The food industry moves towards intelligence

  The autumn wind blows and the rice is ripe.

  Thinking of the autumn harvest, what is the picture in your mind?

Are the farmers hunched over and sweating like rain, or are the agricultural machinery advancing neatly?

  Thinking of shipping grain, what was it like?

Carts, carts, millet, corn, soybeans, sorghum?

  As for the storage of grain, have you thought of the full storage and the golden eyes...

  Nowadays, the traditional "hoe, pick, sickle and plow" is turning into an intelligent "golden horse and iron horse". The changes brought by the leapfrog development of technology to the food industry will subvert your imagination.

  During the harvest season, the third China Grain Trade Conference was held in Fuzhou from October 19th to 21st.

In this exhibition with the theme of "Gathering high quality, strengthening the industry, increasing vitality, and smooth circulation-building a strong grain industry and stabilizing food security", more than 2,600 companies participated in the exhibition, many of which brought their own new technologies. ,New product.

  In fact, in the production, storage and marketing of grain and oil products, informatization, digitalization, and intelligence have played and increasingly important roles. Unmanned farms, informatization of grain transportation, intelligence of grain storage, and grain sales network Transformation... has become a reality.

1 Unmanned farm, automatic grain harvesting by agricultural machinery

  In the endless, golden wave of rice fields, an unmanned intelligent harvester uses satellite navigation and positioning to move forward at a uniform speed, rumbling forward.

  The harvester can automatically plan the path, and when it encounters the end of the ridge, it will automatically turn around and "spit out" crushed straw behind it.

After a while, the storage of the fuselage showed that it was full of rice grains.

From the rear, the unmanned grain receiving machine "hears the news" came, accurately docked with the harvester, and received the rice from the harvester.

In just 90 seconds, the grain transport machine was full and quickly turned around and returned to the warehouse.

  With the help of Beidou navigation satellite positioning, the unmanned harvester not only improves harvesting accuracy, but also greatly reduces food loss.

There is no missing grain in the crushed straw on site, ensuring that the pellets are returned to the warehouse.

  This is the world's first unmanned farm over 10,000 acres-the scene of autumn grain harvesting in Jiansanjiang Qixing Farm in Heilongjiang.

  According to Luo Xiwen, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and a professor at South China Agricultural University, this unmanned farm pilot demonstration project is currently the largest domestic and foreign staple food crops, with the most agricultural machinery and equipment participating in experimental demonstrations, the most complete operating link projects, and unmanned technology. The most advanced, unmanned farm project with the highest degree of unmanned farm machinery field operations.

  The agricultural machinery management cloud platform can be described as the "brain center" of the unmanned farm project.

On the second floor of the farm’s agricultural Internet of Things and Big Data Center, a huge electronic screen displays field soil, agricultural meteorology, crop growth, early warning of diseases, pests and weeds, as well as the operating status and operating data of each agricultural equipment.

Staff only need to sit in the central office to remotely monitor unmanned agricultural machinery and equipment for independent production operations in different fields.

  The staff at the fair introduced that not only is the “unmanned” and intelligentized grain harvesting, the unmanned farm has also realized the “unmanned” of 20 agricultural machinery operations such as paddy field stalk construction, seedling transplanting, and dry field ridge and seeding. .

  Agricultural machinery operations are becoming more and more intelligent, is it difficult to operate?

A VR remote training system at the China Grain Trade Conference allows you to easily become a "driver" for agricultural machinery operations.

  This remote training management system based on virtual reality technology enables you to access the basic principles of agricultural machinery use without touching physical machines and wear VR glasses, master the use of agricultural machinery faster, and carry out agricultural machinery VR remote training and maintenance.

2 Beidou cold chain logistics tracking system, the guardian of food transportation under emergency conditions

  As the old saying goes, the soldiers and horses have not moved, the food and grass go first.

  Earthquakes, floods, mudslides... In the event of natural disasters or wars and other emergency situations, the normal communication network is interrupted. How to track the location of the grain trucks and know the situation of the grain trucks in time to ensure the safety of food transportation and protect every grain Can it be delivered to where it is needed?

