Digital farms

Management of basic processes of a farm happens in real time from the remote center based on the cloud SCADA system using artificial intelligence technologies (AI). The digital farm allows to plan production of end products and to receive the predicted harvest in strictly set terms. Exact management of climatic parameters based on AI (watering, ventilation, lighting, moistening, etc.) allows to achieve optimal conditions of cultivation. Programmable logic controllers support the set technological parameters in the automatic mode that removes need of permanent service of farms on places and does not require presence of service staff. The customer receives the first harvest in 2 weeks after delivery of a farm in operation.
