Abstract

Note: some parts of the abstract have been censored to hide company secrets.

This project was performed for Orchid N.V., an innovator in agriculture. The project focuses on their Scalar system. This is a system that consists out of multiple machines that automatically feed cows. While farmers are generally pleased with these systems, ---- -- --- ---- - --- -- ------- -- --- ----------- -- --- ------. --- ------ ---- ------- - --- -- --- ----- --- ----- -- -- -------- ---- ----- ---- ---- -- -- -------------- --- -- --- ------. ---- ------- ----- -- ----- ---- ----- -- ---------- - -------- -------- ----- ------- ------- -- ---- ------- ---- ----- -------- ---- ---- ---- --- ------ -------- --- -------- --- ----------.

A daily report about the performance of the systems on the farm was the initial assignment for the project. The project started with a two week research phase in which the assignment was further investigated by visiting testfarms and conducting interviews with farmers and Orchid employees. --- ----- --------- --- -- -- ---- -- ---------- ------ -- ------- --- ------- -- -------- -- ---- ------- ------- ---- ----- -------. ----- ---- --- --------- farmers had to be informed about potential problems on their farm.

After the research phase, three development cycles were executed. At the end of each design cycle, a new version of the product was reviewed within Orchid and at a testfarm. The final product consists out of a cloud solution that processes logs to generate data and a web application dashboard, which visualizes this data. The web application dashboard shows an overview of the performance of the Scalar system on the farm and a list of points of attention, with interesting findings within the data. These could be potential problems. The reactions from Orchid and the farm were very positive. During the process there were not many problems and the project can be considered a success. -------------- --- --- ---- -- --- ----- -- --------- --- ------------ --------- --- ---- --- --------- ----------- --- --- -------- --------- ------- ----------- --- ------------ -- --------- --- -- --------. The project was finalized with a final presentation at Orchid and a final presentation at TUDelft.
