ioCrops Shares AI Smart Farm Operations Case Study

Published2026.10.07 16:32

Direct Confirmation of Data-Driven Tomato Cultivation Technology and AI Pest Control Robot 'HERMAI' Demonstration

A venue was arranged to share smart farm operational cases combining data and automation technology on-site. Cultivators from Agricultural Cooperative Smart Agriculture Support Centers across the country visited ioCrops' tomato greenhouse in Jincheon, North Chungcheong Province, to directly examine sensor data utilization methods and autonomous pest control robot operation processes.

ioCrops announced on the 7th that approximately 20 cultivators from Agricultural Cooperative Smart Agriculture Support Centers nationwide visited the tomato smart farm located in Jincheon, North Chungcheong Province on the 2nd.

Sharing Data-Driven Cultivation Technology

The tour proceeded with virus and pest control sterilization before entering the greenhouse, followed by introduction of cultivation technology and automation solutions.

Participants toured the actual tomato cultivation greenhouse and confirmed environmental management methods, then examined how data collected by ioCrops' key sensors—△substrate weight sensors △drainage weight sensors △soil moisture sensors—are applied to cultivation.

Yun Dong-ju, a cultivator at ioCrops, shared data-driven tomato cultivation methods and greenhouse operation know-how at the site.

Question-and-answer sessions followed regarding key on-site cultivation matters including irrigation and drainage management, and substrate moisture content.

AI Autonomous Pest Control Robot 'HERMAI' Demonstration

Following the greenhouse tour, a demonstration of the AI-based autonomous pest control robot 'HERMAI' developed by ioCrops was conducted.

Participants directly observed the robot performing pest control work within the greenhouse and examined on-site application cases of smart farm automation technology.

Lee Min-seok, Executive Director at ioCrops, stated, "It was meaningful to be able to share how data and automation technology are utilized in actual cultivation fields," and added, "We will continuously develop smart farm technology that reflects the voices of agricultural fields and provides practical benefits."

Meanwhile, ioCrops was selected as the 1st 'Smart Agriculture Excellence Company' by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs in April this year.
