OpenEye Helps Rural Business Access Cameras Remotely
Elite Pak is an international business with asparagus farms and packaging plants in both the United States and Canada. They are one of the largest growers and packers of asparagus in Ontario, Canada, and their automated asparagus bunching machine leads the way in innovative ideas for the asparagus industry. Their mechanized processing allows Elite Pak to efficiently sort, bunch and package asparagus spears, making them ready for sale in supermarkets across North America.
The Elite Pak operations in Ontario are located in a rural agricultural area that has limited internet infrastructure. The internet options offered by the local ISPs are restricted to mobile LTE or wireless and satellite networks. These options restrict port forwarding and make it impossible to get a static IP. The growing season starts earlier in the United States and overlaps with the growing season in Canada. Elite Pak employees need to monitor Canadian operations when they start up each year to monitor food production, ensure quality, and maintain efficient operations.
