What 植物工場の栽培管理 do
An English description is being prepared. Japanese description:
植物工場では、野菜や苗を中心とした作物を施設内で、光、温度、湿度、二酸化炭素濃度、培養液などの環境条件を人工的に制御し、季節や天候、地域、場所等にとらわれずに自動的に連続生産する。植物工場には人工光型、太陽光型、太陽光・人工光併用型があり、生産システムの採算性、効率性が重視される。ここでは、人口光型の植物工場を例に業務内容について説明する。
栽培管理の仕事では、育苗室で野菜等の種子を発芽させ、苗が育ったら栽培室に移し、生育用の栽培棚等で培養液を与えて生育を促す。工場内では、ハウスの奥行き、畝幅、株間を考慮し設定された平方メートルあたりの適正値に従い、室内の光量と温度及び培養液の温度と湿度が常に最適な状態を維持できるよう確認する。また、外部と遮断された植物工場でも種子や培地などから細菌が侵入する可能性があるので、適時洗浄作業することも大切である。太陽光型の植物工場では、更に、一定期間栽培した後の栽培棚は殺菌噴霧、乾燥させてから抗菌加工するなどの対策も必要とされる。
成長した植物は収穫され、生育室から作業室に移され包装の上、出荷されることになる。種を蒔いてから育苗、苗の植え替え、生育を経て収穫できるようになるまでには、３～４週間かかる。
一般的に植物工場では、定植と収穫に労力と時間を割かなければならず、それらの作業が容易にできる栽培パネルを使用するなど、工夫されている。
収穫はまず、栽培パネルの下の栽培樋に残留している培養液の除去からはじめ、各栽培棚から栽培樋ごと取り出す。その後、栽培桶は昇降チェーンなどを利用して収穫し、包装する作業スペースに運ぶ。ここでの野菜等の移動は自動化されていることが多い。
作業スペースでは、運ばれてきた野菜等を選別機にかけ、重さや形状、色合い、糖度など、品質ごとに選別・組分けて、袋詰め、箱詰めの作業を行い出荷する。

What drives the annual growth rate
Projected pay = current pay × (1 + annual growth)^years. The annual growth rate starts from a base wage-growth rate and adds or subtracts labor demand (the job-openings-to-applicants ratio), wage momentum and AI replacement risk for each occupation. Projections are not guarantees. How it is calculated →

How AI is changing this job
A written analysis for this occupation is being prepared.
AI replacement risk compares the parts of a job that are easy to hand to AI or software (processing information, documentation, repetitive computer work) with the parts that are hard to automate (physical work, working closely with people, judgment in unpredictable settings), using the MHLW job tag survey on work activities, work context, skills and knowledge. The result is a relative position among all occupations in the country, scaled to 0–100%. Methodology →
