Abstract

This paper presents a design for multi-layer vertical farming rack to be used as an integrated component in fully automated farming of ginger plants with minimum interactions of humans, in line with Industrial revolution 4.0. The vertical rack is designed in parallel so an Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) can travel along in the middle for data collecting, observation and retrieving purposes. The whole rack system can hold 96 plants, consists of two 19 m rows. Each row has two stacks of plants. 64 units of plants will receive LED treatment, where else the balance 32 unit of plants will not have LED installed for experiment purposes. Rack will be equipped with protrusions to assist robot with its position sensor. Also, each plant containment will be equipped with required LED lights and watering system, complete with waste water drainage path. AGV was tested along the racks to test its stability and reachability of the arm in retrieving plants tray. This test was carried out using dummy load to test the overall strength, vibration and accuracy of the AGV arm. All tests passed satisfactory.

工业革命4.0垂直农业的货架和灌溉系统的开发

本文提出了一种基于工业革命4.0的多层垂直养殖架的设计方案，该方案可作为集成组件用于生姜植物的全自动化养殖，减少人工交互。垂直机架平行设计，使自动导引车(AGV)可以沿着中间行驶，进行数据收集、观察和检索。整个机架系统可容纳96株植物，由两排19米的植物组成。每行有两堆植物。64个单位的植物将接受LED治疗，其余32个单位的植物将不安装LED作为实验目的。机架将配备凸出物，以辅助机器人的位置传感器。此外，每个工厂的安全壳将配备所需的LED灯和浇水系统，并配有废水排放路径。AGV在机架上进行了试验，测试了AGV臂在植物托盘回收中的稳定性和可达性。该试验采用虚拟负载进行，测试AGV臂的整体强度、振动和精度。所有测试都令人满意地通过了。
