Abstract

The introduction of a digital platform for practical use at an agro-industrial enterprise is of great practical importance for the development of precision farming. Modern digital information systems are an integral part of precision farming and, in many ways, their foundation. During the work on the Farm Management Information Systems (FMIS) project, software and methodological framework for the use of precision farming techniques and information technologies for managing the process of growing crops in the field was developed. The introduction of a digital platform was carried out as an important experiment. Research methods such as bibliographic analysis and statistical processing were used. This study used modelling and statistical estimation of parameters. The findings were used to estimate the volume of transactions. In addition, during the experiment, communication schemes were worked out. The channel for receiving and transmitting information was tested, along with the channel-forming equipment (routers, switches, gateways) and the basic settings. The study checked the integration of the platform with external systems. A test was carried out for the passage of digital signals to the platform, including various electronic forms and reports. The recommendation for the policy planner is to ensure the required accuracy of the results. The practical value of our findings is that the electronic recording and preservation of the history of fieldwork and crops can help agro-industry workers in preparing special reports on the production cycle.
