The main innovative aspect lies in interconnection of the main data product line as the cornerstone of a farm software ecosystem and its interaction and interoperability with the use cases. Each use case will develop its own Applications (Apps) incorporating the different data inputs, such as real time meteo data, soil moisture content, tractor fuel consumption, yield data, spectral signatures, as well as manually entered data. The developed Apps in the use cases will be interconnected to the main software product line and it will have the capabilities of being expandable and configurable for various sensor types and data entries.
This is a industry driven project, which is the selling point for this project. Three companies (AVR (coordinator), GEOSYS and Lincoln Agritech ) are eager to develop commercial solutions to market and sell the developed products.

In November 2018, AVR was awarded with the ICT Digital Project of the Year by the Flemish magazine Data News. The winning project has been developed in the framework of this ICT-AGRI project and is funded in Flanders by the Flemish funding agency VLAIO, and implements sensing technology on the AVR machinery to gather field data, e.g., about the soil or potato size. The project has an economic impact in terms of reduction of production cost and crop yield improvement. Additionally, the potential decrease in inputs and fuel consumption will have a positive environmental impact. The access to relevant data and the adoption of digital technologies by farmers poses an additional knowledge-sharing impact for the agriculture community.
