Abstract

 

In recent years, mechanization and greening have become the inevitable trend of agricultural development. Plant factories have the advantages of high planting area efficiency, stable crop growth and continuous production. Although its demand and scale are increasing, there is still a lack of low-carbon research on the layout of plant factory, which leads to the restriction of actual production capacity and unnecessary waste of resources and environmental burden. Therefore, this paper takes a leafy vegetable processing plant factory as the research object and puts forward a plant layout design based on the improved system layout planning (SLP) method for the design requirements of high yield, high efficiency and low carbon. In this paper, the initial layout plan of a vegetable processing plant is output by combing the plant foundation data (PQRST) needed for layout planning, analyzing and quantifying the logistic, carbon emission, and non-logistic relationships among the operating units. And draw the position correlation map and the area correlation map based on the integrated relationship, and correct them according to the actual constraints and restrictions. For the three alternative layout schemes of the plant factory based on the improved SLP method, the material flow volume and carbon emission factors of the schemes are calculated and analyzed, and the optimal layout scheme 2 is determined according to the results. Combined with the parameter design scheme of the production line, the layout scheme of the vegetable processing plant and the factory simulation software, the detailed design of the layout factory simulation model is established, and the original scheme is compared with the new scheme to verify the design effect.
