Digital platform to Digitize Tomato Value Chain
China
Digital platform to Digitize Tomato Value Chain is an Internet of Things (IoT) based greenhouse based digital solution which supports smart agricultural industry and specifically, digitizes tomoto value chains with the help of a mobile app. It helps in increasing the productivity and output, and ensure that the tomatoes produced are rich in juice, uniform in quality, size and taste, and full in grains. At present, the annual output of tomatoes per unit area in smart glass greenhouses is 6-8 times that of traditional greenhouses. Behind the high yield and high quality of tomatoes is the support of more than 2,000 "big data" collected in real time by this digital solution every day. There are 423 sensors and 1,165 controllers installed in the greenhouse which can collect data on temperature, light, water, gas and fertilizer in real time. The collected data is uploaded to the "Agricultural Brain" system, and the optimal solution is obtained after analysis for watering and fertilization.
