National Agriculture and Food Research Organization (NARO) has published a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for "Kayoinougyo1 Shien2 System" that enables easy and cheap remote greenhouse monitoring. This instruction manual serves as the guidance for the installation of "Kayoinougyo Shien System" by the user/farmer for remote greenhouse management. By installing the "Kayoinougyo Shien System" by referring this SOP, the user gets the information necessary for management such as temperature inside the greenhouse in their smartphone at the required time. This enables the user to save labor in managing the greenhouse by reducing patrol time.
Overview
Patrolling greenhouse intended for agriculture is essential for agricultural management. But in the case where greenhouses are scattered in multiple locations, or when farmers commute the greenhouses far from their residence, it is very difficult to physically visit their production sites and obtain agricultural information of each greenhouse. Hence support measures that allow the user to remotely check the status of greenhouse is needed especially in the areas which faces challenges in securing labor force and lack of workers.
Hence in order to reduce the burden of farmer for the patrol work, NARO has developed "Kayoinougyo Shien System" which enables the user to remotely check the information necessary for the management of greenhouse using a smartphone and published its configuration manual.

We have received many inquiries regarding the above manual. Therefore, we published "SOP for Kayoinougyo Shien System" on March 6, 2024, which includes detailed information on microcontroller and sensor settings.
The "Kayoinougyo Shien System" can be installed easily by the user by referring this SOP. This manual contains illustrations to explain in the settings for a microcomputer with a wireless communication function and a small PC that are required to be installed in the house to use this system in an easy-to-understand manner.
It is expected that through the popularization of the "Kayoinougyo Shien System" that utilizes this standard operating procedure manual, farmers will be able to save more labor in patrol work.
