Recently, the machinery roared in the Gangwan village of Liuzhi Street in Huangpi District, Wuhan, Hubei province, and the spring ploughing preparation began in full swing. In the local 20,000 acres of high-standard farmland, several Beidou unmanned tractors shuttle back and forth in the field for ploughing operations. The operation performance of flexible turning and autonomous turning is not inferior to that of traditional hand-driven agricultural machinery.

"After the tractor is equipped with a Beidou navigation terminal, it can achieve centimeter-level accurate positioning, automatic path planning and obstacle avoidance, and the working efficiency is more than 30% higher than that of manual driving." The person in charge of the site introduced. According to statistics, the same area of 30 acres of land, the traditional rotary tiller takes 1 day, and the Beidou rotary tiller can be completed in 3 hours at the fastest, significantly improving the planting efficiency.

Agricultural machines equipped with Beidou terminals can operate continuously for 24 hours. After path planning is realized through Beidou technology, a single person can control multiple tractors for accurate operation. Farm operators can use the platform to monitor the depth of cultivated land, vehicle speed, trench length and other parameters in real time to optimize operation accuracy and income. After starting and ending points and turning parameters are set in advance by the mobile App, the system automatically generates the optimal seedling transplanting path, synchronously realizes intelligent operations such as obstacle avoidance and turning, which not only saves manpower, but also ensures the survival rate of seedlings to reach 100%.

At present, Hubei Province has promoted 58,000 Beidou agricultural intelligent terminals (sets), of which 11,900 units (sets) have been added this year, and the cumulative monitoring farmland operation area has reached 184 million mu.
