Food production is being threatened due to the impact of global warming on agricultural products and a decline in the working population due to the declining birthrate and aging population, and there is a need for sustainable food production worldwide. FAMS was established as a “company creating mechatronics for food and agriculture” by bringing together core technologies such as motion control technology, ICT technology, and robot control technology under the i³-Mechatronics solution concept advocated by Yaskawa Electric. Our mission is to contribute to local communities in order to realize a “safe food future.”

* ◆Sustainable “vegetable cultivation” using core technology * Agrine, the industry’s first fully automated plant factory system, automates the traditional manual cultivation process from seeding to harvesting. This system uses ICT technology to monitor growth and control the optimal environment for growth, making it possible to consistently produce high-quality vegetables. The features of “Agrine” are “unmanned cultivation work”, “stable production all year round”, “safe and reliable vegetables without pesticides”, and “space-saving installation”, which can solve the problem of instability and labor shortage in agricultural production. We believe this can be improved. Our dream is to provide smart agriculture that leverages our core technologies and protect a future where we can continue to eat safe and secure vegetables.

Masu. In addition to lettuce, it is possible to grow a variety of varieties such as komatsuna, mizuna, kale, and basil, making “Agrine” a dream come true for growers. The unique cultivation rail method using cultivation frames and spacers can be used to grow vegetables in a small amount of water, making it possible to grow vegetables in space in the near future, even in Africa and the Middle East, where there is insufficient water! ? I am expanding my dreams and hopes.
“April Dream” is a PR event where companies send out their dreams that they would like to achieve in the future on April 1st.
