The Challenge
Elders, a rural service provider in Australia, was seeking a digital platform that would enable their agronomists to provide a consistent service and collaborate with their growers. They wanted a solution that would be beneficial for their clients to adopt as well. The challenge was to find a platform that would ensure continuity in their agronomy service provision, even when agronomists might relocate to other branches, and that would provide access to historical agronomic data for all agronomists.
About The Customer
Elders has been an integral part of Australia’s rural business landscape since 1839. With 180 years of experience, Elders provides services from finance and banking to real estate, wool, grain and livestock trading as well as agricultural inputs, rural merchandise and agronomic advice. Elders is always at the forefront of new technology that can help them, and Australia’s growers, improve their results. Implementing new agricultural technology is something that requires dedication throughout an organisation and Elders has been very active in getting everyone involved.
The Solution
Elders decided to implement Agworld across their branch network and give their agronomists access to the Agworld platform. They have also been able to get an increasing number of their clients to join them in collaborating on the same platform. By implementing Agworld, Elders have been able to guarantee continuity in their agronomy service provision, even when agronomists might relocate to other branches, due to the continuous availability of historical agronomic data for all agronomists. Elders’ grower clients now have access to this same data set created by their agronomists and are able to use this to create their own farm records, budgets and farm performance reports.

Greenhouse Intelligent Monitoring and Control Solution
Farming Orchids is the most successful form of precision farming in Taiwan, and also the most exported flower. Orchids need a specific temperature and humidity conditions to grow and bloom, and its flowering time may not be in line with market demands, so the price collapses when there is overproduction. Therefore, some farmers began to import automated greenhouse control systems for breeding and forcing, which not only improves quality, but also effectively controls the production period and yield to ensure revenue. In 2012, an orchid farmer built a Forcing Greenhouse of about 200 pings (approximately 661 Square Meters) in Tainan, Taiwan. The system integrator adopted Advantech’s APAX-5000 series programmable automation controllers to build the control platform, coupled with Advantech WebAccess HMI/SCADA software, to achieve cloud monitoring. The staff of the orchid field can monitor important data anytime via smart phone, iPad, and other handheld devices, and control the growth and flowering conditions. System requirements: In the past, most environmental control systems of orchid greenhouses in Taiwan used PLCs (Programmable Logic Controller) with poorscalability and control, and could not be connected to the Internet formonitoring from the cloud. For advanced database analysis and networking capability, the PC platform must be adopted. Therefore, PAC Systems (Programmable Automation Controller) with both PLC programming capabilities andPC functions is a better choice.The environmental control of the Orchid greenhouse switches on and off devices like fan, shade net, cooling/heat pump, liquid flow control, water-cooling wall etc. It is controlled by a control panel of electric controllers, and is driven by a motor, to adjust the greenhouse temperature, humidity, and other environmental conditions to the set parameters.

Precision beekeeping with wireless temperature monitoring
Honeybees are insects of large economic value and provide a vital service to agriculture by pollinating a variety of crops. In addition, bees provide us with valuable products such as honey, beeswax, propolis, bee venom, etc. Monitoring of honeybee colony health, population, productivity, and environmental conditions affecting the colony health have always been exceedingly difficult tasks in apiculture. Research has shown that even small deviations (by more than 2°C) from the optimal temperatures have a significant influence on the development of the brood and the health of adult bees.
