Last update date April 1, 2024

List of Adopted Proposals

We examined "I ・ TOP Yokohama Lab" Smart Agriculture in Urban Areas "" which we recruited from January 27, 2023, and adopted the following six proposals.

List of proposals (6 proposals in total) ※In alphabetical order
	Corporate Name	[Business Name] Demonstrations, expected effects, and value provided
１	Aoba Denshi Co., Ltd.	[VR × IoT × AMR Future Farm] By combining photo images using AMR (independent driving robot) and spectroscopy cameras and VR (virtual reality) that enables remote monitoring, measurement of fruit sugar content, detecting pests, and repellation, and reduce the burden on farmland.
２	Sobal Corporation	[Agricultural support using AI/IoT] By examining the relationship between sensing data such as soil and atmosphere acquired by the IoT system installed on farmland and cultivation conditions (harvest amount, disease occurrence, cultivation measures, etc.) and conducting correlation analysis, we aim to establish a method by accumulating cultivation measures that are effective for stabilizing yield and quality improvement.
３	East Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation	[Utilization of the new Wi-Fi standard "IEEE 802.11ah (Wi-Fi HaLowTM)"] For the purpose of monitoring the field, cameras using the new Wi-Fi standard "IEEE 802.11ah" (a communication method that reduces power consumption and realizes long-distance communication) covering a wide range of areas such as agricultural land, will be installed at several locations in the field to verify whether video transmission is possible.
４	Plant Life Systems Co., Ltd.	Plant development that contributes to carbon neutrality When rapeseed cultivation on farmland, experiments will be conducted on the increase in yield, improve functionality, the possibility of cultivation that does not depend on seasonal characteristics, and CO2 absorption by utilizing the light of the specific wavelength band.
５	Maxell Frontier Co., Ltd.	[Notice of measures against birds and beasts, illegal dumping and theft measures by IoT] Using the "Matagi Musume LTE-M Version", the aim is to reduce the burden on patrols by capturing traps installed by farmers and monitoring the theft of crops.
６	MACNICA, Inc.	[Smart Agriculture Platform] Provides cutting-edge sensors and cultivation support technologies to farmers who produce strawberries, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc. in greenhouses. Provide remote consultants and environmental control services utilizing the latest farming know-how to provide remote consultants and environmental control services utilizing the latest farming know-how to provide support such as DX of agriculture, operational efficiency, increase yield, quality improvement, labor management, etc.
