Field helper in the new era of smart agriculture

  In order to implement MOA delivery, TBRS solves important issues faced by the domestic industry, such as the aging of the agricultural population, resulting in a lack of work; and the need to reduce carbon emissions in response to climate change. TBRS is aimed at the two important domestic beverage crops-tea and coffee industries. In December 2022, TBRS will develop "Tea Garden Smart Weeding Robot" and "Coffee Smart Fertilizer" to move towards the goal of labor-saving cultivation and carbon emission reduction. The weeding operation of tea garden management accounts for about 30% of the tea garden management cost. The tea garden smart weeding robot developed by TBRS is an electric agricultural machine. Combined with the Real Time Kinematic (RTK) unmanned vehicle and obstacle avoidance weeding unit, it can save manpower and reduce greenhouse gas production. In addition, the use of fertilizers accounts for nearly 90% of the greenhouse gas emissions of agricultural soils. Coffee Smart Fertilizer is to adjust the fertilization behavior of farmers. According to the fertilizers required by coffee trees in different growth stages throughout the year, the fertilizers are accurately proportioned, and rational fertilization is implemented to improve fertilizer utilization and reduce emissions.
