Daedong Introduces AI-Based Agricultural Machinery Consultation and Disaster Alert Services

AI Daedongi Learns Data from All Daedong Models
Offers Customized Agricultural Machinery Consultation Service
Predicts Major Disasters Up to 10 Days in Advance

Daedong announced on September 1 that it has introduced LLM (Large Language Model)-based agricultural machinery consultation and disaster alert services to its artificial intelligence (AI) agricultural platform, the Daedong Connect App.

Through this renewal, Daedong has implemented an LLM-based agricultural machinery consultation service by training its agricultural chatbot, "AI Daedongi," with data such as user guides and catalogs for all of its vehicle models. This service provides a wide range of information, including operation methods, troubleshooting, and maintenance of agricultural machinery. Users can exchange questions and answers in various formats, including text, voice, photos, and file attachments. In addition, the app offers video manuals for each product, enabling users to save time and costs on post-purchase maintenance through self-diagnosis of their agricultural machinery.

Alongside this, the disaster alert service from the Rural Development Administration has also been integrated into the Connect App. The disaster alert service can predict major disasters such as heavy rain, heavy snow, and drought up to 10 days in advance, based on highly precise 30-meter grid forecasts, which are much more detailed than the 5-kilometer grid forecasts provided by the Korea Meteorological Administration. Users can check disaster information in real time through the Connect App and receive customized agricultural work instructions for each stage-prevention, immediate response, and post-disaster-from "AI Daedongi," allowing them to manage crop growth conditions more effectively.

Since its launch in 2021, Daedong has renewed the Daedong Connect App annually, developing it into a comprehensive platform that leads the spread of smart agriculture infrastructure. Starting with remote management and control of agricultural machinery, Daedong has continuously expanded core functions such as providing farming information and AI chatbot consultations, enhancing user convenience and on-site usability, which has received positive feedback. As of July this year, the cumulative number of subscribers surpassed 30,000. Daedong plans to reach 40,000 subscribers by the end of this year and secure 200,000 by 2030 by continuously advancing its services. The company will first provide more specialized and precise consultation services by additionally training the system with pest and disease data from the Rural Development Administration and agricultural professional books within this year.

Lee Kwangwook, Head of Domestic Business at Daedong, said, "Daedong is focused on enhancing the efficiency and sustainability of the agricultural field through AI and data-driven solutions," adding, "Our goal is to evolve the Daedong Connect App into an 'agricultural AI agent' that ultimately supports optimal decision-making while helping farmers solve various challenges they face."
