Delta (Thailand) held a grand opening ceremony for the Delta’s first Smart Farm Solution for community enterprises in Thailand. The Delta Smart Farm is a part of a BOI project called Investment Promotion Measures for Grassroots Economy. 
The IoT-driven Delta Smart Farm Solution is specifically designed to meet the needs of Thailand’s local community enterprises. It features the world-class VTScada software control platform with integrated Delta industrial automation devices including programmable Logic Controllers (PLC), variable Frequency Drives (VFD), human Machine Interface (HMI) and 4G Routers

The solution leverages automation to improve efficiency, reduce labor and save water. It has a 5.4 kWp solar rooftop system that is used for the Smart Farm operations. A Reverse Osmosis water treatment system enables wastewater reuse to cut down on total water usage. This water reuse system only has 10-20% water consumption compared with normal requirements. 

Speaking at the event, Mr. Jackie Chang, Delta Thailand President, said, “Today we are excited to open our Delta’s first Smart Farm in Thailand and start a new chapter of innovation and cooperation for a sustainable society. We hope this project can start a new smart farming model that revolutionizes Thailand’s agricultural sector and benefits communities across the country.”

Delta has many years of experience developing Smart Farm solutions in Singapore to meet the demand for more efficient food production and better food security. In 2021, Delta launched a 12-meter containerized smart plant factory at the Punggol Digital District in Singapore. The container showcases Delta’s smart automation technologies, fans, thermal management solutions and LED lighting. Compared with traditional farming methods, the system consumes 5% less water and shortens growing time from 40-45 days to just 35 days with more consistent weight and quality.
