The demonstration park has worked to develop smart agriculture informatization, focusing on creating a full industry chain platform integrating agricultural seedling planting, production processing, and cultural tourism research and education. It promotes contract agriculture and the integration of production, supply, and marketing, while also providing customized smart agriculture solutions externally.

The park also uses digital twin technology to build real modeling scenarios for the real-time viewing of park information. By empowering planting with the internet of things and agriculture, it allows for the control of vast good land on a square-inch screen. 

Through independent research and development and multi-party collaboration, the demonstration park has created an integrated platform for smart agriculture full industry chain control, enabling comprehensive industry monitoring and control. This promotes the deep integration of information technology and agricultural production, providing replicable and insightful smart solutions for the development of modern agricultural parks.

In crop planting, cultivation, field management, harvesting, sales, and more, the park utilizes over 80 intelligent sensing devices for meteorological environment monitoring, soil moisture monitoring, and growth status video surveillance scattered throughout the fields. These devices collect massive amounts of data in real time and transmit it back to the control platform, transforming it into intuitive and dynamic information. This enables agricultural platform monitoring and management, ensuring the standardization, precision, and intelligence of agricultural production.
