Corporate culture:
Integration+wisdom+innovation, agriculture is one of the core areas of Foxconn's "+Internet" action plan. Using science and technology and internet technology to promote agricultural innovation, farmers get a bumper harvest and realize industrial prosperity;
Using science and technology to help upgrade agriculture, Foxconn smart agriculture makes everyone "eat with confidence"
More than twenty years have passed since President Guo talked about the idea of building Foxconn's intelligent agriculture. Now, only two 1 1 meter-high columns are still standing in the stamping workshop of B9 in Longhua Park. 14 In July, standing in the sightseeing area on the second floor of B9 Building, through the floor-to-ceiling window more than 10 meters high, we can see that hundreds of vegetables are sprouting and growing on the 12-floor planting frame in the south area of Foxconn Yuankang Plant Factory. From 20 17 to 10, the stamping factory spent an extraordinary nine months from stamping factory to Yuankang factory. This is a baptism of science and technology, and it is also a microcosm of Foxconn's cross-border industrial layout in smart agriculture. Fortunately, among the more than 40,000 plant factories in China, Yuankang Plant Factory is operating in an orderly manner. "Building a modern aquaculture industrial base has been an idea for many years. I want Foxconn employees to eat meat, eggs and vegetables. " The idea of building Foxconn intelligent agriculture can be traced back to the modern breeding base mentioned by Chairman Guo Taiming when he visited Heyuan in 2002. 16 years later, following the current upsurge of artificial intelligence and big data, Foxconn's layout in smart agriculture has been put on the agenda, and smart agriculture has become one of the directions of the group's transformation.
The vegetables on the planting shelf are growing healthily. 14 layer planting frame, hundreds of vegetables put on dust-proof clothes, hats and shoe covers, and the air shower room is the last process to enter Yuankang Plant Factory. "The air shower room has the function of sterilization and dust removal. In order to ensure the safety, green and pollution-free of cultivated vegetables, it is necessary to ensure a zero-pollution working environment. " Wang Luyao, a technician at the plant factory, said. Walking into the workshop of Yuankang Plant Factory, you are greeted by a group of workers wearing blue dust-proof clothes and several working machines. "This is a fully automatic seeder. There is a seed vibrating screen and a seed suction needle on the left side of the machine. The frequency of vibration and the time of seed suction are preset. After seed suction is completed, it will move to the right side of the machine, and the seed suction needle will sow on the placed medium. The number of seeds sown at one time is 96, and the success rate is basically 99%. " The planting tray for sowing seeds should be pressed with water to create a growing environment for the seeds, then put them into the seedling tray number and turn them into a dark room for germination. The seeds are white, that is, they can be moved to the nursery area after breaking the barrier and sprouting. "Vegetables grow up slowly, and when the leaves are covered with each other, they will move into the nursery area. After that, vegetables need more spacious growth space because they absorb more nutrients. At this time, they need to be transferred to the cultivation area. After the vegetables in the cultivation area are ripe, they can be picked. " In the planting area, there are neat 13 planting racks, and the highest one has 14 floor. "This is just the southern district. There are seven areas in the planting area, namely South 1, South 2, South 3, North 1, North 2, North 3 and North 4. At present, three districts in the south have been put into use. " Yu Ping, a senior manager in charge of plant factory promotion, said, "Each district is independent and does not affect each other." At present, Foxconn Yuankang Plant Factory has a planting area of over 23,000 square meters, hundreds of cultivated varieties and a daily output of 2.5 tons, making it the highest plant factory in Asia. This has attracted many well-known universities and enterprises to visit. In June this year, on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the Group, Yuankang Plant Factory also ushered in the first bumper harvest, and has harvested dozens of vegetables such as Kyoto watercress, Fushan lettuce, common lettuce and sesame leaves. "I hope Foxconn employees eat meat, eggs and vegetables." From the central canteen to Yuankang Plant Factory, Mr. Guo has always been concerned about the food safety of employees and hopes that employees can eat with peace of mind.
The first batch of green pollution-free vegetables produced by the factory group have been successfully delivered to some employees through free tasting, giving and other employee welfare methods. In the future, every employee of Foxconn can eat the dishes grown by the group.
