Published purpose

Japan ATR Horticulture project with Japanese partner Toray to develop inexpensive, self-powered edge analytics nodes designed for use in controlled horticulture environments such as greenhouses and vertical farms. A Proof Of Concept project has been established with a major Japanese construction company developing a new residential area greenhouse concept, but they are experiencing problems with pest insect infestations. Using machine intelligence at the edge nodes equipped with insect traps and many sensors including cameras, bugs are identified along with associated environmental readings. More data processing and machine intelligence algorithms at the cloud data center receive edge node reports and identify patterns in pest occurrence, optimizing greenhouse operations.
