Yanmar Green System Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Yanmar Green System") is a company that designs, constructs, after-sales services, sells related products and parts, undertakes civil engineering, construction work, design and management for agricultural plants.
At a food processing company in Saga Prefecture, which is a customer of the company, OPTEX's IoT wireless unit was adopted as a trial introduction for remote confirmation of the operating status of strawberry cultivation device.
Work on holidays to check the cultivation device
The strawberry mobile cultivation device of Yanmar Green System is a facility that allows strawberries to be placed on a cultivation bench and automatically transported by a motor to water and to prevent diseases.
If you set a schedule in advance, you can also water the strawberries automatically.
However, if a problem occurs in the cultivation device, watering will not be possible and it will hinder the cultivation of strawberries. In order to avoid such troubles, it was necessary for the person in charge of the food processing company to come to the cultivation facility every day to check the status of the device. Even on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays when farming such as harvesting is not performed, it may be necessary to go to work just to check the status of the device. Customers have asked for improvement in this situation.
Watering with strawberry mobile cultivation device
Grasp the operating status from a remote location
We have built a system that can notify the status of cultivation device developed by Yanmar Green System as "start of operation", "end of operation", and "Error" to the strawberry cultivation staff of the food processing company and the service personnel of Yanmar Green System by email.
Since it is now possible to grasp the operating status of the device from a remote location, it is no longer necessary for the strawberry grower of a food processing company to go to work on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays.
In addition, Yanmar Green System will be able to quickly respond by accumulating the operating status of the device as data and instructing the person in charge to confirm and respond to the site when it is necessary to take on-site measures such as device failure. became.

Comment from Yanmar Green System
We adopted it because we thought that the simple installation and communication settings of the IoT wireless unit and the low communication cost were the most suitable for the operation of this system. Since we can build a system that can respond to troubles speedily, it is useful for improving the satisfaction of customers who have introduced it. We would like to continue to increase the number of sites that can be used for anomaly detection, etc., and collaborate in the field of horticulture!
Comment from the strawberry farm
We are ready for the year-end and New Year holidays, which have many holidays. We would like to manage the cultivation with peace of mind and deliver delicious strawberries to our customers.
