Platform Components

EMS – Environment Monitoring Station

The most important resource of the farm is the land and the precise knowledge of current condition on the land is crucial both for operational efficiency and productivity. Some cases the global wheater reports and forecast not provide well detailed, localized data for sound decision making.

The EMS is an autonomous environmental monitoring station that can be placed on the fields for the simultaneous monitoring of a number of environmental parameters: 

  • Precipitation amount
  • Wind strength and wind direction
  • Leaf wetness
  • Temperature
  • Humidity
  • Soil moisture
  • Soil temperature
  • Global / UV radiation

EMS provides real-time and historical data that enables complex analyzes. With the help of the data, we can create agroecological models for each variety, recording the essential phenological phases, providing disease risk analysis models, and yield estimation models. 

Real-time and reliable data helps to organize cultivation. For example, it can be determined from a distance whether the conditions are suitable for the given task (soil moisture, wind conditions), and the expected effectiveness of the cultivation task can be determined (rain after spraying).

SmarTractor

The Pozi.tech SmarTractor solution is a modular device that provides versatile global positioning, consisting of a central unit and hardware extensions that can be installed on any agricultural machine.

The central unit determines the position of the machine with an accuracy of one meter based on global positioning systems. The data collected by the positioning and connected modules is transferred to the Cloud via 2G/3G/4G, LoRa or NarrowBand IoT connection as needed.

We can connect hardware modules providing different functions to the central unit, such as:

  • BLE-based automatic machine recognition: Identifies the machines attached to the tractor allows to determine the type of task currently being performed.
  • BLE-based automatic machine operator recognition: Automatically identifies the vehicle driver using a wearable BLE identifier.
  • Analogue fuel level meter connection: For any tractor, it can measure the current fuel level, generating an alarm if the fuel level suddenly drops.
  • CANBUS/ISOBUS adapter: If available, the data stored in the on-board computer can be read out and transferred to the Cloud using the extension.
  • RTK extension: Provides high-precision position information if needed.
  • Sprayer module: By installing flowmeters on the sprayer, we determine the amount of pesticide applied to the given area.
  • SmarTrace capability: For mixed indoor use

Using SmarTractor data, we provide complex information about the use of resources: 

  • Power machine and work machine utilization data
  • Calculation of cultivated area
  • Route display
  • Task execution data
  • Alarm when cultivating an unregistered area
  • Hours of operation, consumption and usage of spraying
  • Inspection of compliance with speed regulations related to different cultivation tasks or machines
  • Driver identification and access restriction
  • CANBUS/ISOBUS data display

The SmarTractor system is also suitable for tracking the power machines used on the site, for example in livestock areas.

SmarTrace

The SmarTrace solution ensures the tracking of presence and movement within the premises or sites, be it machines, people or even animals. From the SmarTrace product family, we primarily recommend our BLE-based solution, which can be used to track movement and presence within the premises with a simple BLE SmarTagg device. The solution can already be applied at the time of entry, and then we create commercially relevant information by dividing the site into sectors based on the required installation density. These may include: 

  • Time spent on work can be assigned to a location based on attendance
  • Full-time measurement based on attendance
  • Follow-up of on-site tasks for machines (Maintenance, tooling, purchase of fuel and other input materials, etc.)

 The BLE-based SmarTagg can work for several months on a single charge. 

SmarTagg GPS

In some branches of cultivation, such as fruit and vegetable growing or especially viticulture, manual work is still typical today. The tool for tracking green workers is SmarTagg GPS, which provides satellite tracking.

SmarTruck

The SmarTruck system is a solution that can be installed on forklifts and other on-site material handling devices, with the help of which the registration of grouped and individually identified goods can be automated. The system can be combined with an RFID reader, which can identify bulk goods with RFID tags placed on the fork during material handling and determine the storage location using the indoor positioning system. The solution is excellent for special agricultural plants, such as seed production, where it is necessary to be able to register completely identical product types and to serve orders from Big Bags. The system can also be made suitable for issuing input materials in block packaging.

Bridge scale integration:  The on-site weighbridge is involved in the application of input materials and the harvesting of crops. When integrated into the system, the basic data of the scale can be uploaded automatically. The system automatically identifies the engine and trailer driving the weighbridge. From the previous data, it can even be determined automatically that it is carrying out a delivery or delivery task, so it can be determined whether an empty or full weighing is taking place. The self-weight of the incoming or outgoing material can be automatically calculated and transferred. 

Fuel station integration: It is common for the farm to have its own fueling station. Automatic internal administration of this can be done with this integration
