The ARMxy BL335 not only acts as a communication gateway but also serves as the "on-site brain" for the entire farm and cold storage. By bringing control logic down to the field, it solves three major pain points in agricultural scenarios: unstable networks, harsh environments, and low fault tolerance.

Case Details

For many fruit growers, peach cultivation has long been a business driven by experience and intuition — when to heat, when to ventilate, when to irrigate, when to store. Decisions often rely on “reading the weather” and years of hands-on know-how.

But in Qin’an, China, a different model is already working — one where data speaks, systems control, and experience becomes replicable.

Today, we’re sharing a real-world smart agriculture case from the Qin’an Peach Smart Farm, breaking down an end-to-end intelligent peach cultivation solution built on the ARMxy Series BL335 Industrial Edge Controller.

One System, Two Core Scenarios

Rather than isolated “smart points,” this solution covers the entire peach lifecycle, from cultivation to cold-chain storage:

✅ Scenario 1: Greenhouse / Orchard Cultivation (Primary Agriculture)

Solar & linked greenhouses
Potted peach cultivation
Early, off-season, and staggered harvesting
Integrated water & fertilizer management
Environmental + pest control coordination

✅ Scenario 2: Ice-Temperature Cold Storage (Post-Harvest)

Cold and ice-temperature preservation
Precise temperature & humidity control
Extended storage cycles
Off-season sales and higher fruit value

At the center of both scenarios is a single industrial-grade edge controller: ARMxy BL335.

Why BL335? Because Control Must Stay On-Site

In agricultural environments, three challenges are constant:

Unstable networks
Harsh field conditions
Zero tolerance for control failure

The BL335 is designed with a clear philosophy:

Keep critical control and decision-making on-site.

It is not just a data gateway — it serves as the local control brain for both greenhouses and cold storage facilities.

What BL335 Does in This Project

1️⃣ Real-Time Closed-Loop Greenhouse Control

BL335 directly connects to:

Temperature, humidity, light sensors
Soil moisture and CO₂ sensors
Irrigation & fertilization valves
Curtains, fans, heating, and lighting systems

Through local control logic, it enables:

Precise temperature regulation
Automatic humidity adjustment
Growth-stage-based water & fertilizer strategies
Early, delayed, and stable production mode switching

👉 All without relying on cloud connectivity.

2️⃣ Ice-Temperature Cold Storage Precision Control

Within intelligent preservation warehouses, BL335 handles:

Refrigeration unit control and power regulation
Stable temperature & humidity maintenance
Multi-sensor cross-validation
Local interlocks and safety alarms

This on-site precision control was a key factor in achieving:

Over 100 days of peach preservation in the Qin’an project.

3️⃣ Data Foundation for Smart Farm Platforms

BL335 also acts as the first data entry point for upper-level smart farm platforms:

Local data acquisition
Standardized production records
Full lifecycle planting data
Integration with operations and energy systems

To date, the project has accumulated:

3+ million agricultural data records, covering environment, cultivation, irrigation, and fruit growth.

4️⃣ Agriculture Is a Long-Term System, Not a One-Time Project

With a Linux-based architecture and flexible on-site logic:

BL335 runs stably over long periods
Control strategies can evolve continuously
Solutions are replicable across farms and regions

One solution — multiple deployments.

Proven Cultivation Models Enabled by the System

This solution has already supported several mature production models:

• Potted peach + ice-temperature storage + AI-assisted off-season production • Prefabricated intelligent solar greenhouse cultivation • Early-harvest temperature-controlled greenhouse production
