This document discusses a project to improve interoperability between farm machines from different manufacturers. It aims to develop common communication standards to allow efficient data sharing. This would help address the current problem that farmers face with a lack of compatibility between different farming equipment. The project would develop technologies like an IoFieldGateway for seamless data transmission and APIs to enable real-time interoperable communication. This is expected to provide benefits such as optimized farm operations, new data-driven services, and opportunities for new business models in precision agriculture.

This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement №731884 One of the problems that farmers face is the lack of interoperability of farming equipment due to different digital standards. Major Challenge Use case 1.4: Product Factsheet Multi-vendor ADAPT Plugins - Off-line interoperability. 1st version of proprietary format ADAPT Plugin, followed by 1st version of ISOXML format ADAPT Plugin Core Product Features IoFieldGateway A digital gateway for seamless data transmission between field machinery and FMIS for supporting cross-over pilot machine communication and prescription farming Interoperable communication standards for farm machines to unlock the potential of production automation • Enabling cross-vendor communication and automation • Guarantees communication security • Enables development of automation services based on IoT data • Faster IoT uptake Cloud API - Interoperability in real time communication. Implementation of the EFDI standard being developed by Automation Communication - Bi-directional interoperable communication of data and field tasks Farm Machine Interoperability Here is what we aim to improve Customer & Provider FMIS & Service Providers Price per Data volume or communication Joint Service Company of Farm Machine Manufacturers

This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement №731884 Use case 1.4: Competitive Business Models Farm Machine Interoperability Tractor works on the field and collects data Data can be shared with third parties, to receive services like weather, crop, N optimisation, etc.. Data is sent to a back-end platform Data is available through a telematics portal Need to make the investment in standards Will develop new business Needs to be standardised Most popular business models: - Subscription paid by farmer - Data sharing platform included in price of machine - Farmer sells the data, gets service for free - Software companies pay the machinery manufacturer for data Will benefit

This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement №731884 Here is the difference Product User Story: Farmers Without our Product or Service With our Product or Service Inefficient data transfer Currently data is predominantly transferred manually between machinery and FMIS. Effortless data transfer Seamless data transfer by a common application programming interface and data modelling. Target User – Medium to large size farms (100 – ha) Hands free data collection: the means to collect data from various sources without manual interference. Field work decisions made on information from previous years A potential risk of under/over estimation of field work resources Proprietary data formats and hardware Currently too many problems of sharing data between machinery brands and FMIS Access to data in real time A dashboard for monitoring farm activities in real time based on data from vehicles and other data sources Novel possibilities to combine data from vehicles and other data sources to optimise the next agronomic production cycle and fulfill compliance regulations Improved field work efficiency, executional optimization and precision due to the elimination of information latency. Data from different machinery brands at one place Machines connects to any FMIS of user’s choice Farm Machine Interoperability

This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement №731884 Here is the difference Product User Story: FMIS Providers Without our Product or Service With our Product or Service Limited offer for online data transfer Currently data is shared in real time, if the FMISs and Machine-Platforms have a common API, otherwise the transfer is only manual. Increase of online data transfer By optimizing and harmonizing APIs among actors, a wider range of data transfer possibilities can be offered without the use of external media, fast and secure for the farmer Target User – Farm Management Information System Providers Online data transfer means: collect data, make them available for the farmer as soon as possible and avoid gaps in order to analyze the data and obtain value from them. Decision Support on the field could be inconsistent Without adequate synchronization of data the FMIS’s functionality can lose credibility and reliability Large set of proprietary data formats and hardware Endless Implementation with high costs in order to provide an appropriate range of brand freedom Real Time Decision Support A harmonized sync of data from machine telemetry and sensors in the field with FMISs enables real-time analysis faced of unexpected changes. Reducing the latency period in data transmission between FMIS and Machines, Farmers can profit of a “just in time” decision support during task performance, capture new master data or detect gaps in the data. Farmer’s data sources work together Regardless of the farmer’s machine choice, FMISs can use a single service to convert different formats and present them to the farmer Saving time and effort to convert different formats and models lets FMISs redirects some of the development capability to improve analysis and support tools without compromising the interoperability of the systems.