  Please rest assured that under the national Beidou satellite system system, the Beidou cold chain logistics tracking system can still play a normal role to maintain smooth communication and develop positioning services.

  As the leading unit of grain engineering design in the grain industry, the International Trade Engineering Design Institute has made many innovative explorations in the areas of bulk, networking, informatization, standardization, and facility modernization in the promotion of modernized grain logistics.

  At this trade fair, the Beidou cold chain logistics tracking system jointly designed and developed by the institute and Shangyu Hebei Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. attracted a lot of attention.

  The temperature and humidity requirements are very high during grain transportation.

Based on Beidou positioning technology, this information system for cold chain vehicles, goods and personnel management can not only provide logistics management units with accurate vehicle location information and road condition information, but also track real-time vehicle temperature and humidity information at any time.

  In addition, the system can provide timely delivery information to logistics management units, and realize personnel emergency communication and emergency dispatch management.

  The staff at the fair introduced that the system is composed of Beidou Grain Emergency Service Platform Software, Beidou Grain Emergency Management Software, Satellite Cluster Communication Equipment, Vehicle-mounted Multi-mode Information Terminal, and Portable Beidou Information Terminal.

  Among them, the Beidou grain emergency service platform software runs on the central server, and exchanges business data with the management information system, realizes data reading and pushes emergency management information, and provides all grain emergency management software, vehicle-mounted multi-mode information terminals, and portable Beidou information terminals Network service and Beidou short message communication service.

  The Beidou food emergency management software communicates with other management nodes through the network and Beidou satellite short messages to realize business management in emergency situations.

  The satellite cluster communication equipment installed at each management node provides Beidou communication services for Beidou food emergency management software.

  In addition, the vehicle-mounted multi-mode information terminal is fixedly installed in its own vehicle to realize emergency food transportation by operating the display and control panel, and provide services such as location monitoring, video monitoring, warehouse temperature and humidity monitoring, and SOS.

In case of an emergency, the portable Beidou information terminal can be easily installed on a temporary social expropriation vehicle, and emergency food transportation can be realized by operating the display control panel.

  The staff of the trade fair introduced: "The application of this system and the full use of its multiple functions can ensure that food transportation can respond to disasters and respond in wartime."

3 New grain storage technology, a granary steward who saves and loses grain

  Thousands of tons of grain lie quietly in the tall granary with a length of tens of meters each and a height of seven or eight meters... This is a common scene in a granary.

  In the past, "physical examination" for the granary was an individual task.

What is the temperature, humidity and ventilation in the granary?

The detection is detailed and complicated.

Among other things, just a long thermometer must be plugged in at intervals.

  But now, if you want to understand these, the staff don't have to be there in person.

Hundreds of grain temperature sensors are distributed in different positions of each granary. Sitting in the office and turning on the computer, you can see the changes in grain temperature, moisture, etc. everywhere in the silo. It is convenient to take timely measures to effectively prevent pests and molds. occur.

  Nowadays, many grain depots in our country have realized intelligence.

  On the grain condition detection operation platform of the intelligent grain condition monitoring center, multiple templates such as intelligent grain condition, intelligent security, quantity measurement, intelligent ventilation, and intelligent air conditioning are all available.

All warehouses of the intelligent grain depot are equipped with equipment such as electronic temperature measurement, mechanical ventilation, internal circulation and intelligent grain condition monitoring system.

With the help of these new technologies, cold sources are stored in winter and intelligent circulation in summer, so that grain is always stored in the "air-conditioned room", realizing green quasi-low temperature storage.

This not only effectively reduces the loss of stored grain, but also greatly reduces the probability of grain infestation and mildew, and guarantees the quality of each grain.

Online monitoring can not only view information such as grain temperature, but also can clearly see a single grain after zooming in through the camera.

  The storage of grain is solved, what should I do to keep the grain?

  When hazardous work such as phosphine insecticide is carried out in the granary, the staff cannot enter due to the toxicity of the gas.

At this time, it is the turn of the warehouse inspection robot to appear.

