智慧农业如何优化植物生长和监测健康参数
IoT and Industry 4.0 technologies have started to significantly change every type of production. The agricultural industry is no exception.
如今，物联网和工业4.0技术正在显著地改变各行各业的生产方式，农业行业也不例外。
This is why we have teamed up with Pierucci Agricoltura Srl, to create an IoT-enabled solution that is capable of real-time monitoring and recording of plant cultivation in nurseries.
这就是为什么我们与 Pierucci Agricoltura Srl 合作，共同构建一个能够实时监测和记录苗圃中的植物生长情况的物联网解决方案的原因。
Here is what Pierucci’s CEO had to say about our collaboration:
“For a long time we were looking for a smart agricultural solution that could help us optimize cultivation growth and reduce maintenance costs as well as energy consumption. With Zerynth’s help, we released our solution to the market, which is unique in the horticultural sector. The project has been an astounding success: it achieved all objectives in less than 6 months, opened a new revenue stream for us, and significantly increased our competitive edge.”
Pierucci 公司的 CEO 这么评价与我们的合作：
“长期以来，我们一直在寻找一种智能农业解决方案，该解决方案可以帮助我们优化作物生长并降低维护成本以及能源消耗。在 Zerynth 的帮助下，我们向市场发布了我们的解决方案，这在园艺行业中是独一无二的。该项目取得了惊人的成功：在不到6个月的时间内实现了所有目标，为我们打开了新的收入来源，并显着提高了我们的竞争优势。”
现代农业的挑战
Challenges of modern agriculture
Growing plants commercially requires a lot of careful planning. Monitoring nutrients, sunlight, and other parameters is critical for successful cultivation.
商业上的种植需要大量周密的计划，监测养分、阳光和其他一些参数对于农作物的成功栽培是至关重要的。
Monitoring and control are even more strict for plant nurseries. Since nurseries have complex systems of young plants they require more agronomic treatment and attention for their nutrition and defense.
对于植物苗圃的监测和控制要求更加严格，这是因为苗圃内具有复杂的幼小植物系统，需要在养分供给和病虫防治方面给予更多关注和处理。
Also, these types of farms must adhere to government-mandated standards for achieving environmental and economic sustainability. Efficient use of fertilizers and pesticides, water containment, energy consumption, and a decrease in the risk of cultivar damage from system malfunctions and atmospheric events is crucial.
此外，这些类型的农场必须遵守政府规定的标准，以实现环境和经济的可持续性。高效使用肥料和杀虫剂、控制水含量、减少能源消耗，以及降低因系统故障和大气事件造成的作物损伤风险都是至关重要的。
Nurset —— 由 Zerynth 驱动的观赏植物栽培 IoT 方案
Nurset, a Zerynth-powered IoT solution for cultivation of ornamental plants
The Zerynth team has provided Nurset as the solution to the problems Pierucci has been facing.
Zerynth 团队为 Pierucci 提供了 Nurset 解决方案，以解决其所面临的问题。
Nurset is an IoT-enabled solution designed for monitoring the cultivation of ornamental plants in nurseries. We built it using the 4ZeroBox – our industrial IoT device for data acquisition, monitoring, and control of machines. The 4ZeroBox was then connected directly to the Cloud through the zDeviceManager.
Nurset 是一套基于 IoT 技术的解决方案，旨在监控苗圃中观赏植物的种植。我们使用 4ZeroBox（一个用于数据采集、监测和控制的工业物联网设备）获取数据，并通过 zDeviceManager 直接与云端连接。
This system allows information analysis, manages an alert system, and digitizes documentation for nutrition and crop protection. You can find out more about it on the Case Study page.
该系统可以进行信息分析、管理警报系统，并为养分和作物保护进行数字化处理。你可以在 Case Study page 页面找到更多相关信息。
