Air-buffer material made with biomass plastic

Air-buffer material made with biomass plastic

In order to reduce carbon-dioxide emissions and cut back on the use of petroleum resources, an air-buffer material is made with biomass plastic film produced from plant plastic whose raw ingredient consists of molasses, a residual by-product of the process of extracting edible sugar from sugarcane. This product can even be reused and recycled. Machines for producing the buffer material have also been developed by the company. The fact that users can produce just the amount of air-buffer material that they need on-site thanks to a system for renting machines that eliminates the need to make an initial investment is also an advantage.

“ZeRo.agri” ICT hydroponic cultivation system

“ZeRo.agri” ICT hydroponic cultivation system

Their AI irrigation fertilization system ZeRo.agri uses cloud-based AI to judge how much water and fertilizer crops need at any particular time, and the control device automatically provides fluid fertilizer and water. This is all done based on solar radiation levels, soil moisture content, and EC value field data obtained from sensors. Soil moisture level and fertilizer level stabilization reduces stress for the crops. Yield increases, quality improvements, and production stabilization helps lead to profit increases for producers, and saving labor time on irrigation fertilization can expand a producer’s scale. By controlling the system remotely with a PC, tablet, or smartphone, and being able to see cultivation data, users can now analyze cultivation themselves.
