About The Customer
União Fazendas is a real estate app that specializes in selling farms in Brazil. The app was built for Anderson Serodio, a client based in Brazil. The app serves both sellers and buyers of farms. Sellers can advertise their farms for free, providing detailed information and media about the farm's characteristics. Buyers, on the other hand, can search for farms based on various specifications and request contact for the ones they are interested in. The app also provides a dashboard for administrators to manage and approve advertised farms and handle contact requests.
The Challenge
União Fazendas, a real estate app specializing in selling farms in Brazil, was faced with the challenge of efficiently connecting sellers and buyers. The traditional process of buying and selling farms was time-consuming and lacked a centralized platform where sellers could advertise their farms and buyers could easily search for farms based on their specific needs. The client, Anderson Serodio, wanted a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) within a short timeframe. The challenge was to create a user-friendly platform that could handle a variety of specifications and provide a seamless experience for both buyers and sellers.
The Solution
Welby G Stehling Andreatta, an experienced software and web developer, built União Fazendas using Bubble, a no-code platform. This enabled him to quickly develop a fully functional MVP. The app allows sellers to publish and advertise their farms for free, while buyers can search for farms using a variety of specifications. Each farm listing leads to a detailed page where users can request contact if interested. Sellers can also upload photos, videos, and other documents, and manage their contact info and advertised farms through a dashboard. The app administrators can view, approve, and edit every advertised farm, access all user data, and manage contact requests. The use of Bubble's no-code platform allowed for rapid development and deployment of the app, meeting the client's need for a quick turnaround.

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.
