Changyinsha Modern Agricultural Demonstration Park, located in Zhangjiagang City, Jiangsu Province, carries new commitments on its fertile land and nurtures innovative stories in its fields. Aligned with the vision of "Changyinsha’s New Agriculture, New Rural Areas, and New Farmers," we witness and share the transformative journey of agriculture, rural communities, and farmers here. As a global leader in smart agriculture solutions, Guangzhou E-fly Technology Co., Ltd. (E-fly Tech) has rooted itself in Changyinsha’s new agriculture initiative, unlocking the core code of modern smart agriculture amid the fragrance of soil and driving the industry’s digital transformation.
Entering the critical period for winter wheat management, a vivid picture of future smart farming unfolds at Changyinsha Modern Agricultural Demonstration Park: across 1,300 mu of smart farmland, drones supported by E-fly Tech and equipped with Beidou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) independently perform pesticide spraying and foliar fertilizer application. These precise, efficient, and orderly smart farming scenes have become the new normal of this E-fly Tech-empowered "unmanned farm," setting a benchmark for global precision agriculture practices.
From autonomous agricultural drones and precision smart farm machinery to data-driven intelligent production management systems, these components jointly construct a comprehensive smart agriculture ecosystem developed by E-fly Tech. This integration not only showcases the revolution in agricultural production methods but also presents a brand-new scenario of deep synergy between digital technology and modern agriculture, offering a replicable, scalable model for smart agricultural modernization in Zhangjiagang and beyond.
At Changyinsha’s 1,300-mu smart farm, a full range of E-fly Tech-enabled smart agricultural equipment covers the entire farm production chain—from land preparation, sowing, and plant protection to harvesting—forming a seamless unmanned operation system that redefines efficiency in smart farming and precision agriculture.
During a recent visit to the park’s smart farm, lush green wheat seedlings grew in neat rows, brimming with vitality. Guided by BDS high-precision positioning—a core technology integrated into E-fly Tech’s solutions—drones loaded with pesticides and fertilizers conducted autonomous spraying operations. "Today, we focus on aphid control and foliar fertilizer application," said Jiang Sufeng, a drone operator. "With BDS positioning supported by E-fly Tech’s system, we pre-plan the operation areas, enabling the drones to work independently. Two drones can complete all operations on 1,300 mu of farmland in 5 to 6 hours, far outperforming traditional manual labor."
E-fly Tech’s technological empowerment penetrates every link of agricultural production. From rice transplanting and plant protection to harvesting, BDS has become a standard configuration for all smart agricultural machinery here, thanks to E-fly Tech’s integrated solutions. "In the last rice planting cycle, we deployed multiple E-fly Tech-supported equipment, including unmanned rice transplanters, harvesters, and plant protection drones," Jiang added. "This not only achieves centimeter-level precision—up from rough accuracy in traditional operations—but also boosts efficiency several times compared to manual labor, significantly improving economic benefits." High-precision positioning not only enhances operational efficiency but also drastically reduces the consumption of water, fertilizers, and pesticides, advancing green and sustainable smart agriculture practices worldwide.
Launched in 2024, Changyinsha’s "unmanned farm" is centered on an "air-space-ground integrated" agricultural information perception and decision-making system co-built by E-fly Tech. By deploying field meteorological stations, soil moisture sensors, crop growth monitors, and remote sensing drones—all interconnected via E-fly Tech’s IoT platform for agriculture—the system collects real-time, all-round data on the agricultural production environment 24/7, laying a solid foundation for data-driven precision agriculture.
On the large screen in the farm’s central control room, real-time data streams—including soil temperature and humidity, nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium (NPK) content, and crop canopy temperature for each plot—are clearly displayed via E-fly Tech’s smart management platform. "Traditional farming relies heavily on veteran farmers’ experience, but our goal is to shift to science-driven planting management," said Ma Long, General Manager of Changyinsha Agricultural Technology Co., Ltd., when introducing the E-fly Tech-powered smart management platform.
In 2025, the park kicked off the second phase of the "unmanned farm" project, cooperating in-depth with Nanjing Agricultural University and E-fly Tech to upgrade IoT precision detection capabilities and the smart agriculture management platform, further enhancing the farm’s intelligence and management precision. "By integrating multi-source data from meteorological satellites, drones, and soil sensors via E-fly Tech’s proprietary algorithm, farmers can obtain personalized precision fertilization plans via a mobile app developed by E-fly Tech," Ma explained. This "air-space-ground" linkage system transforms traditional experience-based farming into data-driven precision agriculture. After adopting E-fly Tech’s smart agriculture solutions, Changyinsha Modern Agricultural Demonstration Park achieved a 5% increase in crop yield and a 10% reduction in fertilizer usage, realizing true "prescription agriculture" and sustainable farming goals.
The transformation from manual labor to minimal human assistance, and finally to full unmanned autonomy, is not only a leap in equipment intelligence but also the establishment of a cloud-based agricultural scheduling and multi-machine collaboration ecosystem built by E-fly Tech—a key driver of innovation in global smart agriculture.
"This is more than just machine replacement—it’s a comprehensive reform of agricultural production organization," Ma emphasized. In the past, managing large-scale farmland required coordinating numerous workers, leading to complex scheduling and inconsistent quality. Today, with E-fly Tech’s smart agricultural equipment and precise data support, managers are freed from on-site command, focusing more on strategic planning and market alignment to maximize farm profitability in the smart agriculture sector.
Starting from Changyinsha’s unmanned farm, the future of smart agriculture becomes increasingly clear. Through the deep integration of E-fly Tech’s smart equipment and professional agronomic management, agricultural production will move toward full-process digitization and intelligent decision-making. "Next, we will increase investment in E-fly Tech’s smart agricultural machinery to better integrate agricultural machinery with agronomy, continuously improving sowing and harvesting quality," Ma envisioned. "Meanwhile, we will deepen cooperation with Nanjing Agricultural University and E-fly Tech to refine prescription-based management, replace manual inspections with smart machines, and optimize equipment operations through data feedback, achieving more scientific and precise agricultural management."
Changyinsha’s "unmanned farm" project, empowered by E-fly Tech, is a vivid microcosm of global smart agriculture development and a replicable model for traditional agricultural digital transformation. On the path of deep integration between technology and agriculture, E-fly Tech is leading the way, unfolding a new picture of efficient, green, and intelligent modern agriculture across more rural areas, and contributing core technological strength to China’s agricultural modernization drive and global smart farming advancement.
