Shengxin Garden Strawberry Harvesting Park in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia utilizes the Smart Greenhouse Internet of Things System by Shengqi Agriculture.

I. Project Background

Hohhot City is currently developing a modern urban leisure and sightseeing agricultural layout, creating a "one core, five rings, and four belts" modern urban leisure and sightseeing agricultural system. Relying on key facility agriculture in the outskirts, a comprehensive urban modern leisure and sightseeing agricultural industry core circle is formed within a 20-kilometer radius of the central urban area. Centered around the county towns of five agricultural banners, a modern urban agricultural five ring is established with a 10-kilometer radius, primarily serving the residents' daily life and consumption. Utilizing the resources of mountains, forests, lakes, rivers, and grasslands around the capital city, and based on existing facility agriculture, a mountainous modern agricultural industrial belt is developed along the Daqingshan. Similarly, a riverine modern agricultural industrial belt is established along the Yellow River. Modern agricultural industrial belts along lakes such as Hashu Lake in Tuloushi Banner, Wuyi Reservoir in Xincheng District, Shizui Reservoir in Helin County, Dangyang Bridge Reservoir in Qingshu River County, and Nanhu in Tuokou County are also established. Furthermore, modern agricultural industrial belts along roads like the Huhao, Huhuan, Hushuo Expressways, National Highway 110 and 209, Provincial Roads 102, 103, and 104, ecological roads, Tumu River Road, and Jinseng Road are developed. This forms an overall development pattern of urban modern agriculture that surrounds the center, connects in rings, and radiates in belts.

Section II: Project Overview

In recent years, Hohhot has continuously adjusted and optimized its agricultural industrial structure, focusing on facility fruit and flower industries. Based on leisure and sightseeing picking, the city has prioritized the construction of facility fruit and vegetable bases in Xincheng District, Saihan District, Tuzuo Banner, Tuoxian County, and Helin County, with strawberries, grapes, and melons as the main crops. Leveraging the cool climate conditions in Wuchuan County, efforts are being made to establish a cold-weather strawberry seedling, production, and processing base. To meet the high-quality living needs of the general public, relying on existing potted flower planting gardens and fresh cut flower bases, the city is focusing on developing a number of facility flower planting bases in Xincheng District, Saihan District, Yutong District, and Helin County.

Thus, the Shengxin Garden Strawberry Harvesting Park in Hohhot was established. The park was equipped with an intelligent agricultural Internet of Things greenhouse by Shijiazhuang Shengqi Technology, which has promoted the modernization of the park's development.

This project is located within the Shengxin Yuan Strawberry Harvesting Garden in Hohhot. It involves the Shijiazhuang Shengqi Technology Co., Ltd. assisting the garden in constructing a smart greenhouse system based on agricultural Internet of Things (IoT). The smart greenhouse environmental monitoring system collects data on air temperature and humidity, carbon dioxide levels in the air, and light intensity through various sensors. The data is transmitted to the control center via Ethernet, 4G, or Wi-Fi signals. The control center compares the real-time data against pre-set parameters based on human experience, determining if the conditions meet the requirements. Users can view the current status of the greenhouse and remotely control it through a mobile app or computer.

The core of our intelligent greenhouse environmental control system is the intelligent terminal cabinet, which is developed by our company and paired with our intelligent environmental control system software. It allows for control of the entire greenhouse's modules, such as windproof blankets, via the LCD touch screen on the cabinet. It also monitors data within the greenhouse, including soil temperature and humidity, pH level, air temperature and humidity, and light intensity. Both software and hardware customization can be tailored to the user's specific needs.

The Miaoqing Monitoring System allows for a clear and intuitive real-time view of crop growth and pest and disease conditions in planting areas, as well as timely monitoring and recording of sudden abnormal events, providing efficient command and dispatch.

The Indoor Agricultural Meteorological Data Collection System is a comprehensive, compact, and automated agricultural meteorological station designed to meet the needs of real-time monitoring of agricultural ecological environments, environmental monitoring related to agricultural production activities, and farmland meteorological environment regulation. It continuously monitors and collects information on agricultural meteorological factors closely related to vegetation and crop growth, such as soil, water vapor, light, and heat. It provides comprehensive monitoring of crop growth status and soil moisture conditions in farmlands, allowing for timely tracking of growth conditions within greenhouses. When growth is restricted due to these factors, users can quickly respond and implement emergency preventive measures. This system thus offers scientific data and decision-making support for agricultural production, agricultural environmental research, crop improvement, phenological monitoring of crops, and pest and disease control, among other production management tasks. It can be widely used in agricultural production, scientific research, and standard measurements.

A functional advantage of an IoT greenhouse intelligent system:

Utilizing a visual programming language to design an interface-friendly environmental monitoring and management system, enabling remote monitoring of the monitored environment.

The software platform allows for customizable upper and lower limit settings, with alarm notifications via SMS or other means. It offers remote real-time monitoring of sensor data.

Data management features support database management, photo-taking, data querying, exporting, printing statistical analysis, and chart analysis, among various data processing functions.

Online monitoring of various environmental factor parameters in a list format, with display options including curve trend charts and column trend displays.

Quickly locate and download the required data by searching through dates, and export it in Excel spreadsheet format.

Display the editing device interface, where you can set data collection intervals and configure geographic settings, including location coordinates. Simply click the save button to successfully complete the process.

GPS locate, add the desired location in Baidu Maps, and then copy and paste its coordinates.

Set up alerts, enable alert settings, and receive SMS notifications by adding your phone number to stay informed about which weather conditions trigger an alarm.

Sensor Settings: Click the Edit button to set the alarm values for each sensor according to actual conditions.

With the added support of an intelligent greenhouse control system, not only can the breeding process be significantly accelerated, but it also enables the transition from 'experience-based breeding' to 'precision breeding'."
