]]> SIAM KUBOTA partners up with NECTEC-NSTDA to develop Thailand’s first-ever rice crop calendar application. https://www.nectec.or.th/en/about/news/kas-kubota-nectec.html Fri, 30 Jul 2021 12:01:40 +0000 https://www.nectec.or.th/en/?p=19387

Reinforcing its leadership in agricultural innovation, SIAM KUBOTA Corporation Company Limited has collaborated with the National Electronics and Computer Technology Center (NECTEC-NSTDA) to develop KAS Crop Calendar application, a rice crop calendar application powered by KUBOTA Agri Solution. Catering specifically to Thai farmers, the application serves as an agricultural knowledge bank and is equipped with a vast array of functions, including notifications for different tasks in the crop calendar, income and expense accounts, and summary reports, to maximize rice cultivation efficiency. The application is now available for download.

Dr. Chai Wutiwiwatchai, Director of the National Electronics and Computer Technology Center (NECTEC-NSTDA), said, “NECTEC conducts research and development projects integrating knowledge and technology from various disciplines to strengthen Thailand’s industrial capabilities and innovate technologies that benefit people at large. One of its goals is to create agricultural technology for precision farming and smart farming as its widespread adoption can improve farming efficiency for Thai farmers and enhance the competitive of Thai brands on international levels. This year, NECTEC-NSTDA has planned to extend its smart farming plans nationwide by embarking on collaborative projects with its allies to create beneficial inventions, the most recent of which is the co-development of KAS Crop Calendar application with SIAM KUBOTA, which will serve as a tool that helps Thai farmers maximize their farming efficiency.”

In discussing the development of KAS Crop Calendar application, Mr. Somsak Mauthorn, Senior Executive Vice President of SIAM KUBOTA Corporation Co., Ltd., said that last year SIAM KUBOTA developed www.kubotasolutions.com as a source of knowledge for farmers and the general public and as a channel for the company to present different techniques on agricultural machinery management. The website contains rice cultivation information in the form of a calendar to help farmer clearly visualize their tasks, the use of agricultural machinery to maximize the efficiency at every step in the process, as well as knowledge and cultivation techniques for various plants compiled from governmental agencies and educational institutes with research expertise in these areas.

“SIAM KUBOTA strives to reinforce its leadership in agricultural innovation for the future. The company recognizes that crop calendars are a key piece of agricultural knowledge and has thus developed how its crop calendar is displayed to help bring about maximum farming efficiency. To increase access to its crop calendar, it has co-developed KAS Crop Calendar application with the National Electronics and Computer Technology Center (NECTEC-NSTDA). As a co-developer and consultant, the company has equipped the mobile application with various functionalities, such as notifications for each step in the farming process in the crop calendar, from soil preparation, transplantation, plant care, harvesting to post-harvesting management. In addition, users may add or customize tasks in their crop calendar to better suit their cultivation area or personal techniques. In addition, the application also has an income and expense account to help farmers keep tracks of their income and spending in each stage in their crop calendar, which can assist them in eliminating unnecessary expenses and increasing income for their next cultivation cycle. The application also provides a summary report showing overall details of each growing cycle, such as the start and finish dates of each cycle, all the cultivation stages, all incomes and expenses, and the output of that cycle. This summary report will enable farmers to maximize their farming efficiency,” added Mr. Somsak.

KAS Crop Calendar application is now available for download for all iOS and Android smart phones.

NECTEC has announced the organization strategies for 2018 to reinforce the National Breakthrough Development under the concept ‘Practical R&D, Innovation Springboard’.

Goals of the Year 2018

Research and development of technology and innovation are significant tools to upgrade the country to become THAILAND 4.0 under the concepts of propelling the country with great leap and sustainable development by means of digital innovation (Innovation Springboard). This is to increase the competitiveness of economic system, decrease the social inequality, leave the Middle Income Trap, and develop the nation in various dimensions and in the long run.

To achieve the above targets, the issues must be addressed in policy level with the support of practical measures. For instance, the strategy 8 in the 12th National Economic and Social Development Plan (B.E. 2560-2564) requires that science, technology, research, and innovation be the important tools to develop the nation in various dimensions. In addition, the government has initiated a policy for more investment in research and development with an aim to increase the proportion of investment in R&D/GDP not less than 1.5% by the year 2021, and 2.5% by the year 2036. The issue of measures for industrial cluster development, New S-Curve, in the future will be the new growth engines that enable the country to grow in a breakthrough manner.

National Electronics and Computer Technology Center (NECTEC), under National Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA), Ministry of Science and Technology, has been emphasizing on research and development in the field of electronic and computer technology (digital technology). Meanwhile, the team of researchers has been prepared to focus on researches that can support the growth of the country in various dimensions. There are nine research units, i.e.

  • HCCRU : Human Computer Communication Research Unit
  • DACRU : Data Analytics and Computer Research Unit
  • AAERU : Advanced Automation and Electronics Research Unit
  • NWSRU : Network, Wireless and Security Research Unit
  • SSDRU : Spectroscopic and Sensing Device Research Unit
  • BESRU : Biomedical Electronics and Systems Research Unit
