Contribution to PLANTaR

Based on our knowledge in Precision Agriculture, Hansenhof is responsible for UseCase 3 – (large scale) precision arable farming. This includes developing and establishing the gateways to transfer the sensor data to the Odokus server system. The data will be stored and visualized, then processed to application tasks and exchanged with expert systems, FMIS and mobile devices on the field, always observing the compliance with existing standards.  It will be started with a non-biodegradable version of the sensor nodes for the first tests. In a later project phase, when the fully biodegradable sensor nodes are available, we will switch to use them. The 3 German (sub-)use cases in potatoes, brewing barley and liquid manure application in drinking water catchment areas are supervised by Hansenhof.
