<h1>Purpose for travel:</h1>
<p>Attend Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) workshop in Perth to contribute to the workshop outcomes, develop networks and discussed potential future project collaborations. In addition I presented examples of PDA's used for agricultural research within DPI&F and provide input and technical advice to advance the use of PDAs in the CRC.</p>
<h1>How this trip advanced/benefited the applicant's career:</h1>
<p>By presenting previous applications of PDAs, the other workshop participants gained a better understanding of my technical knowledge and professional capacity for future potential involvement in CRC projects. </p>
<p>Through project discussions and interactions I developed networks and discussed potential project collaborations with CRC personnel.</p>
<h1>The outcomes/benefits for the Australian plant biosecurity system:</h1>
<p>A good understanding of the requirements of PDAs within the CRC, for example:</p>
<ul>
<li>expert systems for pest identification</li>
<li>GPS location, guidance and vehicle tracking</li>
<li>automatic data entry and wireless monitoring e.g. use of Bluetooth, barcodes etc.</li>
<li>form/database with minimal key strokes for data entry.</li>
<li>a mobile platform to rapidly aquire field data.</li>
<li>develop a bigger PDA Plant Biosecurity project</li>
</ul>
<h1>Analysis of likely opportunities/long-term collaborations for the CRCNPB:</h1>
<p>Presentation by Ernestos Kostas highlighted issues with monitoring and reporting (in particular phosphine level monitoring over time), travel costs etc. </p>
<p>Antonio Robles talked of Smart traps and trapping grids and utilising embedded systems.</p>
<p>Greg Hopkins reiterated Ernestos's concerns and also spoke of grain inspection and sampling procedures.</p>
<p>We discussed my current MLA funded project on Remote Management Technologies and the possibility of remote monitoring of phosphine levels using a telemetry system. We are considering a project proposal for remote monitoring and to develop and test a system to automate Greg's current grain monitoring procedures e.g. insects, temperature and moisture for grain silos. </p>
