ICP DAS makes full use of all features related to industrial grade products, including immunity to sun exposure, stability, and low-energy consumption, which can help achieve the greatest benefits for both indoor and outdoor applications, as well as meeting the different professional needs of the farm owners when they are introduced to smart farming sites. Our existing application examples include poultry culturing (chickens, ducks, and pigs), fish farms, corn fields, mushrooms, orchids, and seed banks.

The classification of and access to electricity consumption information is defined here as the monitoring of production equipment, motors, pumps, refrigerating and air-conditioning, air compressors, heating equipment, and lighting to obtain electricity consumption information and status of each circuit, and the automatically generation of reports by the system, from which the information and status can be further integrated with an MES and/or ERP system to precisely calculate the unit cost of the electricity consumption.

There are various needs related to outdoor agriculture, such as large-scale corn field planting, outdoor fish farms facing the demands of winter injury control, where stable and highly effective modules are required in order to help control the related equipment, as well as the various features that are associated with those modules, such as water resistance, and immunity to cold and sun exposure, so as to accommodate the outdoor environment.

Considering that greenhouse agriculture is designed to provide a stable environment for growing crops, where the measurement and control of water, air, temperature, and humidity inside the greenhouse is crucial, ICP DAS provides environmental sensors that include communication capabilities as well as intelligent Programmable Automation Controllers that help farmers control when water sprinkling, air exhaust and ventilation, and blackout shades are switched on or off, as well as collecting relevant environmental data for background analysis and improving the production process.

Starting from the three elements, water, air, and electricity, ICP DAS first summarizes a number of key items that should be considered in the computer facilities. The most important aspects in terms of the environment that need to be taken into account first are the access control, water leakage, the monitoring of indoor humidity, the monitoring of electric power information, the uninterruptible power system (UPS), and the detection of 4G signal strength.
