Industrial Internet Empowers Smart Agriculture
With the rapid development of IoT technology, smart agriculture is becoming an essential direction for modern agricultural transformation and upgrading. Shenzhen Huizhi Technology, as a leading enterprise in the industrial communication field, showcases the broad application prospects of its 4G industrial gateway in smart agriculture due to its stable and reliable performance.
▶ Applications of 4G Industrial Gateway in Smart Agriculture
1. Environmental Data Collection and Monitoring
Huizhi Technology’s 4G industrial gateway can connect to various sensors to collect real-time environmental data from farmland or greenhouses, such as temperature, humidity, light intensity, carbon dioxide concentration, and soil moisture. This data is uploaded to a cloud management platform via a 4G network, enabling comprehensive monitoring of the cultivation environment.
2. Remote and Automated Control
Based on the collected data, the gateway can remotely or automatically control irrigation systems, ventilation equipment, shading systems, and more. For instance, when soil moisture falls below a preset threshold, the system can automatically activate irrigation equipment to optimize resource utilization and improve production efficiency.
3. Intelligent Management Platform
By connecting to a cloud platform via the 4G gateway, users can remotely view and analyze environmental data, set alarm thresholds, and develop precise cultivation strategies. The platform also supports historical data analysis, providing scientific insights for predicting crop growth trends and optimizing yields.
4. Unattended Operations and Fault Diagnosis
The industrial-grade design ensures that the 4G gateway operates stably in harsh environments while supporting remote maintenance and fault diagnosis functions, significantly reducing labor management costs.
▶Technical Advantages
1. Multi-Network Connectivity and Intelligent Switching
Huizhi Technology’s WIS901 4G gateway supports multiple network connections (such as Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and 4G) with intelligent switching capabilities to ensure stable and continuous network connectivity—even in remote areas.
2. High Encryption and Security
Data transmission employs encryption technologies like TLS to ensure the security of agricultural production data and prevent information leakage or tampering.
3. Industrial-Grade Durability
Designed to meet industrial standards, the device supports wide temperature operation (-40°C to +80°C) and offers electromagnetic interference resistance, making it ideal for outdoor deployment.
▶ Real-World Applications in Smart Agriculture
- In greenhouse cultivation, the 4G industrial gateway enables real-time monitoring of parameters such as temperature, humidity, and light intensity. It automatically adjusts irrigation and ventilation systems based on preset conditions to enhance crop yield and quality.
- In large-scale farming operations, the gateway connects soil sensors and weather stations to transmit real-time data to cloud platforms. This facilitates precise fertilization and irrigation while reducing resource wastage.
▶ Conclusion
Shenzhen Huizhi Technology’s 4G industrial gateway provides reliable technical support for smart agriculture through efficient data collection and transmission capabilities as well as robust remote control functionalities. It not only improves traditional agricultural production models but also drives agriculture toward digitalization and intelligence. This contributes to enhanced production efficiency and resource utilization while creating greater value for modern agriculture.
