DX for agriculture!NTT West Japan Group, Ehime University, Aozora Co., Ltd. Demonstration experiment on crop production control

The NTT West Japan Group has started demonstration experiments on agricultural production management using digital with Ehime University and Aozora Co., Ltd.

High -precision analysis is implemented from aerial images taken using a low -cost general -purpose drone.It stabilizes the production quality and yield of agricultural crops, deterring waste loss due to surplus production, and achieving highly productive agriculture.

Do not throw a stone with DX in "unreadable agriculture"

Domestic agriculture in which the decline in agricultural employment population and the number of farmers accelerates.The most important issue is how low -cost agricultural products are among limited resources.In addition, stable supply for agriculture, which is greatly affected by the weather, is not easy.On the other hand, there is also a contradictory problem that it is not well managed and excessively produces crops and causes waste loss.

In order to improve these "unreadable agriculture", we aim to establish production methods using drone shooting technology.

Visualization of growth with drones

農業にDXを！ NTT西日本グループ、愛媛大学、青空株式会社...の画像はこちら >>今回の実証実験では、三者が得意分野を活かしながら連携します。愛媛大学が開発した低コストで導入可能な独自の圃場分析技術、NTT西日本グループのドローン・ソリューションとクラウド基盤を活用し、圃場における農作物の生育状況を分析する仕組みを構築。そして、実証実験のフィールドを提供するのは青空株式会社。同社のレタスを汎用ドローンカメラが空撮して分析するという流れです。

After visualizing the growth status, we aim to provide a mechanism to reduce the amount of fertilizer required to the necessary parts and reduce the variation in lettuce growth and quality.Existing technology required expensive devices, but the newly introduced general -purpose drone is attractive for farmers and low cost.I have a feeling that it will develop into services that can be used by any farmer in the future.

The other day, I feel the rapid speed of DX in agriculture and livestock industry, such as the news of co -deployment of the agricultural ICT platform "CROPSCOPE", and the start of DX demonstration experiments for pig farming and feed management.。
