AGRIST is a startup company that uses technology to solve agricultural issues and realize sustainable agriculture that will continue for 100 years.
We are working with local governments and companies to develop smart agriculture that utilizes automatic harvesting robots equipped with AI throughout the country.
In recent years, as the aging of agricultural workers and the lack of successors have become more serious, improvements in agricultural productivity and sustainability are required. AGRIST aims to solve these issues by utilizing AI and robot technology.
AGRIST is launching an AI service called AGRIST that utilizes Microsoft’s Copilot to analyze data collected from farms on Azure and predict crop yields.
We have developed “Ai”. By using “AGRIST Ai”, it becomes easier to predict yields, and it is possible to expect a profit increase of more than 28.6% per yield.
As an example of the use of technology in agriculture, the company’s farm “AGRIST” in Miyazaki Prefecture
FARM”, a farmer with one year of farming experience was able to increase the yield by 1.5 times by utilizing IoT.
AGRIST will further accelerate agricultural DX by developing new technologies.
* the purpose*
By introducing AGRIST Ai, we aim to:
– * Highly accurate yield prediction: * By analyzing farm data with AI, we can achieve more accurate yield prediction and support farmer management.
– * Optimal cultivation management: * Improve productivity by setting the optimal amount of fertilizer and watering based on yield prediction
– * Eliminating labor shortages: * Automated data collection and analysis reduces the workload of farmers
* Future outlook *
AGRIST is AGRIST
We plan to further develop AI and expand its functionality to support a wide variety of crops, including management robots, environmental control tools, and farming management systems. We will also strengthen collaboration with agricultural harvesting robots to realize more profitable agriculture. Additionally, AGRIST
By providing Ai to other farmers, we will contribute to improving the productivity of Japanese agriculture as a whole.
*About Higashikushira Farm*
In August 2023, we built our second company farm in
Higashikushira-cho, Kagoshima Prefecture, which is a major producer of green peppers. This is a 30a green pepper cultivation house that uses hydroponic cultivation using coconut shell medium. Sustagram As a farm showroom, we accept visitors from all over the country.
*Engineer comment*
“AGRIST
When developing Ai, it was a huge advantage to be able to utilize Microsoft’s powerful Azure platform and Copilot’s AI capabilities. In particular, the ability to analyze large-scale agricultural data at high speed and with high precision has greatly contributed to improving the accuracy of yield prediction. Based on the results obtained from this demonstration experiment in Kagoshima Prefecture, AGRIST
We will deploy Ai to farmers across the country and accelerate the DX transformation of Japanese agriculture. ”
