A farmer in Hokkaido automated his 100-hectare farm using AI Codex
This person is Tomiyasu, who has never learned farming or programming. He was pulled to the countryside by friends and spent six years there, managing 100 hectares of broccoli and pumpkins on his own
It goes without saying how tiring it is to farm 100 hectares on your own. Unable to hire help, and traditional agricultural automation equipment is too expensive for the average person, only large enterprises can afford it
His solution: to do it himself with Codex
Using an ESP32 development board, motor driver, and cloud services, he created a remote control system for greenhouse ventilation openings. AI helps him monitor the temperature in each greenhouse and automatically opens windows for ventilation when it gets too hot
He also used Codex to make a field map app, integrating satellite data to monitor crop health. He can see from home how the broccoli in each field is growing
The most impressive is that wiring diagram of the power distribution box - he took a photo of the power distribution box and gave it to AI, which directly generated a complete wiring diagram, clearly marking the function of each wire, how to connect it, and what to pay attention to
A farmer who doesn't know how to program has automated his entire farm with AI on his own
