Flood Monitoring Device
Custom made device for flood monitoring and alerting system. The whole project is done from idea to final product within one month. The device is battery powered and equipped with different sensors. Communication with the central server is done through SigFox radio. After all the features are developed, the device is power-optimized.
Smart Sun
The SmartSun device is a wearable, battery-powered device equipped with UV and other sensors. Its main purpose is to alert a user when the UV radiation level is dangerous for the user's skin. The device is done from the stretch, from the client's idea. Also, a demo Android app for Bluetooth communication is done by the Eternax team.
Greensi- Vertical Farming Solution
The whole solution for an indoor vertical farm is done by the Eternax team. The sensors network for temperature, humidity, and other ambient parameters are developed. All the sensors are connected to the cloud management platform over wifi. The client can control each device separately and remotely (growing lights, airflow, dehumidifier, temperature, etc).
Universal 4G Controller
Eternax team developed firmware support for 4G communication with a web server on customer's hardware. For testing purposes, a custom Python web server was also developed by the team.
3D hologram- reverse engineering
The eternax team did reverse engineering of a 3D fan hologram device. The goal of the project was to determine what LED drivers and the rest of the circuitry are used in the device so the customer can recreate the device. Full control over LEDs and other functions were achieved.
Smart Selective Sprinkler system
The goal of the project was to create a solution for selective corn sprinklers. The Eternax team provided solutions for the customer's problem and made custom hardware and software solutions. Part of the solution are Smart Selective Sprinkler units. The units control single sprinkler and are controlled via the developed Main Control Unit (also described in our portfolio).
Stress management bracelet/watch
The purpose of the device is to measure and manage stress. The device is developed by the Eternax team from the idea to the final product including testing and initial measuring. Pulse-oximeter, vibration actuator, galvanic skin response, and other sensors are used. The device is battery-powered and wearable so a special coding approach is used to make the device ultra-low powered. The team also developed a demo Android app for Bluetooth communication with the bracelet.
Smart Tractor Sprinklers MCU
The goal of the project was to create a solution for selective corn sprinkler. The Eternax team provided solution for customer's problem and made custom hardware and software solutions. Part of the solution is Main Control Unit which communicates with a central server and has control over Selective Sprinkler Units (also described in our portfolio).

Please describe your company and your position there.
We are Greensi startup and we are developing new technologies and solutions for indoor vertical farming and Eternax team has developed farm management platform. I'm currently working as a quality manager.
For what projects/services did your company hire Eternax, and what were your goals?
Our goal was clear, we wanted to create self-sustained and self-controlled indoor vertical farming but we didn't have all the knowledge and that is where Eternax team really step up as they developed whole system from ground up.
How did you select Eternax and what were the deciding factors?
Problem was resolved by applying sensors ( humidity, temperature and air flow and air quality sensors). Their gateway collects all the data from the sensors and store them into a cloud based management platform where we can control and monitor each parameter for the healthy grow of our plats.
Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.
It was a broad scope project involving: solution investigation, detailed technologies specification, sensor development and central unit development and platform development. Technologies used in this project were C, C++, Python, JavaScript, KiCad, Bluetooth and Wifi.
How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?
Eternax CEO Jurica worked on development of the program solutions and he was bias between our company and Eternax.
Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?
Since the implementation of Eternax solution we improved quality insurance- there is a 100% certainty that the whole crop will be perfectly healthy and usable, also we reduced reduced labour cost by almost 80%.
Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timelines.
We were able to communicate not only as business partners regarding scheduling and meetings but we were able to talk about the technical specifications of the project. It was easy to meet deadlines this way and communicate solutions without third parties interference.
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
Their ability to develop custom solutions from scratch even in the narrow time period was impressive.
Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?
Even though we are not startup with technical backgrounds we were still able to understand and follow the project steps as they took extra care to inform us about implemented solutions even when it was time-consuming. Everything was on a high level.
The custom solution that Eternax provided improved the quality of the startup's plants. Labor costs also decreased by 80%. There was smooth communication between the company and the team. Overall, the project was a success and the client was highly impressed.
