1. technical background: intelligent upgrading demand of grain whole industry chain management
With the large-scale and intensive development of the grain industry, the traditional warehouse management model is facing pain points such as low efficiency, high loss and difficult traceability. As a comprehensive enterprise integrating planting, purchasing, processing, warehousing and sales, Yaduo Grain Management Co., Ltd. is based on high-quality grain source producing areas, and through the introduction of intelligent storage technology, it has constructed a digital management system covering the whole life cycle of grain, so as to realize precise control from field to table.
2. core technology layout: four modules to build intelligent storage system
1. Intelligent environmental monitoring system
Deploy temperature and humidity sensors, gas concentration monitors and other equipment in the storage link to collect real-time environmental data inside the grain pile. For example, in wheat storage, the system can automatically detect the concentration of phosphine and trigger an alarm when the concentration is lower than 0.2ppm to ensure the fumigation effect. Data is wirelessly transmitted to the cloud via LoRa with an error rate of ≤ 0.5 and a response time of <3 seconds.
2. Automated storage equipment
Using movable shelf system, shelf height adjustable range of 2-6 meters, single load up to 2 tons, adapt to the storage needs of different food varieties. Cooperate with AGV handling robot to realize the automatic operation of grain entering and leaving the warehouse. The single handling efficiency is increased by 40% and the labor cost is reduced by 35%.
3. Block chain traceability platform
Based on the Hyperledger Fabric framework, a food traceability system is developed to record the whole process data from the planting base, the acquisition site to the processing workshop. Each batch of grain is bound with a unique RFID tag, and consumers can scan the two-dimensional code on the package to view the origin, test report and other information. The system has been certified by the State Grain and Material Reserve Bureau, with a data immutability rate of 100 per cent.
4. AI predictive maintenance
Vibration sensors and current monitoring modules are deployed in the processing process to analyze equipment operating data through ML algorithms. For example, for rice mill bearings, the system can predict the risk of failure 72 hours in advance with an accuracy of 92%, increasing the overall equipment efficiency (OEE) to 88%.
3. Technology Landing Case: Intelligent Transformation of a Provincial Grain Reserve Depot
Project Background
The original storage facilities of a provincial grain reserve depot are old, with an annual loss rate of 3.2 per cent, and rely on manual inspection, which is inefficient in management. After undertaking the renovation project, Yaduo Grain Management Co., Ltd. deployed intelligent environmental monitoring, automated shelves and blockchain traceability systems.
Implementation results
After the renovation, the grain depot loss rate dropped to 1.1, saving about 1.2 million yuan per year. The efficiency of incoming and outgoing storage increased by 60%, and the maximum daily processing capacity increased from 800 tons to 1280 tons. The response time of traceability inquiry was shortened from 5 minutes to 0.3 seconds, and customer satisfaction was increased by 25%.
Summary of 4. technical advantages
1. full link coverage: From planting to sales, realize data penetration and business collaboration;
2. Precise control: The environmental monitoring accuracy reaches 0.1 ℃, and the equipment failure prediction accuracy exceeds 90%;
3. Reduce costs and increase efficiency: 22% reduction in overall costs and 45% improvement in operational efficiency;
4. Compliance guaranteeIn line with national standards such as GB/T 29890-2013 Technical Specification for Grain and Oil Storage.
5. Future Outlook
Yaduo Grain Management Co., Ltd. will continue to deepen the application of intelligent technology, plan to complete the digital upgrade of 12 storage bases nationwide by the end of 2026, and explore the integrated application of 5G industrial Internet in grain processing, so as to provide replicable intelligent solutions for the industry.
