CETC Supports Smart Agriculture with Digital Technologies

Updated: September 07, 2022

Abundant food contributes to peace. Food has been a key to people's lives from ancient times to the present. Improving grain output and agricultural efficiency has always been crucial and China Electronics Technology Group Corporation (CETC) continues to play its part.

CETC has developed various cutting-edge technologies to increase output and farming efficiency.

A single granary worker is now able to manage several granaries by using software through which information like the grain grade, quantity, type, entry time, temperature and humidity can be clearly seen.

CETC has also developed a provincial smart grain distributed cloud platform that links with various kinds of grain information systems, realizing connectivity, centralized monitoring and multi-dimensional analysis of grain-related data. The platform can also support grain purchases and storage, aerial inspection of natural disasters and emergencies, and grain distribution, and help improve informatization and automatic management of primary-level grain depots.

Weather counts a lot for grain growth, quantity and quality. CETC developed an automatic agricultural meteorological station that enables real-time integrated observation of the atmosphere and the land. It is expected to help effectively respond to climate change and reduce its impact on grain growth and provide precise and smart solutions for agricultural production.

In addition to observation technologies, CETC has also developed farming helpers.

For example, its smart farm machine equipped with the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System is able to precisely design the operation route and work for 24 hours a day, which improves farming efficiency and quality.

Thanks to those technologies, tractors and unmanned aerial vehicles are now seen automatically operating on farms while operators check the farm land area and seeding quantity on their smart phones through related applications.
