关于客户
Cavaso Farming Partnership is a family-run farming operation located on the banks of the Murrumbidgee river at Darlington Point in the Riverina district of western New South Wales, Australia. The Toscan family, which runs the partnership, grows a variety of crops on their 4200-hectare enterprise. They have 170 hectares of prunes planted and use the rest for growing row crops. In an average year, they grow 1200 hectares of irrigated cotton, 100 hectares of irrigated maize, 1200 hectares of irrigated durum, and a few other smaller crops. The farm features siphon as well as bankless irrigation and employs minimum till and controlled traffic approaches wherever possible. The Toscan family was named the Monsanto cotton grower of the year in 2017 for their impressive yields and their Integrated Pest Management strategy.
挑战
Cavaso Farming Partnership, a family-run farming operation in Australia, needed a simple and efficient way to create records of the spraying operations that take place in each individual crop and field. This was particularly important for their prune crops, which are subject to food certification requirements. They needed to be able to supply accurate records of exactly what inputs have been applied at any given time during the season. The family was looking to digitize and simplify their record-keeping process, which was previously done through hand-written books and piecing together various data.
解决方案
The Toscan family adopted Agworld, a cloud-based platform for their in-field record keeping. Their agronomist, Allan Jones with Agronomic Business Solutions (ABS), was already using Agworld for his planning and recommendations. By using Agworld, the Toscan family was able to utilize the data already entered by their agronomist, saving a lot of time. They now have an accurate set of records available of all inputs applied during the season, which they can utilize for a number of different purposes. The employees of Cavaso Farming are also given access to Agworld, allowing them to see what has been done in each field and what they have to look out for. They are also able to enter information or convert recommendations to actuals within Agworld.

Intelligent Farming with ThingWorx Analytics
Z Farms was facing three challenges: costly irrigation systems with water as a limited resource, narrow optimal ranges of soil moisture for growth with difficult maintenance and farm operators could not simply turn on irrigation systems like a faucet.

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.
