Growing grapes with a smartphone

Yonhap News Agency · 2018. 07. 26

Yonhap News reported on a smartphone-based smart farm technology commercialized by the Korea Institute of Industrial Technology — and transferred to JINONG. IoT sensors stream eight kinds of growth data, from temperature and humidity to light, and growers can control their farms from a phone.

With support from Hwaseong city, JINONG rolled the system out across 56 local grape farms, then approaching their first harvest. At a 20-30 percent lower setup cost than conventional smart farms, the article notes, it puts smart farming within reach of smallholders.

This summary was written by JINONG. See the original for the full story — most sources are in Korean.
