ボンズカジノスロット to exhibit at SOLID 2015, an IoT event held in San Francisco Unveiling of “techrice” prototype, a cloud service for rice farmers
2015.06.22
Tokyo, June 22, 2015 – From June 23-25, ボンズカジノスロット, Inc. (TSE JASDAQ: 4819, DG) will exhibit at SOLID 2015 (SOLID) in San Francisco, a hardware and Internet of Things (IoT) conference sponsored by O’Reilly Media, Inc. This will mark DG’s second participation at SOLID, after appearing at the inaugural event in 2014.
At this year’s SOLID, DG will exhibit its “techrice” prototype, a cloud service for rice farmers. Utilizing low-energy sensor-network technologies, techrice allows users to verify water levels, temperatures, and humidity levels in their rice paddies in realtime, anywhere in the world, using their smartphones. The service was developed for use ボンズカジノスロットparsely populated areas where the average age of farmers continues to grow, and aims to reduce the effort required to manage rice paddies in distant locations. In the prototype service, specialized instruments installed in rice paddies measure water levels through ultrasonic sensors; this data is then uploaded every few seconds to internet servers via WiFi and mobile networks. DG is also considering the use of BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy), a low-energy transmission method, in the future. At present, the prototype is being installed in Kamogawa City, Chiba Prefecture, with the cooperation of local farmers, to collect actual data and verify various issues such as signal, batteries, and data transmission. From now on, DG will consider collaborative research with manufacturers of agricultural machinery to perfect the prototype. In addition, the company intends to utilize the sensor-network and IoT technologies cultivated in the development of techrice in fields other than agriculture.
