本開発により、小型電動農機に取り付けられたGPSユニットとmonoZeroハードウェアが接続されます。monoZeroは、NB-IoTやCAT-M1などのセルラーLPWAを使用して、インターネットを使用しないNon-IP Data Delivery (NIDD) 及び、LwM2M over IPを介してGPSを含む農機の情報をクラウドに送信します。送信された情報はmonoZクラウド（Centra-IoT）のシンプルなダッシュボード上に位置情報などを表示します。
「エンド to エンドの IoT サービスを提供するメリテックのようなシステムインテグレーターと協力することで、プロセスが簡素化されコア業務に集中できるようになります。 IoT の実装により、データセットを改善できるため、研究成果に大きく貢献することを期待しています」と、京都大学農学研究科の飯田訓久教授は述べています。
「本プロジェクトにて京都大学様と協力し、日本の農業の将来に貢献できる研究開発をサポートできることをうれしく思います。monoZエコシステムを利用したエンド to エンドのIoTソリューションは、ユーザの実装プロセスを簡素化し、コアコンピテンシーに集中できるように設計されています。より高いROIを達成し、ビジネスの成功を支援することができると信じています。」と、メリテックCEOのハリッシュ・サチデバは述べています。
Meritech installs IoT system for a small electric agricultural vehicle developed at Kyoto University
TOKYO, JAPAN on March 24, 2023
Today, Meritech's monoZ is pleased to announce the successful installation of a cellular IoT monitoring system for a small agricultural vehicle developed by Kyoto University's Graduate School of Agriculture under the research project titled, "(SA1-115G2) Development of small electric agricultural vehicle capable of continuous farming by automatic operation and charging “(JPJ011397).
The GPS sensors installed in the electric vehicle are connected to monoZ`s monoZero cellular IoT Gateway. monoZero leverages LPWA networks, such as CAT-M1 & NB-IoT, to transmit the sensor data to the cloud using LwM2M over IP and Non-IP Data Delivery (NIDD) technology, which ensures data security by not using the internet. The data is then tracked and visualized in monoZ's Centra-IoT platform using intuitive dashboards.
"Partnering with a trusted system integrator like Meritech, who provides end-to-end IoT services, has simplified our processes and enabled us to focus on our core work. By implementing IoT, we have been able to enhance the quality of our datasets and significantly contribute to the quality of our research.", says Prof. Michihisa Iida, Graduate School of Agriculture, Kyoto University.
"We are proud to collaborate with a prestigious institution like Kyoto University and support their valuable research efforts. Our end-to-end IoT solutions, powered by the monoZ ecosystem, are designed to simplify the implementation process for companies and allow them to focus on their core competencies. By doing so, they can achieve higher ROI and drive better business outcomes.", says Harish Sachdeva, Group CEO, Meritech.
