LED large enterprise layout plant lighting in the first half of 2017

At the end of December last year, Yokosuka Toshiba Clean Room Farm, which was operated for more than two years in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, came to an end. In a statement issued last October, Toshiba said that the closure of the plant factory will also stop the production and sale of vegetables such as lettuce. In the past two years, the once-popular plant factory model suffered major setbacks in Japan. In addition to the end of December last year, the Yokosuka Toshiba Clean Room Farm in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, has been quietly coming to an end. In a statement issued last October, Toshiba said that the closure of the plant factory will also stop the production and sale of vegetables such as lettuce. In the past two years, the once-popular plant factory model suffered major setbacks in Japan. In addition to large companies such as Toshiba withdrawing from this field, about 70% of the plant factories in Japan are actually in a state of loss or bleak operation. As an important part of the plant factory system, plant lighting has been plagued by the horrific effects of plant factories. However, due to the fierce competition in LED general lighting, more and more companies are investing in the non-red sea of ​​plant lighting. The current situation of the bleak management of plant factories is in stark contrast with the investment of many LED companies in plant lighting, which once made people feel confused about plant lighting. Today, Xiaobian is dedicated to the latest developments in plant lighting and plant factories in the first half of 2017, for the reference of the industry! Jinshajiang and AeroFarms laid out the modern agricultural market in China at the beginning of the new year, Jinshajiang Capital entered the modern agriculture The industry, together with the international top plant factory brand AeroFarms, laid out the Chinese market and led the introduction of the world's leading plant factory technology to expand production in China, including Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan. The first batch of factories are planned to be carried out in Beijing, Shenzhen and Hangzhou. Construct a batch of full-scale factories to create the highest standards for vegetable food safety. AeroFarms is a leading plant industry leader in the United States, founded in 2004. In New Jersey, it is the first company to sell grown vegetables to the adjacent Ithaca agricultural products market, and currently has five plant factories. In 2016, AeroFarms decided to build the world's largest vertical farm in Newark. As mentioned above, close to 70,000 square feet of facilities, it can produce 2 million pounds of vegetables and spices per year, compared to growing in ordinary fields. The crop will save 95% of the water. Jinshajiang Capital is optimistic about the future development of domestic modern agriculture. In 2013, it invested in the highly potential Aeroeroero Farms arms company in the United States, and is still the company's single major shareholder. According to the reporter, Jinshajiang Capital has obtained the exclusive technical authorization of AeroFarms Greater China, introduced the world's leading plant factory technology, combined with the industrial resources accumulated by the Jinsha River in China, and jointly developed China's modern agriculture. It is expected that the first plant will build 10 first-scale full-scale plant factories in Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Hangzhou to meet the needs of future consumers for high-quality and safe green vegetables, and to seize the mainstream of high-end consumption of future agricultural products. . Panasonic plant factory vegetables listed in Suzhou supermarket According to reliable news, Panasonic Panasonic brand vegetables are produced in Suzhou Matsushita factory, has been listed in Suzhou supermarket. As a noble vegetable, this sale can be said to be a sales test of the plant factory vegetables to the public. According to a report in December 2016, the factory produces a series of high-quality vegetables such as elegant, green butterfly and purple leaf, which can reach 30 tons per month. They and 6 companies including urban vegetable garden (Wuyishan) ecological agriculture and Quanzhou luhe fruit and vegetable trade. A sales cooperation was reached, and 22 tons of vegetables were sold monthly. In January 2017, four kinds of lettuce vegetables were also listed in batches. At present, there are more than 200 sales counters in supermarkets such as Carrefour, Yonghui and Yuanchu in Xiamen, Fuzhou and Quanzhou, all of which can buy vegetables exported from here. In terms of price, the main target is the high-end market. A bag of two lettuces weighs about 150 grams. Depending on the variety, the price ranges from 9.8 yuan to 11.8 yuan. Fujitsu plant factory rushed into northern Europe and said it will return within four years. At the end of last year, Fujitsu announced a joint venture with Finnish agricultural production company Robbes Little Garden, which was funded by Fujitsu and its subsidiary Fujitsu Kyushu Island System. Fujitsu said that in the future, it will build a plant factory about 100 kilometers away from Helsinki, the capital of Finland, with an investment of about 300 million yuan. It is expected to produce lettuce and Babi lettuce from the first half of 2017, with an annual production capacity of 240 tons. The joint venture will be equipped with the latest plant plant technology, including SaaS services for agricultural production management (a smart agricultural service solution based on Akisai, Akisai is a food and agricultural cloud service launched by Fujitsu), multi-layer cultivation racks and complete labor Light LED lighting. Fujitsu also plans to package the expertise and cloud services brought by this business and deploy it throughout the EU. Fujitsu pointed out that due to the short winter sunshine time in northern Europe, LED lighting can maintain a fixed vegetable output. In addition, plant production costs are estimated to be reduced by 20% compared to solar lighting in the same area. Starting from the plant start-up time, early costs can be recovered within four years. Fujitsu is a company that entered the plant factory earlier. In 2012, Fujitsu began running a cloud-based IT service that supported all aspects of outdoor agriculture and greenhouse agriculture management, and then extended the service to plant factories. In 2013, Fujitsu used government subsidies to partially modify its semiconductor factory in Fukushima Prefecture to produce low-potassium vegetables for people with special dietary needs. The cultivation module of Zhongke Bio-plant Factory was sold to the United States. Recently, 1,000 sets of plant factory cultivation module equipment of Fujian Province Zhongke Biotechnology Co., Ltd. was sent from Xiamen to the United States. This is the first domestic export of plants. Factory cultivation module equipment, which will be used to open a plant factory. The plant cultivation module equipment is used to control the growth environment of plants, such as the proportion of light and nutrient solution. Here, the light formula is not a new term. As the name implies, it can be configured with different light according to the different needs of different plants. These light replaces the sunlight for photosynthesis of plants, and the nutrient solution replaces the soil. The beauty of the nutrient solution is that it can be fed to the right formula according to the needs of the human body, so that the vegetables produced by the plant factory become functional vegetables. The reporter learned from Zhongke Biological Company that after the first batch of equipment was exported to the United States, some countries such as Europe and the Middle East also showed strong interest in plant factories. More in-depth cooperation is currently under negotiation. In China, following the Hutou industrialization base, the industrialization layout of plant factories in first-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Wuhan has been put on the agenda, and the total investment is expected to reach 7 billion yuan.
