Intelligent application based on Ames 4G/5G wireless transmission gateway

1、 Programme background

Traditional orchard management relies on artificial experience, and there are problems such as resource waste (water and fertilizer), delayed response to diseases and pests, and isolated data islands. By deploying Ames 4G/5G intelligent gateway, connecting orchard sensors, execution equipment and UAVs, the closed-loop of environmental monitoring data analysis intelligent control is realized, improving orchard output and quality, and reducing operating costs.

2、 Core function module
Intelligent environmental monitoring

Soil moisture monitoring: connect the soil temperature and humidity, pH value, EC value sensors through the RS485 interface, and upload them to the cloud platform in real time.

Meteorological data collection: connect wind speed, light and rain sensors to warn of extreme weather such as frost and drought.

Video monitoring: connect the camera through the gateway to view the growth of fruit trees, diseases and pests in real time (such as AI identification of red spiders and anthrax).

Water fertilizer integrated automatic control

Intelligent irrigation: according to the soil moisture threshold, the solenoid valve is controlled through the DI/DO interface of the gateway to link the drip irrigation system.

Precision fertilization: combine the soil EC value data to automatically adjust the fertilizer concentration to avoid over fertilization.

UAV collaborative management

Remote control: transmit UAV aerial data through the 4G/5G network of the gateway to generate NDVI (normalized vegetation index) atlas of fruit trees.

Precision application: based on the AI identification results of diseases and pests, plan the UAV flight prevention path, and reduce the pesticide consumption by more than 30%.

Remote operation and maintenance of equipment

Centralized gateway management: Configure gateway parameters and upgrade firmware remotely through the cloud platform, and support customized protocols (such as Modbus to MQTT).

Fault alarm: when the device is offline or the sensor is abnormal, the SMS/APP alarm will be automatically pushed.

Data analysis and decision-making

Digital orchard board: visual display of environmental data, equipment status, and yield prediction.

AI model optimization: recommend the best irrigation/fertilization schedule based on historical data.

3、 Technical implementation

Hardware layer: Ames 4G/5G gateway (multi interface support: RS485 to sensor, Ethernet to camera, DI/DO to irrigation valve).

Sensor nodes (soil, weather, pest forecasting lights).

Execution equipment (solenoid valve, UAV, intelligent fertilizer dispenser).

Transport layer: The gateway uploads data to the cloud platform through 4G/5G/wired network, covering remote orchards.

Platform layer: cloud data storage and analysis, supporting mobile APP/PC terminal multi terminal access.

4、 Deployment advantages

Rapid deployment: the gateway is plug and play, without complex wiring, and suitable for complex terrain such as mountains and greenhouses.

High reliability: industrial design, wide temperature operation at -30 ℃~70 ℃, dustproof and moisture-proof.

Flexible expansion: support protocol customization, and can interface with existing agricultural ERP systems or third-party equipment.

5、 Application scenarios

Water saving irrigation: the irrigation amount of hilly orchards shall be regulated according to the gradient zoning.

Disease and pest control: camera+AI identify aphids and trigger UAV to spray at fixed points.

Quality traceability: record environmental data throughout the process and generate traceability files of agricultural blockchain.

6、 Expected benefits

Cost reduction: reduce water and fertilizer waste by more than 20%, and reduce the frequency of manual inspection.

Yield increase: through precise management, the sugar content and color of fruits are improved, and the commercial fruit rate is increased by 15%.

Sustainability: reduce pesticide residues and meet the green agriculture certification standards.

7、 Case reference
After the deployment of an apple planting base, the irrigation water consumption decreased by 25%, and the annual electricity cost was saved by 180000 yuan; The accuracy rate of pest identification reached 90%, and the pesticide cost was reduced by 40%.
