Vietnam's exclusive smart insect monitoring system enters the Japanese market

The smart pest monitoring system is a product that won the Make in Vietnam Silver Award in the category of Excellent Digital Product in 2021. This product is designed and manufactured exclusively in Vietnam by RYNAN Technologies Vietnam Joint Stock Company.

RYNAN Technologies Vietnam's products apply artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to automatically identify, count the quantity, density, and types of pests and return results in the form of intuitive charts. This Made in Vietnam technology product provides the ability to clearly show the correlation between harmful pests and beneficial natural enemies, thereby helping farmers have a quick and general view of the balance of the ecosystem. From there, the system will provide warnings and forecasts about the pest situation in the field so that farmers can choose timely treatment methods through the SaaS central management software.

With the smart pest monitoring system, farmers will be able to track information and data via smartphones. Farmers do not need to go to the fields to check for diseases or have to trap and count insects in the traditional way.

Through the Ryan Mekong application, farmers can monitor the situation or history of pests and diseases no matter where they are, at any time. Not only that, this system also helps state management agencies manage, synthesize data, report, warn, and forecast pests with high accuracy through the central management software.

This year, RYNAN Technologies will export 50 Smart Insect Monitoring Systems to Japan, and this number will increase in 2024. As a high-tech solution in agricultural development, RYNAN Technologies Vietnam's products apply artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to automatically identify, count the quantity, density, and species of beneficial or harmful insects and return results in the form of intuitive charts.

Mr. Thai Nguyen Hoai Thien, project manager of the VDAPES digital agriculture platform development of RYNAN Technologies Vietnam, said: This made in Vietnam technology product clearly shows the correlation between harmful pests and beneficial natural enemies, thereby helping farmers have a quick and general view of the balance of the ecosystem.

This system helps state management agencies manage, synthesize data, report, warn, and forecast pests with high accuracy through central management software. Mr. Thai Nguyen Hoai Thien said: IMS plays a role as a tool to help farmers monitor pests and natural enemies in the field. Artificial intelligence provides statistics and visualizations for managers and farmers to proactively control the pest situation and have timely response plans; aiming at the ultimate goal of optimizing crop yield and productivity; minimizing losses and increasing the economic value of agricultural products. At the same time, when the system is widely covered, it will provide a database to help manage, plan policies, and build pest maps.

With its technological strengths, the research team at RYNAN has combined current trending platforms including artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning and the internet of things (IoT) to identify and analyze data for this product. The smart insect monitoring system operates on solar energy, ensuring electrical safety during operation, especially in heavy rain and wind, and is easy to install in remote locations without the need for grid power. The trap also has a lightning protection device to protect the device during stormy days.

Mr. Thai Nguyen Hoai Thien added: The IMS system uses AI to automatically identify and count more than 150 different types of insects, including harmful and harmless insects and natural enemies on many types of crops such as rice and fruit trees. After the data is collected, screened, arranged and analyzed, the results will be returned in the form of charts and visual maps, clearly showing the correlation between harmful pests and beneficial natural enemies. At the same time, the system also takes advantage of the power of edge computing technology to increase the system's image processing speed almost instantly (real-time), Al analyzes right at the station, optimizing hardware resources. Images are collected and analyzed at the station based on the insect density reaching the threshold at that station, in order to give an optimal result.

Thanks to the use of solar energy and battery storage, Rynan's insect monitoring system can ensure continuous operation over large areas such as rice fields, vegetable fields, large-scale farming areas and is independent of the national grid.

With such outstanding advantages, this system has been highly appreciated by many provinces and cities and currently there are 60 monitoring stations installed in Bac Lieu , Can Tho, Dong Thap, Kien Giang, Lam Dong, Nghe An, Tra Vinh...

Currently, the Rynan Company's Smart Insect Monitoring System is a high-tech solution that is exclusive in terms of the market. The product has reached the Japanese market, one of the most demanding markets, showing that Vietnamese high-tech products have reached the world level.

Dr. Nguyen Thanh My (a Vietnamese scientist returning from Canada), CEO of Rynan Technologies, affirmed that this system, as well as many high-tech agricultural products developed by the company, also aim for a larger goal: contributing to building a digital transformation ecosystem for Vietnamese agriculture./.
