Introducing the NG platform
Considering the importance of smart agriculture, NG company has designed and implemented a smart agriculture platform called NG-Farm. This platform currently includes four intelligent services: smart agriculture smart greenhouse smart livestock security of large-scale farms. This platform is designed to be expandable and can be upgraded and developed according to the requirements of agriculture. The software and hardware of this platform were The latest technologies such as cloud computing, edge computing, machine learning, NB-IoT communication protocol, LoRa communication protocol, and big data are used in designing the NG platform. The software of this platform was designed by Tirouj Nirooye Gharb company and its hardware was designed in cooperation with Nirooye Gharb company. The software and hardware of this platform were The latest technologies such as cloud computing, edge computing, machine learning, NB-IoT communication protocol, LoRa communication protocol, and big data are used in designing the NG platform.
