Plant factories are internationally recognized as the highest-end development stage of facility agriculture. At present, only a few developed countries such as Japan, the United States, and the Netherlands have mastered this technology. Breakthroughs in plant factory technology will solve many bottlenecks faced by human development, and can even achieve normal production in non-arable land such as deserts, Gobi, islands, and water surfaces, as well as in urban skyscrapers. Utilizing inexhaustible solar energy and various other clean energy sources, plus certain seeds, water sources and mineral nutrients, we can continuously produce the agricultural products needed by human beings. Therefore, it is considered to be an important way to solve food security, population, resources, and environmental problems in the 21st century. It is also an important means to achieve food self-sufficiency in future aerospace engineering, moon and other planetary exploration processes.
Beijing Tongzhou Plant is a major scientific and technological key demonstration project of the 11th Five-Year Plan of the Beijing Municipal Science and Technology Commission. Plant factories use the most advanced international technologies, instruments and equipment in the field of planting, such as precision seedling production lines, tissue culture technology, nutrient solution recycling technology, plant physiological and ecological monitoring and environmental regulation technology, and photovoltaic power generation application information management technology. Lead facility agricultural technology to high-end development.
As the main supporting technology for plant factories, agricultural production robots greatly expand the connotation of plant factories. The company's robot production system will be fully demonstrated at the Tongzhou Plant.
