A sensor system that collects essential data on soil, air, and sunlight for plants, records it on the web through a gateway, and visualizes it through an app.
Agri Palette is a sensor system that collects essential data for plants, including soil (soil moisture, soil temperature, soil EC, soil pH), air (temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide concentration), and sunlight exposure, and records this data on the web (database) through a gateway (receiver), allowing for visualization via an app. ■Development Background The use of sensors for the "visualization" of agriculture is regarded as fundamental to smart farming; however, many sensors cost hundreds of thousands of yen, leading to limited adoption outside of advanced horticulture facilities. Since early 2018, Momo Co., Ltd. has been delivering agricultural IoT systems for commercial use to multiple agricultural corporations and major coffee chain companies. (These systems are being utilized not only in closed horticulture but also in open-field cultivation.) Since August 2018, with the support of the JA Zen-Noh Group, we have repeatedly conducted tests to improve sensor accuracy, developed calibration logic, and researched and gathered feedback to reduce costs. We have successfully incorporated all previous achievements into the specifications of Agri Palette and have managed to lower the price, leading to its release through Makuake.

basic information
You can immediately collect and utilize data from eight items that form the foundation of smart agriculture. It transmits data over a distance of 600 meters via direct communication (an additional 600 meters can be achieved with a relay device. Even with obstacles like tomatoes, you can hop over them with a relay device). The receiver uploads the data to the server via Wi-Fi. The collected data is displayed on a website and can be used for cultivation and agricultural work. Essential data for achieving the desired quality and yield can be collected at a low cost. (*Please contact us if you need a relay device after installation. *Data cannot be viewed with sensors alone; at least one gateway is required.) [How to Use] Set up the Wi-Fi for the gateway (the setup is simple), and once you turn on the sensor power, the data will be sent to the cloud immediately. If there is no Wi-Fi router near the field, using a pocket Wi-Fi is recommended. You can view the data by logging into a dedicated site. There is also a notification function that alerts you based on set thresholds, and you can export data to Excel, making it easy to keep records and utilize the information. Since it is wireless, no special electrical work is required. Even those without knowledge of sensors, computers, or IoT can use it with confidence.

Applications/Examples of results
Dear Mr. Tashiro of JA Group Agventure Lab, "The use of sensors for the 'visualization' of agriculture is regarded as fundamental to smart agriculture. However, many sensors cost over several hundred thousand yen, and their adoption has not progressed outside of some advanced facility horticulture. The agricultural sensors from Momo are entry-level models that can be introduced even by small to medium-sized greenhouse horticulture farmers who have previously been unable to adopt sensors. We believe that their widespread use in many fields, along with the public API, will encourage the development of applications by various companies, thus promising a data-driven future for smart agriculture." By adopting a smartphone method that allows system development companies other than Momo Co., Ltd. to deploy their own services using the same sensor data, various applications can be utilized. Three companies, including IoTBase, have already expressed their intention to enter the market. Companies considering entering the agricultural sector can store data from this product on their own servers and display and utilize it on websites and mobile applications, thereby becoming providers of agricultural IoT services (the services provided will pertain to the processing of data belonging to the purchaser. The use of data belonging to parties other than the purchaser will be provided upon separate discussion).
