HMI-based agricultural Automation System
Application of automation and computer technology means to achieve agricultural production and management of automation, agricultural modernization is one of the important symbols. Mechanization of agriculture achieved by mechanical power and electricity in place of human and animal power to the work of mechanical hand tools to replace people. Since the 70s, agriculture and promote the use of automatic control, computer, systems engineering, remote sensing technology, the realization of part of their production operations and management automation has made to improve the operating quality, efficiency and safety, labor-saving effects. Agricultural automation include cultivation, cultivation, harvesting, transport, irrigation, crop management, livestock farming, such as automatic control of the process and greenhouse and optimum management.
●Cultivation, cultivation, harvesting and transport of Automatic Control:
In this regard is the use of high-speed, wide and self-farm tools, the use of hydraulic control, automatic rapid articulated, automatic monitoring and troubleshooting. Unmanned tractors and remote control unit has also been partial experiment.
●Automatic irrigation and drainage systems:
Radio-controlled device has been applied spray irrigation of farmland. It consists of launchers and receivers (see the remote control). Launcher small size and light weight, easy to carry devices to receive an electric motor used in the irrigation and drainage. Managers found to have been lots radio device that sent the control signals to control the motor and pump spray irrigation. When the spray irrigation water to meet the requirement when the issue of control signals, stop irrigation. There is also a need to participate in management, according to the situation of rice fields were determined automatically evaporation of water supply or water automatic irrigation systems.
●Crop automatic management system:
Application of electronic computer to adjust its crop layout, according to crop growth characteristics of a comprehensive analysis of the ecological environment of various factors, to develop the best possible cost-effective management programs. For example, the choice of crop varieties suitable for cultivation and crop fertilization best time, quantity, forecasting the occurrence of pests and diseases and extent of the period, providing the application of pharmacy, medicine and prevention and treatment information for decision-making time. 70 since the beginning of remote sensing technology and systems engineering in agricultural production and management are applied.
●Livestock keepers Automation:
Chickens, pigs and cattle and other automation systems are in its core computer, it automatically selected to meet the nutritional requirements of livestock, the lowest-cost formula for livestock feed or implemented from time to time quantitative custody in groups under the conditions of individual manage. For example, the use of electronic computer to carry out chicken feed formula for feeding, watering, lighting, temperature, take eggs, such as automatic control Conservancy can save a lot of labor, to raise chickens laying rate. In addition, the use of electronic computer records and the processing of livestock also the relevant data, to provide selection, breeding management, the optimal program.
Greenhouse control and management of agricultural automation in the field of rapid development. General greenhouse control and management system consists of sensors, computers and the corresponding control system. It can automatically adjust light, water, fertilizer, temperature, humidity and carbon dioxide concentrations for the growth of plants to create the optimal environment and the promotion of plant photosynthesis and respiration, evaporation, energy conversion and other physical activities. Greenhouse optimal control and management system is the core of electronic computer. Its main function is to conduct an environmental control, greenhouse data and plant response data to identify, control algorithms and settings of the decision, greenhouse management. Automation and electronic computer is also used in vegetable production factory and soilless culture and so on.
Agriculture automation systems related to the case:
- ● Greenhouse Monitoring System
- ● Flowers and Seedlings efficient irrigation systems, greenhouse Tide
