Thailand unveils AI-, IoT-based smart agriculture platform – http://en.vietnamplus.vn/

It will enable farmers to utilise digital technology to improve their capabilities and promote sustainability in agriculture production, contributing to reducing costs and boosting the Thai agricultural sector’s competitiveness at the global level.
Bangkok (VNA) – Thailand has launched a new smart farming platform named “HandySense B-Farm” which harnesses the power of smart sensors, artificial intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT) to help farmers control and manage their farms efficiently.
The platform was developed by the National Electronics and Computer Technology Centre (NECTEC) as part of the digital agriculture promotion policy of the National Science and Technology Development Agency.
It will enable farmers to utilise digital technology to improve their capabilities and promote sustainability in agriculture production, contributing to reducing costs and boosting the Thai agricultural sector’s competitiveness at the global level.
NECTEC Deputy Director Panita Pongpaibool said that the platform reflects the goals of NECTEC and all partner organisations in helping Thai farmers navigate into the digital era at their fullest potential.
The platform also makes use of NECTEC’s expertise in other fields including embedded system, machine vision, photonic and phonotype, she said.
These not only help improve production efficiency but also enhance accuracy, reduce waste, and elevate the quality of life for farmers, enabling them to earn higher incomes from quality produce, especially high value crops and medicinal plant, Panita went on./.
