YS Yang explanied that the term “plant factory” belongs to industry instead of agriculture. Advantech’s intelligent agricultural solutions have gotten all the need to establish plant factory. “Our company specializes in the farm management innovation with technology that realizes all the possibilities of intelligent monitoring and control.” In other words, plant factory is an application of the Internet of Things (IoT).

“When IoT technology is successfully applied to farm management, smart agrculture is an inevitable trend, accurately monitoring information from agriculture environmental control to the crop growth process to achieve high yield good quality harvests.” said YS Yang.

However, the soil, medium, and water monitoring have been precisely put into practice. Only the microbiological monitoring is not that mature enough for the time being. “ Microbiological and biology monitoring are the next big thing of the plant factory.”

Besides, YS Yang said that the intelligent agricultural solutions of the company combines hardware and the web-based software that can be easily used.
