The document describes two passive approaches to filling bins with apples during harvest: a pneumatic self-adjusting apple distributor and an energy absorbing grate. The pneumatic distributor uses inflatable cylinders and a padded ramp to gently distribute apples into bins, but requires moving between bins. The energy absorbing grate uses rubber bands or foam balls on a rubber grate to absorb impact and distribute apples, performing better with singulated fruit. Field tests showed the prototypes worked better than expected but transport from trees remains a challenge.

Accurate GPS-free Positioning of Utility Vehicles for Specialty AgricultureComprehensive Automation for Specialty Crops
This document discusses developing GPS-free positioning for utility vehicles in specialty agriculture using wheel encoders, laser range scanners, and an extended Kalman filter localization algorithm. It aims to provide sub-meter positioning accuracy without relying on GPS due to signal occlusion from trees and structures. The experimental platform uses sensors to measure relative motion and range/bearing to known landmarks stored in a pre-built map. The localization filter estimates the vehicle's pose by predicting its position from previous readings and correcting it based on sensor measurements of landmarks. Initial tests achieved positioning errors close to the sub-meter accuracy goal.Automatic Monitoring of Insect Populations
The document summarizes research on developing an automated system called the Z-Trap to monitor insect populations as an alternative to current manual methods. The Z-Trap uses sensors and electronics to detect and count insects caught in the trap and wirelessly transmits the data, providing a more efficient way to monitor insect populations and help determine pesticide application needs. Field tests of prototype Z-Traps were conducted in 2011 at orchards in Washington and Pennsylvania to evaluate their effectiveness.

Specialty Crop Market Opportunity
The document discusses the market opportunity for specialty crop automation for mid-sized farms between 25-1000 acres. It notes that these mid-sized farms represent a larger opportunity than smaller farms due to scale, and larger farms due to already having custom automation. The hypothesis is that automating specialty crops for mid-sized farms could address an unmet need and solve business problems in a market with sufficient scale. Next steps proposed include testing this hypothesis, observing customers to identify opportunities, understanding the business model better, and developing prototypes.
Distributed Sensing in Horticultural Environments
George Kantor from Carnegie Mellon University presented on distributed sensing in horticultural environments. Sensor networks use self-contained nodes to wirelessly collect data like temperature and humidity from fields and relay it back to a central point. Robots can also map fields using laser scanning and cameras. While sensor networks have moderate spatial resolution but high temporal resolution with simple sensing, robots have high spatial resolution but lower temporal resolution with more sophisticated sensing. Both approaches can be combined, with sensor networks monitoring fields frequently and robots providing more detailed scans less often. The collected data can be used with models to automate irrigation scheduling based on predicted plant water usage.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

"Choosing proper type of scaling", Olena Syrota
Imagine an IoT processing system that is already quite mature and production-ready and for which client coverage is growing and scaling and performance aspects are life and death questions. The system has Redis, MongoDB, and stream processing based on ksqldb. In this talk, firstly, we will analyze scaling approaches and then select the proper ones for our system.

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.
