the development of intelligent agricultural solutions, after three years of development, its solutions have been launched in Shandong, Anhui, Henan and Hebei provinces, and have been piloted in Northeast China, Inner Mongolia and other places, involving various sensors such as air temperature and humidity, soil temperature and humidity, pH, light, carbon dioxide, wind speed and wind speed detection Remote relay control, etc. Its technical application scenarios cover various kinds of intelligent control and data monitoring, such as animal husbandry, aquaculture, vegetables, fruits, flowers, field cultivation, etc., and truly realize intelligent monitoring and automatic control, PC, mobile app, WeChat and other comprehensive terminal technology product solutions.

In the words of the relevant person in charge of Tengxiang Intelligence, "after cooperating with Baidu Cloud Tiangong, it has truly realized end-to-end, from data acquisition, transmission, calculation, storage, display to analysis, and one-stop comprehensive assistance to agriculture to achieve intelligence and informatization".

One stop management to reduce enterprise operation and maintenance costs

Different agricultural scenes and different crops have different data information, and there are many kinds of intelligent devices. Due to different types of sensors and data interfaces, large differences in equipment index management, and large and disordered data volume, the development cost of server platform has risen, database structure and business design have become more complex, and uncertainty in development and maintenance has increased.

"We are faced with greater uncertainty, and the cost of operation and maintenance is increasing. We need a stable, reliable and mature platform urgently. After investigation, we unanimously believe that Baidu Yuntiangong is the best choice." Tengxiang Intelligent said.

At present, through the joint efforts of both sides, the Tengxiang intelligent intelligent agriculture comprehensive management platform has been developed, and various agricultural intelligent devices have been connected.

By using the access service of natural objects, the intelligent agriculture integrated management platform can establish a two-way safe and reliable connection between the device and the cloud. Whether it is a device based scenario or a data based scenario, it can easily meet the basic use requirements of the device such as data analysis, storage, early warning, push control, etc., and also support the monitoring, fault prediction Alert push, remote firmware upgrade, etc.

In addition, users need not worry about the concurrent support of massive device data. The intelligent agriculture integrated management platform has completely solved the problems of underlying device access, device management, and data storage.

"Through the Tiangong Internet of Things platform, all kinds of intelligent agricultural equipment can go to the cloud in one step, which greatly reduces the cost of platform architecture operation and maintenance, allows us to focus more on agricultural production, and greatly accelerates the application process of Internet of Things technology in the agricultural field." Tengxiang Intelligent said.

Easy to understand, so that the data can speak

For the agricultural Internet of Things, there is another more difficult problem than solving the access of intelligent devices, that is, how to make the device data more simple and direct. As for farmers, their professional knowledge is relatively lacking. The more simple and clear information, the more conducive to their management and application.

However, traditional visual development often encounters various problems such as inflexible development adaptation, long cycle, frequent changes in requirements, etc. How to achieve intelligent and automated management based on data, really help farmers improve their production management level, enable farmers to easily understand these data, and master these intelligent technologies is another problem faced by Tengxiang Intelligence.

Customer income

Baidu Cloud's time series database (TSDB) and object visualization services played a key role in it. "TSDB and object visualization services have greatly reduced our development costs, improved development efficiency, truly achieved the automatic dynamic configuration analysis and presentation of data visualization development, and supported the automatic size adaptation of the resolution of large visual screens, automatic adaptation of mobile phone components, etc." said Tengxiang Smart.

Specifically, Baidu Cloud TSDB and Wuwei can be accessed through simple platform joint debugging. While putting the device terminal on the cloud, it can also record the transmitted device status and various sensor data, and store them in chronological sequence. Domain values and tag values are stored in the TSDB database, realizing the time serialization of storage and management.

The resulting benefits are obvious. With the high-performance read-write API, strong computing and multi ecology provided by the platform, users can even complete the development of visual charts by dragging and dropping only in the case of zero programming of visual objects while realizing data storage and computing. WYSIWYG visual experience enables users to easily configure various data analysis trend charts, pie charts, real-time monitoring data values, etc.

In other words, farmers can grasp all the information by simply clicking the operation mode on their mobile phones and make corresponding decisions accordingly.

Future Outlook

The Internet of Things is ubiquitous and is extending to all industries. The application in the agricultural field is undoubtedly the most basic and close to the people's livelihood. At present, driven by the Internet of Things technology, the distribution, management and production efficiency of agricultural resources are steadily improving.

In the future, Baidu Cloud hopes to endow its years of technology accumulation with more partners dedicated to the development of agricultural intelligence, so as to better promote the development of the agricultural industry.
