養蜂業× IoT AI = Bee Sensing 温度でハチの元気を見る!最新のテクノロジーで養蜂業を効率化

Sensing temperature tells you about the bees' health.


Bees are heterotherms. Monitor temerature and humidity of beehives, and you can judge whether bees are active or not and whether you should react something or not. Bee Sensing provides you a smartphone application. You can check temperature and humidity of beehives with it. It also pushes you alert when you have to go to your apiary. You would know the status of your bees without visiting your apiary. You can make a plan how to check beehives before visiting apiary. This system monitors bees' health for you and shortens time of checking and frees your time. Bee sensing can leverage beekeeper's productivity. It also provides you checking lists and to do memo so as to make better quality of beekeeping.Bee Sensing 導入前と導入後の違い

Bee Sensing service diagram


 Bee Sensing is a system that reduces work load of beekeepers’ every day operation. Beekeepers are obliged to spend much time on maintenance of bee boxes which are located in distant places.This system set beekeepers free from frequent patrol of their bee boxes using IoT AI, or mobile sensors and smartphone apps supported by cloud AI. IoT AI system pushes alert using learning data from sensors and human input.

IoT, AI and SoLoMoN technology


IoT(Internet of things)

IoT stands for Internet of Things, sending status data of materials to the Internet and sharing information and giving back some feedbacks.

AI(Artificial Intelligence)

AI stands for Artificial Intelligence. Reproduce desirable outcome via machine learning.

SoLoMoN technology

SoLoMoN technology enables you to receive suggested judgement and measures.

 

Bee Sensing uses SoLoMoN technology. What is that?


ad-dice Co., Ltd. developed SoLoMoN device. Just attaching this kit to an object you would like to monitor its status, You will obtain IoT AI system which learns from sensing data of an object and avail yourself of inputing work history and machine learning from sensor data and human work knowledge. IoT AI system reduces your burden and improves your team output quality. (Patent issued 2015-098928)  This technology is adaptable for beekeeping and all other human works.

How does Bee Sensing weave IoT, AI and SoLoMoN technology ?


IoT

In the case of Bee Sensing, sending status data of beehives are IoT.

AI

Machine learning from combined data via IoT nature data from sensors and human work history data input from smartphone application. This system learns how to solve problems of beekeeping every day.

SoLoMoN technology

SoLoMoN technology enables you not only to receive alert from beehives which are located in distant places but also to work with large numbers of people and make knowledge support for new comers. (Patent issued 2015-098928)

Traceability tells your product lovers the differece of your apiary environment and your effort.


Honeys' taste and color and flavor differ from each other. Each season and each place produces different honey taste and color and flavor. Because flowers around apiary differ. Bee Sensing tells your customers of honey with sharing procution history data. Who produces, when taken, what flowers there were around apiary, and so on.  We believe beekeepers are proud of their apiary and have effort on beekeeping. You will obtain a clue to build a strong ties with your customer.

Your honey will get customers added value of security and  interesting experience like wine to enjoy difference of taste and color and flavor which is caused by difference of who/when/where/how it is produced.

Productivity gives you chance to build your great brand and dreams come true


The users of this system already frees themselves and uses their time to leverage their buisiness. To raise more bees and to build a great original brand.
Most beekeepers are too busy to build their own brand. Beekeeping consumes long long hours. Advanced technology eliminates this dilenma and gives you a great opportunity.

Installation of extension unit


   
         
Place an extension unit on the hive frame. 1) Drop two short cables into beehive corner. 2) Drop a long cable int o hive among hive frame. Let a tip be center of beehive.   Insert paper or crocus sack between extension unit and beehive with paying attention not to move cables.   Close cover with paying attention not to let cover nip sensors or cables.
Done!



Of the beekeepers, by the beekeepers, for the beekeepers.


Bee Sensing 開発者

Matsubara, project leader, has started this project to increase his performance of healthy beekeeping. Beekeepers are obliged to spend much time on maintenance of bee boxes which are located in distant places.
This system set beekeepers free from frequent patrol of their bee boxes using IoT AI, mobile sensors and smartphone apps supported by cloud AI.

This system is not based on fantasy of nerd but on real needs of beekeepers.

Frequently Asked Questions


The belows are frequently asked questions. Please feel free to contact us to get further information.

How to attach SoLoMoN devices to my beehives?
We will send you SoLoMoN devices by door-to-door parcel delivery service. Each device has 2 cables. Insert one to a center of bee hive and another to a side of inside box. Put a device beneath a cover of a box or attach to outside of a box.
Is solar panel optional?
Yes. If you can get home electricity, buying solar systems are not necessary.
