ioFarm
Republic of Korea
Developed by Agricultural Corporation ioCrops Inc., the ioCrops remotely operate greenhouses using Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT) technology to manage the greenhouse environment with the help of their sensors like weight and soil sensors which can be used to determine the water supply interval, build precise watering strategies, and monitor soil moisture management. ioFarm generates a decision-making algorithm based on irrigation / climate / crop data collected from its sensors and robots. This allows autonomous greenhouse operation. ioCrops is currently using ioFarm to operate greenhouses all across Korea from its headquarters in Seoul.
