1 APAN 31 st Meeting, 24 (21-25) Feb HKCEC, Hong Kong AGRISERVER : Real-time Agricultural Farm Monitoring System using Sensor Network Yasunori Saito 1*, Kazuki Kobayashi 1, Takanobu Suzuki 2, Tokihiro Fukatsu 3, and Masayuki Hirafuji 3 1 Shinshu University, Wakasato, Nagano City, Nagano, Japan 2 Nagano Prefecture Agricultural Experiment Station, 492 Ogawara, Suzaka, Nagano, Japan 3 National Agricultural Research Center, Kannondai, Tsukuba, Ibaraki, Japan saitoh@cs.shinshu-u.ac.jp

2 Introduction Synopsis A sensing network system named AGRISERVER available in agricultural farms was developed and its long time operation has been confirmed. Data applications to agricultural related industries, are proposed. Contents 1. Background and Motivation 2. Methodology (AGRISERVER) 3. Demonstration 4. Agro-information : Application of Data 5. Conclusion

3 Background and Motivation Background Status of agriculture in Japan Some difficulties Social requirements Energy sources Natural environmental effects Social environment, etc Motivation Give answers from the viewpoint of Engineering

4 AGRISERVER Methodology : AGRISERVER (Concept) Opened Agriculture Showing agro-information Telling what s going on in field People s interests to agriculture Get information from the public Introduction of ICT based sensing system into farm Sensor technology (get information) + The Internet (collect and distribute information) + Web application (show and open information)

5 AGRISERVER: Sensing Node Solar intensity, Web camera Temperature & Humidity, Soil temp, Wireless LAN Temperature & Humidity Digital single-lens reflex camera, LAN Grape farm Chestnut farm Apple farm

6 Demonstration : Location (Obuse Town, Nagano, Japan) Sensor Node LAN Access point 720m Paprika House NARC (Tsukuba) Obuse Town Chestnut Farm 80m Grape Farm 160m LAN Shinshu Univ. (Nagano) Apple Farm, Agro-industrial Center

7 Demonstration : Browsing on the Web NARC Version Shinshu Univ. Version

8 Demonstration : High Definition Image Zoom Keep high definition With a digital single-lens reflex camera

9 Demonstration : High Definition Image

10 Agro-Information : Application of Data Data Base and Contents For Cultivation Production effectiveness Cultivation technique with numerical data Branded products For Management Report on Agricultural chemical use Good Agricultural Practice (GAP) Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) Positivelist For Communication with Consumers Individual buying and selling through the Internet Direct contact between consumers and farmers Safety net For Education Young generation s interest in agriculture

11 Agro-Information : For Cultivation 2009/07/01-09/ /07/01-09/23 Grape: Small size (smaller) Color (good), Production (good) 2009/10/07 06:00 Harvest Day 2010/10/16 06:00

12 Agro-Information : For Cultivation Report on Low temperature (JA Obuse-branch) Grape sprouts suffers serious damages when the temperature is below -1.1 degree. It requires some provision against the low temperature. Fuel burning is one of effective provisions. 2010/04/25 02:10 Real-time temperature data from AGRISERVER Fuel burning to warm the air at a grape farm
