Unmanned harvester assistance

At present, the autumn harvest in Lingwu City is coming to an end. This year’s paddy fields have ushered in a new face – unmanned harvesters, which have added intelligent and digital “wings” to the rice harvest, giving it a full sense of technology.

On October 7th, at the Smart Farm in Lingwu City, harvesting rice can only hear the sound of machinery, without seeing the farmers. The operator remotely harvests rice in the intelligent CNC center. After the warehouse is full, the unmanned harvester automatically drives towards the unloading area, completing a grain unloading process.

The biggest role of achieving unmanned harvesting on standardized harvesting sites is to achieve stable harvesting, and the grain finishing rate is 5-8% higher than that of regular harvesters. Ordinary harvesters have a loss reduction rate of 2-2.5%, but the loss reduction rate of unmanned harvesters does not exceed 1.5%. “said Wang Gang, the person in charge of Ningxia Green Pioneer Agricultural Science and Technology Development Co., Ltd.

It is understood that the first unmanned smart farm built in Dayangqi Village, Majiatan Town, Lingwu City, Ningxia, through the support of technologies such as the Internet of Things and Beidou, can not only achieve unmanned food production, but also help upgrade smart agriculture and help farmers transition from “skilled farming” to “intelligent farming”.

In recent years, the Agriculture and Rural Bureau of Lingwu City has guided agricultural operating entities to actively purchase agricultural IoT equipment, accelerate the application of intelligent technology, and gradually formed a three-level intelligent agricultural service platform of “city governing township, township governing village, and village gathering and dispersing”, promoting the agricultural informatization and intelligent technology application of Lingwu City to gradually lead the entire district.

Next, Lingwu Bureau of Agriculture and Rural Affairs will continue to demonstrate and promote technology applications such as “Internet plus+, cloud technology, sensor system, Internet of Things, and agricultural big data” with the goal of building high-quality smart agricultural service platform technology applications, strengthen the docking and cooperation with agricultural service entities, agricultural high-tech companies, and relevant colleges and universities, and improve and perfect various modern agricultural information elements, Strive to achieve a “double harvest” of economic and social benefits in agricultural production.
