the challenge• fruit volume increased• grower base increased• data analysis became more
critical– difficult growing seasons led to
smaller margins– real-time information required to
make quick decisions
the solution• single point of control• streamline data collection• mechanical operation
solution development• real-time data• flexible and intuitive UI• easily expandable / modular• mobile
version 1: apple line• data collection from three scales• automated bin creation and ticket
printing• arduino button to trigger timer API• data integration with ERP
an Ard-a-what?Arduino is an open-source microcontroller capable of acting as a webclient or web server.
why use that?• allows for physical sensors/buttons
• inexpensive
• expandable/modular
• extensive documentation
how easy is it?Arduino accesses web-page
Web-page triggers API
Note: This system resides on an internal, secure network.
This API is a WCF serviceusing basic HTTP binding
the GUI
version 2: cherry lines• triggers machinery to start and stop• automation and visual queues• automated bin creation and ticket printing• live production dashboard• data integrates with ERP
system overview
the same easy coding
next steps• integrate with additional systems
– sizing machines– box fillers
