Tracking and Aggregation System for AgroTech

A tracking and aggregation system for harvesting beans. It’s a digital transformation from an old approach to a modern system with location tracking, near real-time data source tracking, transaction management, logistics history, account management, data source aggregation, data traceability, weight, and quality verification of the harvested product. The product offers an automated and convenient way to capture, store, validate and use data.

Challenge

We needed to create a POC concept of the autonomous device for tracking data in the field. This involved designing and implementing a platform for automated data collection, storage, and validation. We were to implement accounts, transactions, and data management systems. For this, it was necessary to develop a mobile application with an easy-to-use design to reduce manual work and for tracking activities in the field. Also, the solution needed a gateway for data collection and a cloud platform for the back office system.

Solution

We have created a hardware device with the application for data collection about GPS location, farmer information, and harvest info. It was a mobile application for data collection, synchronization, and transaction processing. Also, we developed a Cloud platform for configuration management, data management, data tracking, transactions, logistics and contract management, product quality, and weight verification.

Technologies Used

To deliver an efficient and reliable solution for bean harvesting, our team used an advanced technology stack that is robust and ensures uninterrupted data flow from the field to the back office system. Our technology stack includes a range of hardware and software technologies that together ensure end-to-end data traceability, seamless data synchronization between devices, and secure data storage and retrieval.
