Beidous "Divine Weapon" Helps Smart Agri

[P] . CCTV News: Currently, wheat is entering the harvest season in many parts of China. Nowadays, in an increasing number of places, during the busy season of the "Three Summers", we see only agricultural machinery but not people. From agricultural machinery equipment to smart agricultural platforms, today's food production cannot do without the power of technology. From the joint operation of various agricultural machinery to unmanned and Beidou satellite navigation large agricultural machinery, "technological farming maps" are spreading out in vast fields.

In the wheat fields of Shangguan Town, Huaxian County, Henan Province, multiple types of agricultural machinery are working together. Behind the harvester are the rake and straw baler. The rake will gather scattered straw into rows, and the baler will closely follow the adsorption of straw, collect and bundle it. Transport vehicles will pull the stacked straw to breeding farms and power plants for comprehensive utilization.

In Tianchang, Anhui, with the help of Beidou agricultural machinery operation monitoring terminal and 5G, IoT and other technologies, a smart agricultural command and dispatch platform has been launched, which can more efficiently dispatch various resources, achieve organic integration of human, machine, and land, and achieve refined management and grid services. When grain farmers need agricultural machinery to operate, they only need to give feedback by phone, and the dispatch center will locate idle agricultural machinery at a suitable distance to operate.

New Experience of Technology Efficiency Enhancement in Agricultural Machinery Hand Wheat Harvesting

Technological assistance has also enabled the upgrading of agricultural machinery and equipment. From Hubei to Jiangsu, the agricultural machinery operator, Fang Hongbing, has been operating the latest harvesters across different regions for over 20 days. He told reporters that although wheat is harvested in the scorching summer, the comfort level has greatly improved compared to before.

Jiangsu Huai'an Agricultural Machinery Operator Fang Hongbing: When we harvest normally, once the air conditioning is turned on and the cool air is blown towards people, it is cleaner than before (because there is no need to open the window).

The new harvester not only has a much better cockpit environment than before, but also thanks to the Beidou system, the harvesting route and area are clearly visible, which greatly reduces the divergence between agricultural machinery operators and farmers regarding the operating area value.

Assist in providing all-weather support for summer harvesting intelligent harvesters

When the wheat fields were in full swing, the harvester backend service command center thousands of miles away was also bustling with activity. The staff there are fully engaged in decision-making and security work through information collection and analysis.

Wang Liying, Information Department of Jiangsu Wode Agricultural Machinery Co., Ltd.: From the current platform, it can be seen that there are currently over 190000 vehicles operating on the platform. At that time, the number of agricultural machinery in operation was 42266.

With the arrival of the wheat harvest peak, more and more harvesters based on Beidou are being put into the "Three Summers" operation. At the same time as an agricultural machine is rushing to harvest, there are more than ten satellites in space continuously providing data information such as the harvester's operation trajectory and status. According to the real-time positioning of each harvester, during the summer harvest, there will be a spare parts service through car near the area where the harvester is concentrated to provide support work. The through car is filled with various parts of the harvester, and each through car is also equipped with 2 field rescue vehicles and 5 service personnel, who are on standby 24/7 to ensure that farmers can successfully complete the summer harvest.
