Farm Machine Interop
Farm Machine Interop
Farm Machine Interoperability is an application developed under the Internet of Food and Farm 2020 (IoF2020) project, funded through Horizon 2020. It strives to facilitate efficient machine-to-machine communication and data sharing between farm equipment and management information systems. Moreover, its design will stimulate future developments in agricultural machinery communication. In particular, it will enable further progress in communication standards between vehicles and platform for seamless data transfer, and for cross-communication between various models and brands of farming machinery.
In this sense, Farm Machine Interoperability contributes to the development of precision agriculture, by making information transfer easier and by helping farmers to access more data services and ultimately harness their potential. Furthermore, this smart application contributes to the overall sustainability of farming activity, since the improved use of machinery decreases energy consumption and enables the more efficient use of resources.
More specifically, Farm Machine Interoperability aims to implement real-time communications between farming management information systems (FMIS) cloud solutions and equipment manufacturers, test harvest logistics applications compliant with interoperable solutions, and share technical solutions with the standards development organisations for agricultural machinery.
The platform works by applying communication standards, such as ADAPT and NGSI-LD, for effective offline and cloud communication between farm and machine, and vice versa. Unified data models facilitate easy data transfer and conversion. Service providers can add value to data based on a single API.
