What are the improvements in agricultural equipment and technology

In order to agricultural farmland sustainable development, many farmland farming strategy tends to be less plowing late plowing, or a slight transformation of the landmarks of the way, also known as conservation tillage, this kind of farming naturally also need to be equipped with the corresponding supporting measures, combined with today’s automatic monitoring, Internet of Things, navigation and positioning technology, agricultural machinery and technology is also expected to be more intelligent.

Protected tillage

Some teams from agricultural research institutions have conducted research on issues such as enhancing the intelligence of conservation tillage equipment, mainly through automatic navigation and measurement and control technologies, i.e., starting from contact, machine vision and GNSS automatic navigation technologies for three types of no-till seeding, combined with farm information perception, intelligent decision-making, remote control of agricultural equipment and other technologies.

The study summarizes the existing applications of automatic navigation and measurement and control technologies in conservation tillage, and outlooks the future research direction of three technologies, such as automatic navigation of conservation tillage equipment, monitoring of operation parameters and operation control of conservation tillage equipment, which point out the direction for conservation tillage equipment to achieve intelligence.

Agricultural equipment and technology

GNSS navigation-based operation speed monitoring technology is the use of Doppler frequency shift principle, directly derive the operating speed of the implements, and then according to the operating width can calculate the operating area of the implements in the time, GNSS navigation can a

lso obtain the operating position information of the implements, so as to avoid duplication of work or unworked plots when changing rows, which not only can eliminate the mechanical scribe, reduce the manufacturing cost of implements, but also can improve the operating accuracy and efficiency. Moreover, it can improve the operation accuracy and operation efficiency.

Positioning system applied to agriculture

The automatic navigation technology, measurement and control technology in the research refers to the feedback control based on machine vision, GPS navigation, inertial navigation and other methods to achieve autonomous path planning of vehicles, which is also widely used in facility agriculture. Usually the use of GPS BeiDou positioning module to feedback the position signal, that is, GNSS-style navigation technology, by obtaining the signal from GPS, BeiDou and other global positioning navigation system, feedback to the host computer, according to positioning information to guide the vehicle’s driving speed, path, etc., to play automatic navigation, path supervision and other purposes.

Positioning module applied to agriculture

Applied in agriculture, it needs to combine the monitoring technology of agricultural operation parameters, such as ground straw coverage, operation area, planting crop type, tillage planter leakage, operation depth and other factors, a variety of factors combined with automated regulation.

Intelligence is an important way to improve the quality and efficiency of conservation tillage equipment operations, as an important part of intelligent technology, the future of agriculture, agricultural equipment, agricultural production methods and other aspects will be applied to develop rapidly, I believe that the development of intelligent agriculture will become increasingly intelligent.
