Plant plant key technologies and system integration or boost LED plant lighting technology to new heights

On January 8, the National Science and Technology Awards Conference was held in Beijing. Among them, the projects completed by the teams such as Yang Qichang and Wei Lingling have won the second prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award for the “Key Technology and System Integration of High-efficiency and Low-energy LED Smart Plant Plants”.

Under the brilliance of plant lighting, the key technology and system integration of high-efficiency and low-energy LED intelligent plant factories won the second prize of national scientific and technological progress, or boosted China's LED plant lighting technology to a new height.

At present, China's plant and lighting factories are developing very fast. Compared with Japan, China’s Taipei, the United States, and plants and factories in the Netherlands that have long-standing research and production practices, China, as a rising star, is truly related to the industry. As for the research, and in terms of the quality and extent of plant growth, China far exceeds other countries.

Although the development of plant factories at this stage is still not satisfactory, most plant factories in Japan are in a loss state. At the end of December 2016, the “Yokosuka Toshiba Cleanroom Farm” in Kanagawa Prefecture, which had been in operation for more than two years, quietly reached the end. In a statement issued by Toshiba, Toshiba stated that “the plant plant will be closed and production will stop at the same time. Sell ​​lettuce and other vegetables."

In spite of this, Japanese technology companies are still actively promoting overseas exports of plant factories. Mainland China is one of the major target markets. With the joint efforts of many companies, the plant plant in 2017 can be said to have breakthrough development. Many giant giants such as Jinshajiang, JD.com, Softbank, etc., and vegetables produced by Panasonic, etc. have also been sold in supermarkets. The vegetables of the Sanke Plant Factory of the Zhongke Branch have been on the Bric State Banquet, and even plant cultivation systems have followed workers. Fly into space and board a scientific expedition ship.

Plant plant fires are getting more and more prosperous, and are rapidly entering the commercial R&D and application level, and the industrial outlook is attractive. The seriousness of food safety issues, the reduction of water resources and land desertification, soil pollution, the increase in urban population, and the decrease in the application cost of LED technology have even more demonstrated the commercial value of plant factories. Therefore, it has become a new blue ocean for the development of LED lighting industry. .

To this end, Gaogong LED has taken stock of new developments in the field of plant plants and plant lighting in 2017. From these trends, we may be able to look into the development prospects and trajectories of plant lighting.
