挑战
Berry Gardens, a co-operative of British berry growers, was facing challenges in its reporting system. Traditional avenues of reporting, such as through line managers or HR representatives, or via suggestion boxes, were not providing the level of confidentiality and security required. Some employees felt uncomfortable reporting face-to-face, while the anonymity of suggestion boxes could not be guaranteed. The senior leadership team was looking for ways to improve the current processes and culture, focusing on enabling and encouraging confidential reporting to help maintain and improve the company's high ethical standards.
解决方案
Berry Gardens decided to implement a confidential, multi-channel reporting system to enable employees to speak up about sensitive matters in confidence. NAVEX’s EthicsPoint Incident Management solution was recommended as a comprehensive and cost-effective option to support the organization’s multi-lingual workforce and provide the reporting capabilities needed to satisfy stakeholders. The organization provides induction and annual refresher training on whistleblowing to ensure employees understand how to make a report and what to expect when they do. Regular reminders are also key, so Berry Gardens ensures there are visual cues placed around the workplace, using posters and on-screen displays. The senior leadership team continues to communicate directly with employees about the program and make regular requests for people to report any suspected issues.

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.
