Abstract

Abstract:

In order to solve problems such as the lack of real-time data in agricultural machinery management, the difficulty in real-time machine operation supervision and the asymmetry of machine service information, an intelligent remote management platform was developed in this research. Firstly, five design principles of a specialized remote agricultural machinery management system: specialization, standardization, cloud platform, modularity and openness were proposed. Based on these principles, a customizable general-purpose intelligent remote management system for agricultural machinery based on intelligent sensing technology, Internet of Things technology, positioning technology, remote sensing technology and geographic information system was designed. Practical modules, including agricultural machinery information-based and location-based services using WebGIS, real-time monitoring and management of machinery operation, basic information management of farmland, basic information management of crops in the field, dispatching management of machinery, subsidy management of machinery, order management of machinery operation were designed and implemented in the platform for users of government agencies, agricultural machinery corporations, machine operators, and farmers. Besides, some key technologies of the platform under the current technical background, including the calculation method of the working area with low-precision GNSS positioning receivers, the analysis of anomality data during the processing of GNSS positioning data, the machine scheduling algorithm development, the integration of sensors were focused， analyzed and implementd. The idea of building the machinery management platform with each individual field as the building block was developed. It can be predicted that the agricultural machinery operation management platform would gradually change from simple operation management to field-level comprehensive management. The research and development of this platform can not only solve current machinery management problems, but also provide basic functions for development of similar machinery management platforms.

Key words: sensing technology, data fusion, management platform, farm machinery, IoT, GNSS
