Do you need another fieldwork journal?

No. Traceability must use the facts of the responsible labour register and maintain their connections.

How do you include a mixed batch?

Maintain its conclusion record and links between all sources of origin. An unknown connection is marked as a gap.

When is it worth automating farm production traceability?

When a production is passed on to several buyers, a batch or document search requires a lot of manual work. A reliable connection with the field and the work done helps answer a specific buyer's request. For simpler operations, an orderly existing register may be sufficient.

What needs to be prepared on the farm for the traceability of production to be credible?

There is a need to consistently link the fields, the work done, the tools used and the resulting production batches. It is agreed who records the facts and checks the missing data. The information provided to the buyer is based on these records, so it is important to sort out the original accounting and clearly define the scope demanded by the buyer before automating the reports.

Crop production traceability system

A farm worker finds a production lot growing location, used tools and research. From these records, the information needed for a particular buyer can be prepared.

The use of products, waiting times, justification for integrated protection, buffer zones, soil and sustainability indicators are collected from the notes and technical systems. Administration takes a long time, the origin of the data is difficult to prove, and non-compliance is noticed too late.

How the solution works

Set the recipient's required scope
Linking the batch to the facts of cultivation and work
Check missing links and applicable conditions
Prepare and transmit revised information
Save the effect of correction on recipients

Key challenges

Plant protection and sustainability records are prepared manually

Solution capabilities

Origin of the batch

The harvest lot is indicated by the place and time of harvest. After mixing the produce, all fields or groups from which it was obtained are preserved.

Proof of use

The product, actual rate, area and time of the measure are sourced from a work source. A recommendation or purchase is not provided as a fact of consumption.

Applicable conditions

A version of the specific product and conditions of use are checked; approval of an active substance is not in itself an authorisation for any product for a particular crop.

Document Correction

The report specifies a version of its sources. Significant changes to the entry show affected batches and recipients.

Business context

Plant protection and sustainability records are prepared manually: The use of products, waiting times, justification for integrated protection, buffer zones, soil and sustainability indicators are collected from the notes and technical systems. Administration takes a long time, the origin of the data is difficult to prove, and non-compliance is noticed too late.
The origin of a specific production is given to the buyer: A collector or trading partner can request data on field work, tools used and research. A batch-linked story allows for the preparation of an appropriate presentation. It is easier for the farm to respond to the customer's requirements and to justify the characteristics of the proposed production.

Potential impact (%)

The ranges indicate an illustrative relative change in the metric under the stated assumptions. Results depend on the starting position and actual use of the solution. Percentages for different metrics must not be added together.

Time of collection of batch documents

16–42%Decreasing

This illustrative scenario assumes that 40-70% of information searches and repeated cross-checks can be addressed. That share is assumed to fall by 40-60%. Company data is needed to verify both the addressable workload and the resulting change.

Measure minutes for a selected batch request to respond from the primary facts.

Unrecoverable batch connection

5–25%Decreasing

This illustrative scenario assumes that 20-50% of missed actions can be identified through task and deadline tracking. That share is assumed to fall by 25-50%. Company data is needed to verify both the addressable share and the resulting change.

Count the batches checked with an unexplained link of origin or use.

Part of the output origin datasets accepted by the buyer

2–6%Increasing

Sample starting part - 70%. Assumption: 15-30% of the remaining cases relate to insufficient data on the origin of a specific batch of produce; the solution would help resolve 25-50% of these cases.

Accepted kits are divided by all sets submitted for comparable buyer checks. Buyer data acceptance is separated from the general product compliance confirmation.

Conditional calculation scenarios. The assumptions have not been validated against client measurements.

When this solution is relevant

Field and harvest data are collected anew when the purchaser submits the origin information of the batch.
When mixing or moving production, it is difficult to maintain a connection with its history of cultivation and harvesting.

Project scope and implementation

Traceability is based on fieldwork and output movement already recorded by the farm. If one register used allows reliable re-creation of the origin, no separate system is created. Integrations are required where the connection between these data breaks down.

Further expansion

Other buyer documents only after verifying their actual requirement and available sources.
