1. Background & Challenges

As a regional flagship demonstration project for modern agri-tourism integration, the Huaijing Agri-Tourism Cultural Industrial Park is dedicated to the large-scale, standardized cultivation of high-end Shine Muscat grapes.

Shine Muscat is a high-value, highly sensitive economic crop with stringent agronomic requirements across all growth stages—including berry enlargement, color transition, sugar accumulation, and aroma profile development. Achieving premium fruit quality demands rigorous water purity, precise nutrient ratios, regulated microclimates (temperature/humidity), and optimal photoperiods.

Core Challenges:

● Large Scale & Labor Costs: Managing 150 massive greenhouses (2,250 m² each) spanning over 33 hectares with conventional manual labor leads to prohibitive operational costs and management blind spots.

● Groundwater Hardness & Clogging: Deep-well water with high mineral hardness, sand, and micro-impurities easily causes dripper clogging, pipeline scaling, and soil salinization.

● Precision Deficits in Manual Care: Traditional irrigation and spraying methods cannot meet the exacting demands required for high-yield, premium-grade table grapes.

To address these challenges, the park integrated the complete smart facility agriculture system from Shandong Yunhai Intelligent Equipment, establishing a digital, standardized, and intelligent modern fruit cultivation ecosystem.

2. Integrated Solutions & System Architecture

Yunhai Intelligent Equipment delivered a comprehensive, end-to-end system tailored to the park's multi-span layout and the biological requirements of Shine Muscat grapes:

① Deep Water Purification & Head Filtration System (RO Reverse Osmosis + Multi-Stage Filtration)

● Multi-Stage Physical Filtration: High-efficiency industrial filtration units remove suspended solids, sand particles, and organic colloids at the headworks, ensuring pipeline longevity and unclogged flow.

● RO Deep Desalination & Softening: Significantly lowers electrical conductivity (EC value) and softens hard well water. This provides pure, high-standard baseline water for precision fertigation, eliminating dripper scaling and protecting the grapevine root system.

② Digital Smart Fertigation System & IoT Cloud Control

● Automated Nutrient Dosing: High-precision automated fertigation units feature multi-channel stock suction and electronic flow metering. The system executes automated, timed, and quantitative dosing tailored to phenological stages (budding, flowering, berry swelling, and veraison).

● Smart Zoned Shift-Irrigation: Industrial-grade weatherproof control cabinets, decoders, and solenoid valves coordinate grouped shift-irrigation across all 150 greenhouses, maintaining stable water pressure and uniform delivery.

● IoT Remote Management: Supporting 4G/Ethernet cloud connectivity, farm managers can monitor irrigation status and execute operations via mobile app, tablet, or central control dashboards for true unattended automation.

③ Overhead Microclimate Regulation System (Suspended Micro-Sprinklers)

● Uniform Overhead Fogging: Fine micro-sprinklers are evenly distributed along the ceiling of all 150 greenhouses.

● Dynamic Temperature & Humidity Control: During summer heatwaves and dry periods, automated misting provides rapid evaporative cooling and humidification, preventing leaf scorch and fruit dehydration while maintaining optimal growth conditions.

④ Automated Greenhouse Crop Protection System

● High-Pressure Micro-Mist Technology: Replaces labor-intensive manual spraying with an automated, ultra-fine misting system.

● 3D Canopy Coverage: Delivers comprehensive coverage on both sides of foliage, boosting chemical adherence and efficacy for rapid pest and disease management—all with zero chemical exposure to farm operators.

⑤ All-Weather Supplemental Crop Lighting System

● Grape-Specific Spectrum: Professional agricultural lighting fixtures tailored to grapevine photosynthetic absorption peaks.

● Photoperiod Optimization: Automatically compensates for insufficient natural light on overcast days, early spring, and winter, enhancing photosynthetic efficiency, strengthening cane vigor, accelerating uniform sugar accumulation, and shortening the growth cycle.

3. Key Results & Business Value

● Intensive Operations & Reduced Labor Costs: A single operator can manage fertigation, climate control, and crop protection across all 150 greenhouses via the Yunhai IoT Cloud, drastically reducing routine field labor expenditures.

● Resource Efficiency & Eco-Friendly Cultivation: Precise root-zone nutrient delivery achieves over 40% water savings and over 30% fertilizer savings, minimizing nutrient runoff and protecting soil health.

● Superior Fruit Quality & Commercial Value: Optimal water purity, tailored nutrition, and total environmental control ensure uniform berry size, vibrant skin gloss, balanced sugar-acid ratios, and a rich muscat aroma, significantly lifting the Grade-A commercial fruit yield.

● Regional Agri-Tourism Benchmark: The project establishes a high-standard demonstration park integrating modern facility cultivation, digital farm management, and ecological agri-tourism, providing a mature, scalable blueprint for regional agricultural modernization.
