ITRI Material and Chemical Research Institute: Revolutionizing Black Fungus Cultivation with AI

ITRI’s Material and Chemical Research Institute (ITRI-MCRI) is dedicated to advancing smart agriculture and driving industrial growth. This exhibition showcases the achievements of a joint smart agriculture project with the Ministry of Digital Affairs (Taiwan).
Booth Highlight:
AI-powered Smart Black Fungus Cultivation Solution: Addressing agricultural challenges and enhancing yield and quality.
Exhibition Content:
High-Capacity 5G Monitoring and Cultivation System: Combining a 5G private network, AI image recognition, and environmental sensing technologies to create a comprehensive solution for black fungus cultivation:
1. AI-Powered Self-Propelled Black Fungus Growth Monitoring System
o Utilizes a self-propelled platform equipped with an AI image recognition system to automatically identify the growth stage of mycelium and detect diseases.This system automatically analyzes mycelium growth stages, identifies disease types, and collects data for big data analysis – all in real-time.
o Reduces human intervention in cultivation rooms, minimizing contamination risks.
o Improves labor efficiency and reduces labor costs.
2. Wireless Environmental Sensing and Big Data Analysis System
o Collects data such as temperature, humidity, and CO2 concentration through environmental sensors and transmits it to a cloud platform for big data analysis.
o Establishes an optimal cultivation model to improve yield and reduce losses.
Benefits:
• Enhances the quality and yield of black fungus products.
• Reduces labor costs and minimizes resource waste.
• Establishes a data-driven smart agriculture model.
Qualitative Benefits:
• Elevates product quality, enhancing brand image.
• Minimizes human error, reducing cultivation risks.
• Optimizes cultivation environments, improving black fungus growth.
• Establishes a data-driven management system, reducing reliance on experience and improving management efficiency.
• Saves labor costs and optimizes human resource allocation.
Quantitative Benefits:
• Increases black fungus yield to over 400g per bag with a yield rate of over 85%.
• Reduces the infection rate of mycelium bags to below 15%.
• Decreases labor costs by 80% when cultivating over 10,000 bags.
• Increases the success rate of mycelium colonization to over 90%.
• Achieves 80% accuracy in data-driven SOP strategies for black fungus cultivation.
