挑战
Bartle Frere Bananas 是澳大利亚远北昆士兰州的一个中型、多代农场,其使命是改善澳大利亚园艺行业的环境成果和生产力。该农场为小型市场和大型杂货连锁店供货,但面临着极端天气系统、洪水和运营成本上升等挑战。业主加文·德瓦尼 (Gavin Devaney) 致力于负责任和可持续的农业,这意味着在成为土地的好管家的同时,平衡施肥、灌溉和生产力。该农场希望从整个运营过程中收集数据并生成见解,为最佳管理实践、生产力、法规遵从性和可持续性提供信息。 Devaney 希望证明他的运营遵循了农业行业的最佳管理实践,并证明 Bartle Frere Bananas 的香蕉是以更具创新性和可持续性的方式精心种植的。
关于客户
Bartle Frere Bananas 是一家中型、多代经营的农场,位于澳大利亚昆士兰州远北地区。该农场向小型市场和主要杂货连锁店供货。其所有者 Gavin Devaney 因其采用最佳管理实践和创新技术解决方案而获得未来农业奖。 Devaney 致力于负责任和可持续的农业,平衡施肥、灌溉和生产力,同时成为土地的好管家。他是数据驱动可持续智能农业项目的一部分,该项目旨在改善澳大利亚园艺部门的环境成果和生产力。 Devaney 的最终愿景是通过对每一串 Bartle Frere 香蕉从围场、供应链到市场的整个过程保持透明,从而获得市场和消费者的信心。
解决方案
Hitachi Vantara 与 Bartle Frere Bananas 和 Applied Horticulture Research 合作开发智能农业解决方案。该解决方案涉及实时灌溉数据、土壤湿度、在线硝酸盐浸出数据以及天气监测和预报的关联,为园艺最佳实践提供信息。它需要定制软件开发和专为园艺用例设计的 Hitachi Lumada Manufacturing Insights 配置。该实施需要集成来自数十个来源的传感器数据,包括气象站、与云平台的连接、数据管理、高级数据分析以及可行见解的呈现。 Hitachi Vantara 提供整体解决方案设计、传感器和其他技术的采购以及实施,包括数据捕获、边缘计算、传感器和跟踪器、高级分析和输出接口。所有这些数据均通过农场办公室的 Hitachi Vantara Control Tower 解决方案用户界面以数据、警报和规范性见解的形式进行分析和直观呈现,为日常管理决策和长期规划提供信息。

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.

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.
