As the primary school year drew to a close, Equinix, the world's digital infrastructure company, hosted 4th class students from Scoil Ghráinne CNS in Phibblestown for a behind-the-scenes tour of Equinix's DB3 data centre in Dublin. Seventeen students, along with their teachers, met senior Equinix leaders to learn how data centres work and the impact that they have on the students' daily lives. The education day gave the children the opportunity to walk inside the 'physical internet' and discover its far-reaching impact on their own lives, businesses, healthcare and more. The class also learned about Equinix's commitment to net zero and biodiversity. Among the initiatives discussed was Equinix's participation in Digital Infrastructure Ireland's Orchards in the Community project, which plants orchards for schools and other community organisations to encourage pollination. The children also learned about Equinix's onsite beehives and bee habitats. During the visit, the class worked in teams to design collages based on what they imagined the physical internet looks like. Later, Equinix team members took the schoolchildren and their teachers into the heart of the DB3 data centre for an exclusive tour. Warren Delaney, Ireland Operations Director, Equinix, said: "At Equinix, we are committed to educating the communities around us about our role. For these young people, it is eye-opening to walk inside a data centre and imagine the parts of their daily lives that our industry makes possible. For some, it may even spark an interest in a career in technology. Having started my own career as an apprentice electrician, I know that there are many options and pathways into this industry via our apprenticeship and internship programmes in Ireland. It was fantastic to observe the students so engaged and eager to learn." See more stories here.

Johnsongrass can be a tough weed to control. Ryan Hill (UCCE Tehama, Shasta, Glenn) comes on the podcast to update us on the integrated year-round management of this perennial weed in orchards. UC ANR has great resources on distinguishing Johnsongrass and other young summer grass weeds. Johnsongrass identification photos can also be found on the podcast website. ANR also has a great guide to Johnsongrass biology and management. Connect with a local UCCE weed expert! UC ANR has recently expanded their weed science team across the state. Ryan Hill (UCCE Tehama, Shasta, Glenn), and Clebson Goncalves (UCCE Lake and Mendocino) are based in the north state. In the northern San Joaquin there is Giuliano Galdi (UCCE Merced, Stanislaus, San Joaquin). In the central and southern San Joaquin there is Jorge Angeles (UCCE Tulare, Fresno, Kings), and Mandeep Riar (UCCE Kern, Tulare, and Kings). These advisors work in concert with statewide Cooperative Extension Specialist Brad Hanson. Mention of a herbicide does not constitute a pesticide recommendation, merely the sharing of research results. Consult your PCA and read the pesticide label. The label is law.

The agricultural industry has long been at the forefront of technological innovation, continuously seeking ways to enhance productivity, efficiency, and sustainability. A significant development in this realm is the emergence of autonomous robots specifically designed for pesticide application in orchards. Jongwoo Ha from Hada explores the design, functionality, and potential impact of these robots across the world.The Need for Automation in AgricultureAgriculture remains one of the most labor-intensive sectors, often requiring repetitive tasks that can be physically demanding and time-consuming. Pesticide application is a prime example of such a task. Traditionally, farmers have relied on manual labor or machinery that requires human operation, exposing workers to health risks associated with chemical exposure. The need for a safer, more efficient solution is evident, and this is where autonomous robots come into play.Design and Functionality of the Autonomous Pesticide Spraying RobotThe autonomous pesticide spraying robot developed by Hada is designed specifically for use in orchards, targeting crops such as apples and oranges. Its design is both practical and innovative, resembling a small car in size, which allows it to navigate orchard rows effectively. The robot features a trunk-like structure equipped with spring nozzles that extend outward, mimicking the branches of a tree. This design enables the robot to spray pesticides at various heights, accommodating trees that can grow up to three meters tall, with the capability to reach up to five meters to account for wind dispersion.One of the standout features of Hada's robot is its ability to pivot the nozzles, allowing for precise application depending on the height of the trees. This adaptability not only enhances the effectiveness of pesticide delivery but also minimizes waste and environmental impact. The robot operates autonomously, utilizing advanced sensors and navigation systems to traverse the orchard without human intervention, thus reducing labor costs and mitigating health risks for workers.Production and Market PotentialAfter three years of development, Hada plans to launch the autonomous pesticide spraying robot by mid-2025. While the initial focus is on the Asian market, the company has expressed a willingness to explore opportunities globally. During the CES event, the team recognized the potential for their technology in regions like Africa, where the demand for autonomous agricultural solutions is growing. The signing of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with a partner from Togo highlights the company's commitment to expanding its reach and impact.The Broader Implications of Autonomous Agricultural RobotsHada's introduction of autonomous robots for pesticide application represents a significant shift in agricultural practices. By automating the spraying process, these robots not only improve efficiency but also address critical issues such as worker safety and environmental sustainability. The ability to apply pesticides precisely reduces chemical runoff and minimizes the ecological footprint of farming practices.Moreover, the potential for global distribution of these robots opens up new avenues for agricultural innovation in developing regions. As the company noted, autonomous agricultural robots do not recognize geographical boundaries; they can be adapted to various agricultural environments, making them a versatile solution for farmers worldwide.Conclusion: Automating Part of the Agricultural ProcessHada's development of autonomous robots for orchard pesticide application is a promising advancement in the agricultural sector. By addressing the challenges of labor-intensive pesticide application, these robots offer a safer, more efficient alternative that benefits both farmers and the environment. As the technology continues to evolve and expand into new markets, it holds the potential to revolutionize agricultural practices, ensuring a more sustainable future for food production globally. The journey of these robots, from conception to market launch, underscores the importance of innovation in tackling the pressing issues faced by modern agriculture.Interview by Scott Ertz of F5 Live: Refreshing Technology.Sponsored by: Get $5 to protect your credit card information online with Privacy.

Orchards are not fun at 3am. The rustling of the leaves feels no longer feels like a nice sunny, breezy day, it sounds like someone is hiding behind a tree somewhere watching you. Standing in the middle of an orchard is a group of high schoolers and young 20 something year olds just huddled in a circle.  “What did kim say about the—? “HURRY just start pouring it!”  They kick their shovels aside, start pouring the concrete into the hole, and watch as it covers first the hand, then the torso, and now the face.  The face of the 15-year-old girl that they held captive for a month and tortured.  When they're done, they head back to their cars with their shovels… And honestly? They think they did it; that they're getting away with it. But don't they know? History always repeats itself.  A very, very similar case took place 26 years ago in Japan: The case of Junko Furuta.  This episode is about a case that everyone in South Korea has been calling: The Korean Junko Furuta case.
