The Challenge

Technology to support vessels in the commercial fishing industry had not changed significantly since the advent of radar. Over the past 40 years commercial fishing in the United States has continued to be one of the most active, yet regulated industries. The combination of federal regulations and lack of technology created an opportunity for Faria Watchdog to go-to-market with a solution.

The Solution

Faria Watchdog decided to leverage their expertise in the marine gauge market and offer a product that would revolutionize Vessel Management Systems (VMS). Combining our Platform and Faria's custom hardware, together we produced a product that offered the following: Real time compliance for fisherman, conforming to National Marine Fisheries (NOAA NMFS) standards Automated at sea catch reporting to reduce the need for old “paper and personnel” based gathering 2-way communication between fleet owners and their captains Full forensic support to assist in the event of an accident or when compliance is questioned

Operational Impact

[Efficiency Improvement - Compliance]
Provides both fleet owners and agencies real time information about compliance
[Efficiency Improvement - Operation]
Driven out cost while improving operational efficiencies and margins

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.
