Plant factory into investment hot

Based on information technology, intelligent agriculture has solved the problem of less labor and realized the transformation and upgrading of the agricultural industry. The plant factory uses the computer to automatically control the environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity, light, carbon dioxide concentration and nutrient solution of the plant and realizes mass production of plants in a short period of time in a small space.

LED grow lights in the plant factory

A plant factory greenhouse that requires 10 people to manage, can harvest 1 million vegetables and sell one million USD a year. The plant factory first appeared in northern Europe, and there are currently more than 400 artificial plant factories in the world, half of which are in Japan. Located in Japan, a plant factory the plant is a closed-plan environment in a two-story building surrounded by vegetable greenhouses. The staff monitors the growth of vegetables through the computer management system. Vegetables take about 20 days from planting to seedling. The staff can monitor the temperature, humidity, and light of the greenhouse through displayers to realize remote operation.

In recent years, plant factories have become a popular target for global agricultural investment. One of the reasons for the increase in investment is the large-scale use of LED grow lights in plant factories. In the past, the electricity costs accounted for about 25% of the total costs of plant factories. In other words, the application of LED grow lights reduced the costs of investment and production. It is understood that, at present, agriculture LED lighting plant factories mainly produce various vegetables. Meanwhile, researchers are concerned about higher value-added medicines.
