Brings Digital Agriculture into Fig Plantation in Shandong China

Since ancient times the fig has been used for human consumption, as sweet and refreshing fresh fruit, as the tasty dried fig. Recently the nutritive value has been highlighted.
  1. The pectic substances are useful to prevent the blocking of veins
  2. In infantile feeding, figs provide calcium for children who are allergic to milk
  3. The high fiber content has laxative effects
  4. A diet based on figs can prevent cancer of the colon and slow down the development of carcinomas
With all of these positive attributes, fig plantation has become increasingly popular among farmers.

Background

Thanks to the excellent geography and climate conditions, fig trees are well growing in Weihai, Shandong and it has been honored as National Geographical Indication Protection Product of Weihai. In this background, a leading fig fruit company from Weihai cooperates with us in order to take the fig industry to the next level.

Challenges

  • Difficult to obtain the growth environmental data of fig trees
  • Traditional manual irrigation results in resource excess or insufficiency
  • A larger planting scale requires unified management

Solutions

The fig plantation monitoring solution is completely provided by our LoRaWAN® product portfolios. Soil information like moisture, temperature, and electrical conductivity can be measured by our IOT-S500-SMTC, and be transmitted to IoT Cloud via G67 LoRaWAN® gateway. By means of intelligent data analysis of IoT Cloud, it can send command to the IOT-C511 solenoid valve controller to control irrigation automatically.
Besides, other sensors like IOT-S500-CO2, IOT-S500-LGT are implemented in this project to detect the CO2 concentration, temperature, humidity, barometric pressure and lightning conditions, which are important to fig trees’ growth.
