Efficient data management on the farm: Automatic reports

Efficient data management on the farm: Automatic reports

The prerequisite for a successful farm is the combination of precision farming solutions, smart machines and inventories, and agronomic advice and recommendations.

But the key to managing a farm more efficiently and achieving high profitability from the operation of all components is the data obtained from the field, from each single machine or event.

All the information generated serves to make timely informed decisions for follow-up actions and more efficient process management throughout the farm.

However, many farmers face difficulties both in data collection itself and in their analysis and reporting.

In the series Efficient data management on the farmwe will reveal working solutions in the field of easy and quick analysis of all the necessary information for a more profitable farm.

A modern farm must have accurate data from the machines it has and operates.

All information related to the treatments carried out and fuel consumed, with the tracking of the working process and condition of agricultural machinery must be precisely collected, but also analyzed in detail.

Very often, this flow of information can be confusing and unclear to farmers. For greater convenience, web-based farm machine tracking platforms such as FarmTrack offer opportunities for easier analysis and quick reports.

Users of FarmTrack Tracking Systemcan achieve full automation to track and analyze the information coming from their machines.

WITH FarmTrack , farmers can receive an automatic report directly in their mail with the most important information for them about a particular machine.

What does the FarmTrack automatic report contain?

Everything that is generated as information by a specific machine can be added in one or several templates. For convenience, the system offers several ready-made templates containing much of the information available on the platform. According to the needs of each user, can choose to obtain statistics for:

• Routes
• Kilometres travelled — start and end kilometre
• Maximum speed
• Spent fuel
• Fuel missing/theft
• Charged fuel
• Motor hours
• Service/Upcoming Service

• Parking lots

What are the advantages of automatic reports?

As mentioned, the information generated on a farm can be large in volume and confusing. By receiving such an automatic report from the FarmTrack system, farmers save time and distribute their tasks more efficiently during the day. Generated and sent regularly, such a report eliminates the possibility of gaps in process monitoring.

This, in turn, leads to better control and localization of possible abuses or omissions in the operation of a machine.

The long-term benefits of such a regular report and its analysis are optimization of costs/for fuel, depreciation, etc./ and the correct operation of all equipment in the machine park.

How do I get an automatic report from the FarmTrack system?

This option is valid for all customers of FarmTrack.They can take advantage of this easy and quick way to get information by contacting the NIK team and stating that they wish to receive a report by email.
