挑战
Grain Processing Corporation (GPC) 是美国领先的玉米产品制造商，它需要一种更智能、更高效的工具来捕获、跟踪、通知和报告每日清洁空气法案第五章合规性参数，用于众多排放源和排放点生产设施。 GPC 使用 SharePoint 在两个设施中输入 20 多个每日日志，并且必须在两班制的一天中解决每个日志和每个班次的多个问题。他们的系统没有报告或通知，并且系统中的表格之间没有一致性。 EHS 经理将花费数周时间搜索信息，以获得 GPC 年度 Title V 认证报告和其他报告需求所需的数据。

解决方案
为了简化和标准化数据收集和报告，GPC 选择了 Locus 的可配置平台软件解决方案。之所以选择 Locus Platform，是因为它能够快速配置以匹配跨运营设施的现有业务流程，并随着时间的推移轻松实施许可证记录保存要求的变化。 Locus 和 GPC 的一个专门项目团队确定了可以在 GPC 现有的内部“自制”系统中对 Locus 平台进行的改进，该系统无法满足苛刻、不断变化的环境合规报告的需求。协作团队制定了一套全面的要求，帮助快速跟踪项目以达到或超出 GPC 用户社区的期望的及时部署。在六个月内，新系统开始日常使用，随后很快被其余设施点采用。

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.
