As smart farming evolves beyond the adoption of technology by individual farms into a regional management system, IOCROPS' control center operation solution is emerging as a new standard for local government smart agriculture.

IO CropS, a smart agriculture solution company, announced on the 17th that it is leading changes in agricultural administration through its solution for operating local government control centers.

With the expansion of smart farms marking a new turning point in the utilization of agricultural data, IO Crops has been establishing a regional smart agriculture management system by supplying control center operation solutions to the Chungbuk Agricultural Research & Extension Services and the Hongseong County Agricultural Technology Center.

This solution is designed to automatically collect various data generated by farms within the jurisdiction and manage it in an integrated manner on a single platform.

Through this, local governments can resolve information fragmentation at the individual farm level and monitor the status of agriculture across the entire region in real time.

Although agricultural technology centers nationwide manage an average of several hundred farm households, the reality is that many of them are not familiar with utilizing ICT equipment and data.

IOCROPS' control center operation solution takes these on-site limitations into account and provides intuitive dashboards and standardized reporting functions.

You can check crop growth and environmental changes at a glance through a map-based screen, and make data-driven decisions through monthly reports.Supports affection.

Pest and disease monitoring and control guidance, as well as production volume and regional market price forecasting functions, are also key elements of the control center.

Through this, local governments can move away from reactive administration, identify risk factors in advance, and proactively provide necessary information to farms.

Local governments currently operating control centers report that on-site response speed and administrative efficiency have improved.

IO CropS has been applying various smart farming technologies to the field, including sensor-based remote monitoring, workforce management solutions, unmanned pest control machines, and agricultural AI robots.

The technical infrastructure built by distributing solutions to over 600 cumulative farms serves as the foundation for the control center operation solution.

The structure allows local governments to operate a control center by immediately linking data from farms using existing smart farm sensors once they adopt the solution.

Jo Jin-hyung, CEO of IO CropS, stated, “Control centers can become a core infrastructure for local government smart agriculture policies,” adding, “By connecting field data with administration, we will resolve bottlenecks in the expansion of smart agriculture and develop a model that can be scaled nationwide.”