According to statistics, there are more than 40,000 plant factories in China at present, but few of them really realize large-scale production. What makes the daily output of Foxconn Yuankang Plant Factory as high as 2.5 tons, ranking first in Asia? In addition to its large scale, it is worth mentioning that it has four core technologies, namely, nutrient solution ratio, artificial solar panels, ultra-fine bubble water and Mozart effect of plants. Different from soil farming, plant factories adopt nutrient solution cultivation. Each vegetable needs different nutrient elements, and the composition and proportion of nutrient solution are very important. Plant ash, tobacco leaf powder, shell powder and probiotics are selectively added into the nutrient solution of Yuankang Plant Factory according to a certain proportion. "We will prepare nutrient solution according to a certain proportion according to the nutrition that is most suitable for plant growth. The added probiotics can protect plants and promote their nutrient absorption. " Plant photosynthesis only absorbs part of the light emitted by the sun, such as infrared rays and ultraviolet rays, which not only does not help plant growth, but even has a negative impact. The "artificial sun" developed by Yuankang Plant Factory is more energy-saving. Compared with ordinary LED light source, it can save energy by more than 70% and its service life can exceed 10 years. More intelligently, it can filter out harmful and useless light according to the growth needs of different plants, and provide the most suitable light for plant photosynthesis. "You can observe that different artificial solar panels emit different colors of light, and you can also feel the temperature with your hands." The roots of plants not only absorb nutrients, but also breathe. If the dissolved oxygen in the nutrient solution is insufficient, bad bacteria will quickly spread all over the cultivation channels, causing plant root diseases. Ultrafine bubble water technology can make water rich in oxygen. Its bubble diameter is less than 10-6 meters, and there are 1 100 million bubbles per 1 ml of water, which can last for more than 19 hours after standing. This not only provides enough oxygen for the roots of vegetables, but also inhibits the growth of anaerobic bacteria around the roots, making vegetables energetic and healthy. According to scientific research, listening to classical music often helps to improve the gene activity in the brain that controls memory and learning, which scientists call "Mozart effect". "Like humans and animals, plants not only have hearing, touch, taste, smell and vision, but also emotions and their favorite music." Wang Luyao said: "When plants hear slow classical music, they will grow towards music, and when they hear violent rock music, they will grow away from music. Listen to soft and soothing light music and classical music for vegetables, and vegetables will grow happily. " On June 7, President Guo accompanied Dr. Kai-fu Lee and others to visit the plant factory and mentioned: "In the future, we will explore seed genes and develop our own breeding technology."
1 intelligent agricultural database "Promoting agricultural upgrading with science and technology" is the purpose of Yuankang Plant Factory. How to link science and technology with agriculture? "Apply 8K+5G image big data, health big data, intelligent analysis and other technologies to the vegetable planting process to be Foxconn smart agriculture." Yuankang Plant Factory promotes the establishment of agricultural ecological circle with the thinking of real economy and internet, and strives to move towards automation and unmanned. Hundreds of high-definition cameras have been installed in the planting area, and intelligent monitoring is carried out 24 hours a day to gain real-time insight into whether hundreds of vegetables are abnormal. "At present, the introduction of nutrient solution is automatically controlled. The two ends of the planting frame are pipes for introducing nutrient solution. The leaf height of nutrient solution is different in different areas. The 24-hour circulation system of the whole planting frame creates a perfect environment for the healthy growth of vegetables. " Different from the traditional empirical farming method, Yuankang Plant Factory will track and record every vegetable from a seed and establish a large database, including growth schedule, environmental temperature and humidity, EC value, PH value, DO value and other parameters with different attributes. "The amount of data accumulated every day is huge. Obtain the most suitable growth value of each vegetable through big data analysis technology, and then feed these data back to the planting process to achieve a virtuous circle to predict and prevent possible unfavorable factors in vegetable growth. " Wang Luyao introduced that in the future, Foxconn Smart Agriculture will provide technical output and empower small and medium-sized enterprises. Foxconn Smart Agriculture Database will provide key and effective parameters and technical support for intelligent computing. Applying the 8K image big data technology developed by the Group to the vegetable growth process is a highlight of the smart agriculture database. The germination rate of seeds can be automatically detected by observing the seeds in the planting tray with 8K camera. Shoot vegetable leaves, and intelligently calculate the browning area of leaves through deep learning algorithm. "Vegetables have been absorbing nutrients during their growth. Using 8K image big data technology, it can detect whether there are defects at a very young age, so as to remove them as soon as possible and save costs. "
I3Veg Dining Bar 3I+B of Yuankang Plant Factory builds brand advantage. There is an upscale restaurant named "i3Veg" on the second floor of the tourist area. It is said that in the near future, the whole restaurant will introduce smart dining tables and enjoy the power of technology while eating. There are several cups of fresh fruit and vegetable juice on the beige bar, and several plates of nutritious fruit and vegetable salad in the glass refrigerator. "This is the brand i3Veg made by Yuankang Plant Factory, and I fell in love with exquisite vegetables. There is also an i3Veg water bar in the commercial street in Zone D of the park, which is also very popular. " Sweetheart, Vibrant Yogurt, My Fair Lady, Pink Panther The fruit and vegetable drinks and salads on the menu of ……i3Veg restaurant are all prepared by nutritionists according to their nutrition and health, and the ingredients are all fresh vegetables produced by Yuankang Plant Factory. "In the future, there will be a smart dining table and VIP room, where you can listen to music, order food and video conference." The brand concept 3I+B of Yuankang Plant Factory is integration, intelligence and innovation. 3I mainly focuses on technology to make B more competitive. In addition to restaurants and water bars, activities such as parenting education, cooking, nutrition and health lectures will also be held in the popular science area on the third floor of Yuankang Plant Factory. "Children from Zhuo Le Kindergarten come to visit and learn vegetables and health knowledge in a relaxed and pleasant environment. The rich second generation children had a good time and had a very good experience. " The interior of the park is the first step in the promotion of Yuankang Plant Factory. After that, through open visits, joining restaurants and water bars, and linking with platforms such as Meituan, Hungry, and Public Comment, it was promoted through expert forums and technical guidance, and finally the service output of Foxconn Smart Agriculture was realized.
