LED combines agriculture to create plant factories to create new business models

With the maturing of LED lighting technology, it has begun to be integrated with agricultural applications. LED plant lighting has become a new niche market and has entered a high growth period. "LED Plant Plant Core Technology Symposium" debuted in Miaoli yesterday (14th), addressing the crisis faced by Taiwan's agriculture, the advent of plant plants, the impact of light sources on plants, the advantages of LED light sources in plant factories, and LED plant factories. The vision and other aspects of the discussion were discussed to stimulate an innovative business model combining agriculture, LED, and tourism.

The LED plant factory combines the optoelectronics industry with traditional agriculture in Taiwan, and Taiwan factories such as Yiguang (2393), Fuyuan (3061) and Jingdian (2448) have all entered the field of plant lighting, but Taiwan's domestic market for plant lighting Therefore, it is recommended that high-value agricultural products can be developed to promote the global competitiveness of Taiwan plants in the plant lighting industry. PIDI Industry Analysis Teacher Huairen pointed out that plant factories not only have hardware equipment, but also inject technology into the humanities. At the level of life, we can move people's hearts and keep them running forever.

Fan Huairen pointed out that plant plants are not ordinary traditional farmland, but use artificial control of lighting, temperature, and humidity to cultivate crops. Most of them choose high-value crops such as lettuce, basil, and peppermint, but because the environmental variables are manually controlled, the advantage is that Reduce water loss, but artificial lighting and air conditioning will consume a lot of electricity, so LED lighting will be developed to save energy.

In addition to discussing the combination of agriculture and LED industry, the meeting also invited the case of a new business model shared by Ji Wenji, general manager of Yawen Herb Plant. The Yawen Herb Plant is located in Miaoli and is developing plants for the cultivation of herbs, plant varieties, and plant promotion. It is a functional park with tourism, education, and leisure facilities. It also has the first open-closed LED plant in the country to be used as a R&D facility to produce high-nutrient plants for cosmetics, beauty and health foods. .
