Accelerating Agricultural Digitalization in Changting: Advanced Agricultural Machinery “Smart” Farming

Rice has developed a “new pattern”. On the 6th, at the demonstration meeting for the promotion of new machines and tools in Changting County at the 10000 mu rice production base in Hetian Town, Changting County, driverless Rice transplanter, rice throwing machine and other advanced agricultural machines were operating in the field.

After the operator completes the positioning and debugging on site, place the seedling tray on the seedling loading platform (as shown in the above figure). Then, the rice Rice transplanter began to run back and forth on the fields in an orderly manner, planting rows of neat seedlings; The machinery will also automatically turn around and change lanes, and follow the terrain to drive the rice seedling platform to automatically lift and lower. Except for manual seedling delivery, the machines are completely in automatic operation mode, and the accuracy and quality of seedling planting are both excellent.

“The rice seedling thrower at today’s on-site meeting is the first one in Longyan, which has been tested for more than 100 mu in the early season; while the unmanned Rice transplanter is a further breakthrough in the application of digitalization to agriculture, which has significantly reduced labor costs and increased benefits.” Fu Muqing, head of Yuanfeng High quality Rice Production Base in Changting County, said.

It is reported that the unmanned Rice transplanter is equipped with the Beidou satellite navigation driving system, and can plan the optimal route by itself by completing the positioning and parameter setting through the mobile phone terminal system. The staff presses the start button, and the machine can automatically plant seedlings in the field. At the same time, through the intelligent data analysis and positioning of the system, the driverless Rice transplanter can accurately control the row spacing and seedling spacing, ensuring the stable and orderly arrangement of seedlings.

It is understood that compared with the traditional Rice transplanter, the driverless Rice transplanter is not limited by the driver’s working time, which can greatly improve the automation level and operating efficiency of rice transplanter, save labor costs and improve the efficiency of rice transplanter.
