Chaipattana Basis, dtac and NECTEC workforce as much as proceed analysis challenge of Lingzhi mushroom with 5G, IoT & machine studying

16 August, 2022 – The Chaipattana Basis, dtac, and the Nationwide Electronics and Laptop Expertise Centre (NECTEC), which is a part of the Nationwide Science and Expertise Growth Company (NSTDA), inked the second section of their co-research initiative into Lingzhi mushroom good farming, brining 5G know-how, Web of issues (IoT) and machine studying to the challenge following preliminary success in rising Lingzhi mushroom in single digit levels celsius.

The initiative is performed on the basis’s Highland Agriculture Analysis and Growth Undertaking, Fang subdistrict, Chiangmai province, and is aimed toward selling digital and administration expertise by means of greenhouse cultivation amongst Thai farmers, leading to a greater high quality of life and sustainable earnings technology.

Sumet Tantivejkul, secretary-general of the Chaipattana Basis, says “This collaboration of the Chaipattana Basis, dtac, and the NECTEC marks the continuity of our co-research that goes again to our first experiment within the winter of 2019. All of us contributed to a profitable experiment and improvement of gadgets that managed the mushroom’s greenhouse atmosphere. Because of our efforts, the managed atmosphere got here considerably near the true atmosphere that finest helps rising Lingzhi mushrooms. Now, we have now launched into this new collaboration to help continued educational and manufacturing-technology improvement, resulting in know-how disruption to ensure that farmers to have the ability to adapt to emergening good farming developments. Applied sciences and digital options will play a job in greenhouse administration sooner or later, empowering digital-age farmers who will then get pleasure from a greater high quality of life in addition to better financial, social, and environmental advantages in a manner that additionally helps sustainable improvement”.

Boonchai Bencharongkul, chair of the board of administrators at dtac, says “dtac is able to totally help the Chaipattana Basis on a continued foundation for the aim of empowering farmer teams with applied sciences paving the way in which for not simply their wellbeing but additionally Thailand’s total prosperity. The success of such targets will mark the ‘true victory of improvement’. Our collaboration now enters its fourth 12 months with 5G know-how used for the in-depth analysis on Lingzhi mushroom development and low season cultivation. Thus far, our collaboration has already led to the profitable cultivation of Lingzhi mushrooms through the winter when temperatures are decrease than 10 levels Celsius. dtac and the NECTEC have delivered to the collaboration IoT know-how and sensing gadgets, cameras, and numerous measuring devices. Our challenge has discovered that Lingzhi mushrooms are delicate to their atmosphere, thus additional collaboration will contain know-how and specialists on machine studying, synthetic intelligence (AI) and cloud methods. Our co-research will grow to be much more environment friendly with information compiled and analysed real-time, enabling the identification of correct parameters, boosting Lingzhi-mushroom farms’ productiveness each in and low season cultivation as farmers acquire extra digital expertise.

Chai Wutiwiwatchai, government director of the NECTEC, says “The second section of our co-research marks a milestone within the nation’s analysis and improvement in agriculture for the longer term, creating an ecosystem that facilitates the usage of agritech, which may apply at native ranges, and units examples for numerous fields of agriculture with the targets of including worth, creating jobs, and producing sustainable earnings. We have now recruited the assistance of the Nationwide Biobank of Thailand – which can be underneath NTSDA – for our co-research that goals to determine correct environmental components that might profit Lingzhi mushroom development. We have now already simulated the fascinating atmosphere by integrating information from sensors and related photographs. AI applied sciences are deployed for evaluation and experiment planning. As well as, we have now explored manufacturing formulation to seek out the one which most accurately fits winter and requires the bottom electrical energy bills, which shall be utilized to giant Lingzhi mushroom greenhouses sooner or later”.

The section 2 of the initiative is a vital mission, which originated from the outcomes of our discipline journey involving the examine and analysis on the challenge website on Could 1, 2019 throughout Section 1. Now, Section 2, the following chapter of our collaboration has taken off. Section 2 will run for 3 years however the collaboration seems to be set to proceed additional in pursuit of our predominant aim of enabling farmers to embrace the advantages of the digital economic system with good high quality of life, which can in flip strengthen Thailand’s total prosperity.
