Samsung Electronics Co.'s artificial intelligence (AI)-powered smart farm system is helping a Jeju apple mango farm reduce energy costs and increase yields. When Maeil Business Newspaper visited the farm on Wednesday, where Samsung's SmartThings Pro system had been applied, clusters of reddish apple mangoes hung beneath the ceiling.
The temperature inside the greenhouse exceeded 26 degrees Celsius despite it being late April. Apple mangoes, which are sold at over 30,000 won ($21) each, are regarded as the highest-grade mangoes produced in Korea.
Growing such premium fruit, valued for its sweetness, texture, and appearance, requires precise control of temperature and humidity. Despite the use of AI technology, the farm looks similar to any ordinary greenhouse from the outside.
Inside, however, it houses a system that automatically manages temperature, humidity, and energy consumption. This farm represents a leading example of how Samsung's SmartThings Pro is being extended to agricultural settings. The system tracks environmental conditions and device status in real time, serving as a model for integrated smart farm control and enabling centralized management across multiple farm sites.
