Introduction: Technology empowers the food industry and guards the safety of the tongue.
In the critical period of the transformation and upgrading of the grain industry, Yaduo Grain Management Co., Ltd. has built a whole-process quality control system from planting to sales by virtue of the technical layout of the whole industry chain. Based on high-quality grain source production areas, the company has achieved a safe, stable and efficient supply of grain products through three core technology modules: digital planting monitoring, intelligent storage management and precision processing technology. This paper will analyze its technical practice and industry demonstration value in depth.
1. Technology Architecture: Digital Collaborative System of the Whole Industry Chain
The company's technical system covers five core links:
1. Planting end: Deploy soil moisture monitoring sensors and meteorological early warning systems, collect 12 environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity and light in real time, and generate planting suggestions in combination with AI algorithms. In the pilot project in the northeast production area, the yield of corn per mu was increased by 8.2 and the use of pesticides was reduced by 15% through variable fertilization technology.
2. acquisition endUsing near-infrared spectroscopy rapid detection equipment, 8 quality indicators such as protein, moisture, and impurities were detected within 30 seconds, and the detection accuracy rate was 98.7. The supporting development of the block chain traceability system, to achieve each batch of grain from the field to the warehouse of the whole process data chain.
3. Storage endThe application of intelligent ventilation control system and nitrogen gas storage technology has reduced the grain storage loss rate from the industry average of 3% to 0.8. In the Jiangsu storage base, the intelligent grain monitoring system can sense the temperature change of the grain pile in real time and automatically start the ventilation equipment to ensure the safety of grain storage.
4. Machining end: The intelligent color sorter of Swiss Buhler Group is introduced. Through high-definition camera and AI image recognition technology, unqualified seeds such as moldy grains and insect etched grains are accurately eliminated, with a selection accuracy of 0.1mm. The supporting automatic packaging line can achieve the packaging capacity of 3000 bags per hour, and the product qualification rate is increased to 99.6.
5. Sales end: Develop a customer profile analysis system, integrate order data, logistics information, market feedback and other dimensions, and customize differentiated product solutions for customers in different regions. In the Yangtze River Delta market pilot, through dynamic adjustment of distribution frequency, the customer order satisfaction rate increased from 92% to 98.5.
2. Technology Breakthrough: Three Core Innovation Practices
Case 1: Low-oxygen grain storage technology to overcome industry problems
In view of the problem that traditional storage methods are easy to breed pests, the company's research and development team cooperated with Jiangnan University to develop low-oxygen grain storage technology. By injecting high-purity nitrogen into the grain pile, the oxygen concentration is reduced to less than 2%, which effectively inhibits the reproduction of pests. In a comparative experiment at a storage base in Henan, the incidence of pests in granaries using this technology was reduced from 12 per cent to 0.3 per cent, and the rate of grain aging was slowed by 40 per cent. The technology has applied for 3 invention patents and has been promoted and applied in 12 storage centers across the country.
Case 2:AI color sorter to achieve machining accuracy jump
In the wheat processing link, the company introduced the AI color sorter equipped with deep learning algorithm, can identify 16 types of impurities, the efficiency of the selection is 3 times higher than the traditional equipment. The measured data in Shandong flour processing plant showed that the ash content of wheat flour after AI color selection decreased from 0.75 per cent to 0.62 per cent, the gluten quality index increased by 5 units, and the product reached the national standard for high-quality wheat flour. This technology reduces the loss rate of the processing link from 2.5 per cent to 0.9 per cent, saving more than 2 million yuan in raw material costs per year.
Case 3: Blockchain Traceability System Builds Trust Bridge
In order to solve the problem of information asymmetry in the grain circulation link, the company independently developed a blockchain traceability platform, which linked the data of 23 links such as planting, acquisition, processing, and testing. By scanning the product QR code, consumers can view the whole process information of grain from field to table, including pesticide use records, storage environment data, quality inspection reports, etc. In the traceability system evaluation organized by the State Grain Administration in 2025, the platform ranked among the top three in the industry with a score of 96.3.
3. technical standards: leading the development of industry standardization
The company led the development of three enterprise technical standards, of which the "intelligent granary construction specification" was included in the local standards of Henan Province:
1. Storage environment control standard: The granary temperature fluctuation range is ≤ 1 ℃, the relative humidity is controlled at 55%-65%, the oxygen concentration is ≤ 5%, and the nitrogen purity is ≥ 99.5.
2. Grading standard of machining accuracyThe processing accuracy of wheat flour is divided into three grades: special first-class, special second-class and standard powder, and the core indicators such as ash content and gluten quality index of each grade are defined.
3. Traceability Information Collection Standard: 12 types of data such as soil test report, fertilization record and pesticide use ledger are required to be collected in the planting process; 8 types of information such as working parameters of color sorter and operation log of packaging line are recorded in the processing process.
Conclusion: Technology builds the foundation to protect the lifeline of food security.
Yaduo Grain Management Co., Ltd. has constructed a closed loop of quality control from field to table through the technical layout of the whole industrial chain. Its technical practice not only improves the operational efficiency of enterprises, but also provides a replicable digital transformation model for the industry. In the future, the company will continue to deepen the application of Internet of things, big data, artificial intelligence and other technologies, promote the upgrading of grain industry to intelligent and green direction, and contribute technical strength to ensure national food security.