  The warehouse patrol robot designed and developed by Inspur is an intelligent patrol robot that integrates artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, cloud computing, and big data.

The reporter saw on the scene of the trade fair that the robot was small in appearance and had big cute eyes. It was under the control of the staff and moved flexibly on the ground.

  According to the staff, its two big eyes are HD cameras and infrared cameras.

High-definition cameras can realize face recognition, image recognition, etc., while infrared cameras can sense temperature, detect body temperature, and detect fire.

Below the big eyes is a pan-tilt that can rotate 360 ​​degrees, and there are four panoramic cameras below the pan-tilt.

  The entire warehouse patrol robot integrates environment perception, dynamic decision-making, behavior control and alarm devices. It has the capabilities of autonomous perception, autonomous walking, autonomous protection, and autonomous identification. It can help the grain depot complete basic, repetitive, and dangerous security tasks. Defend the patrolled granary "Little Guard".

  As a warehousing clerk, are you always afraid of not being able to grasp the rapidly developing new grain storage technology in time?

  Don't worry, the grain condition detection and analysis decision-making system will help you.

  This system can automatically warn the heating points of grain piles and analyze the possibility of condensation on grain piles; it can automatically identify low-temperature warehouses, quasi-low temperature warehouses, and temperature-controlled warehouses, and assist in evaluation of storage management work; it can carry out temperature control effect analysis 、Analysis of heat transfer and transfer law and stability analysis of grain storage; it can guide warehouse keeper to apply new grain storage technology; it can also automatically obtain grain condition data and eliminate erroneous data...effectively solve traditional grain condition measurement and control system analysis, early warning, and decision-making The problem of weak function.

  Park intelligent warehouse management, park intelligent warehouse management, park intelligent operation management...In the Huawei exhibition area, the staff introduced the panorama of Huawei's smart grain storage park solution to reporters.

From park overview, comprehensive security, operation analysis, grain management, security situation, asset statistics, environmental monitoring to energy efficiency analysis, etc., every link is digitalized.

4 Cloud sales, let high-quality grains and oils go to the people's table

  The intervention of science and technology has made grain sales more convenient.

  In Hunan, Anhui, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Henan, Hubei and other places, a grain-sale reservation app-"Benefit Sannong" app, has quietly emerged among large grain farmers.

  The reporter learned at the trade fair that farmers can receive grain depot notifications, estimate grain sales prices, and inquire about grain purchase policies and market information through this APP.

Online booking of grain sales through APP can not only reduce queue time and improve grain sales efficiency, but also reduce the cost of personnel and vehicles when farmers sell grain.

In addition, poor farmers can also preferentially sell grain through APP.

  At present, the "Hui San Nong" APP has been connected to the relevant purchase system, further improving the efficiency of purchase and storage, opening up the entire chain of appointment, purchase, and settlement, so that farmers no longer worry about queuing for grain sales.

  "1-2-3, link up!" "Nothing! Next product!"

  On October 19th, in the Guizhou Pavilion of the Fair, the staff were selling agricultural products from Zunyi through Taobao live broadcast.

  Bamboo fragrant rice, square bamboo shoots, non-sulfur bamboo shoots, chili sauce... featured agricultural products are displayed in front of the camera one by one, and orders are generated one by one.

  While signing the transaction on the spot, the "cloud" live room and live delivery of the trade fair are also extremely popular.

  It is understood that this trade fair has constructed a new type of trading system consisting of the grain trade conference, China Good Cereals and Oils Electronic Trading Platform, and Good Cereals and Oils VR Cloud Exhibition Hall, taking into account both online and offline trading modes.

  At the trade fair, more than 1,500 companies participated in the online display through various channels, set up live delivery rooms on the spot, deepened production and sales cooperation and built docking, so that high-quality grain and oil products with local characteristics from all over the country went to society and entered the people's table.

  According to the Fujian Provincial Bureau of Grain and Material Reserves, within the three-day meeting period, the transaction value reached 36.17 billion yuan between enterprises to reach purchase and sales intentions.

Among them, 10.349 million tons of various grains and oils were traded online on the electronic trading platform, amounting to 29.24 billion yuan.
