Digital Intelligence Empowers Agriculture, Technology Revitalizes Farmers
Recently, the automated silkworm feeding system independently developed by Suzhou Concela Automation Technologies Co., Ltd., a company located in Xiangcheng Economic Development Zone, was officially launched and successfully introduced by Zhongke Cocoon Source (Suzhou) Bio-industry Co., Ltd., injecting strong momentum into a new model of modern silkworm farming.

As a high-end equipment manufacturing company specializing in providing customers with automated and intelligent equipment, Concela adheres to the corporate vision of "Technological Innovation, Intelligent Manufacturing for the Future," and is committed to applying cutting-edge technologies to industries such as logistics, automotive, and aviation to promote industrial upgrading. The company has been deeply involved in solution planning, mechanical design, and automatic control for many years. In the integration of automated production lines, it has mastered non-standard technologies such as automated logistics, visualized data collection and display, and automated handling and palletizing, enabling it to tailor solutions to different customer needs and accumulate rich industry experience and technical strength. The successful development of this automated silkworm feeding system is a concentrated manifestation of its technological strength and innovative spirit. The system not only achieves fully automated feeding of silkworms, but also precisely completes automated, quantitative, and timed feeding tasks through the collaborative operation of a sophisticated robotic arm and an AGV intelligent handling robot, effectively solving the problems of low efficiency and uneven feeding inherent in traditional manual feeding. Simultaneously, the system's built-in IoT module can monitor and precisely control the temperature, humidity, light, and ventilation in the silkworm rearing room in real time, providing a suitable growth environment for the silkworms and further improving breeding efficiency and cocoon quality. Furthermore, the system is simple and user-friendly to operate, easy to learn, and reduces the technical requirements for operators, making the breeding process more intelligent and standardized.

Yuan Zhengqiang, General Manager of Zhongke Cocoon Source (Suzhou) Bio-industry Co., Ltd., which introduced the system, stated, "The project is fully automated, achieving constant temperature and humidity. All conditions are controlled according to the optimal temperature and humidity for silkworms. A 1,000-square-meter area can raise 5,000 sheets of silkworm eggs annually, significantly improving breeding efficiency."

Peng Guangjun, General Manager of Concela, introduced, "We continuously invest in R&D every year, providing solid support for technological innovation. The company was recognized as a high-tech enterprise in 2018 and currently possesses nearly 180 independently developed intellectual property rights, including 31 authorized invention patents. In the future, we will continue to increase R&D investment in agricultural automation, actively exploring more automated solutions for agricultural scenarios, and using technology to promote agricultural modernization."
In recent years, Xiangcheng Economic Development Zone has closely focused on high-quality development, actively developing three leading industries: intelligent equipment, new energy, and new materials, vigorously cultivating high-tech enterprises, and optimizing the innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem. With its profound technological accumulation, Concela has successfully applied mature automation and IoT solutions to new industrial scenarios, demonstrating not only the company's strong independent R&D and market expansion capabilities but also the significant achievements of the Economic Development Zone in promoting industrial innovation and upgrading and cultivating new productive forces. In the future, the Economic and Technological Development Zone will continue to strengthen the supply of innovation policies and service support, help more enterprises break through key technologies, promote the deep integration of the innovation chain and the industrial chain, and inject strong scientific and technological momentum into the high-quality development of the regional economy.
