Description

INNOVATION REGARDING THE USE OF CHIP TECHNOLOGY IN PLANTS

Technical Field

Invention is related to the innovation used for tracking and identification purposes in plants, particularly saplings, which stores all kinds of credentials in herbaceous and woody plants in wetlands and terrestrial areas, stores this information digitally in a cloud system in areas where certificate information is needed such as fruit saplings, and at the same time ensures that it can be viewed on the body with RFID micro-chips, and can store and protect all kinds of label information of plants and trees that are requested to be monitored under control in forested and open areas.

Background of the Technique

The recording and tracking system is of great importance in the development of arboriculture in agricultural areas, in the tracking of saplings and seedling-type plants, especially trees in open areas such as forests, and in their production planning.

One of the most basic known problems in fruit growing in our country is the difficulties experienced in obtaining the right saplings in line with its name. The present invention seedlings in sales, one of the nation's most fundamental problems of countries, aims to ensure the right named purchase of seedlings by the farmer s/producers. It is a known fact that this situation causes a great loss of labor, resources and time, especially in fruit species such as walnuts, which have more youth infertility than other fruit species, when the right saplings are not taken in accordance with their name.

Normally, this registration system is provided with certificates that include many information such as the type and origin of the plants. In the current system, which is used in sapling, it is known that sapling certification labels are easily removed, destroyed and is possible to disposed of.

It is known that it is possible to change hands. This situation reveals the weakness of the system based on trust between producers and auditors and weakens the opportunity for objective inspection. Therefore, while it is a known fact that farmers/customers who do not have sufficient expertise in the purchase of saplings can easily be deceived by amended or removed certificates containing misleading information, it becomes a big problem and significantly reduces the work efficiency in agricultural areas.

Today, there are some agricultural applications that use RFID technology and it is spreading rapidly.

Creating import and export items in a healthy and safe manner by making strategic planning of production on a regional basis in line with the age and needs of these systems in digital environments contributes to a wide range of products from the country's pomiculture to the production of timber products.

The food tracking system, which is mostly used in existing systems, and the maintenance of logistics activities, animal identification information, barcoding after fruit harvest, cold chain temperature sensor warning systems, barcoded flower pot tracking can be given as examples.

Apart from the area of use of RFID technology, it makes a new approach necessary that the economical chips that, which will be placed in the sapling stem by using it as a solution to the above-mentioned problems, will not be easily removed, even if removed, they will be lost due to the damage to the sapling body and will not save its cost. By downloading the smart phone application that we have prepared in accordance with IOS and Android, a system has been developed in which the identification/tracking of various trees, sapling types and varieties can be easily detected by everyone, and it is possible to sell the correct saplings by their name in a reliable and correct manner without the need for expert field knowledge.

The RFID micro-chips were designed by taking into account the fast and reliable placement of trees and saplings on the trunk without damaging the cambium tissue, thus causing the plant to be lost, with a suitable nailing nozzle. A database and interface have been developed for the storage and tracking of digital identity information. The database can run information on all serial numbers of RFID chips (Sapling certificate information) over the cloud. The interface is through a mobile application that we have developed so that this information can be accessed directly. This system can be used in mobile devices with NFC (near-field communication) and smart mobile phones with RFID chip reading feature.

All the materials and micro-chips of the related invention are environmentally friendly products and consist of materials that are not harmful to human, plant and animal health.

The structural and characteristic features of the invention are described on the figures given. For this reason, it is necessary to follow the figures and explanatory information in order to make a healthy evaluation. Based on these problems, the present invention includes a solution system by using RFID technology within the framework of sapling production determined by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry,

Innovation in permanent and reliable recording, monitoring, control and management system, And a more accessible solution that greatly reduces the cost of certificates.

One of the earlier techniques is document US2013233922A1. However, the invention mentioned in this document is a method for tracking and managing a material production flow. The protection for this method is the innovation in monitoring the process from where the material is produced to its circulation and discharge with RFID chips and a set of modular tracking systems. As a method, it deals with the online tracking of any product by the business and its transportation in the process from production to shipment..

Our system, on the other hand, is a tracking system that stores all kinds of identification information on plants in any way, stores this information digitally in a cloud system in areas where certificate information is needed such as fruit seedlings, and at the same time ensures that the information can be viewed with RFID micro-chips placed in the plant body, all kinds of label information. It is about innovation used for tracking and identification that can store and protect. Therefore, our invention differs from the present document.

Other documents close to the state of the art are the files numbered WO2015192066A1 and W02020102669A1. The invention in question consists of a thin clamp like a RFID chip in the plant tracking system and a barcode label that will verify the chip number in that clamp. Thus, RFID contains plant identification information loaded on the chip. It has secured the product with a kind of "two verifications" with a barcode that can deliver the relevant product to its buyer. However, our invention is a completely different application. RFID chips with the aforementioned identity / tag information are installed on the plant or the pot, box, bag, etc. in which it has been transported. It is not handcuffed to vehicles.

Rather RFID chips; It is inserted into the body under the stem bark, into the living cambium tissue, by pushing with a sledge mechanism through the incision made with a nail gun. Imprisoning the plant in its stem is an innovation that allows the chip(s) to be trapped inside the stem in a way that is not visible from the outside and cannot be interfered with, by closing the incision area of the plant itself over time.

It is possible to break off and disassemble the RFID chip holder clamp of the invention numbered WO2015192066A1 in some way. This is a dangerous situation in terms of security. In our own invention, the RFID chip is placed directly inside the plant body, without allowing the RFID/Micro-chip to be seen from the outside. Our invention is highly innovative in terms of safety compared to the invention number WO2015192066A1, as removing or removing the chip will cause the death of the plant.
