The Agriculture Office System
IF
YOU ARE CONSIDERING THE INSTALLATION OF A COMPUTERIZED AGRICULTURE OFFICE
SYSTEM IN YOUR MILL, CONTACT US TO SEE HOW WE CAN HELP YOU.
THE
PROGRAM IS AVAILABLE IN SPANISH.
The Agriculture System is a program designed to
manage, control, and inform on the Harvesting and Production stages of the
sugarcane crop.
It is the system that links everything together, from the Scale House, the Laboratory, and the
Dumpers to the Growers, Farms, and Cane Fields.
This is the tool used to calculate the monies to
pay the growers, based on predefined business rules.
The Agriculture System can also handle
“Toll Cane”: canes ground in this mill, usually belonging to a
different mill, whose production (normal sucrose, trash, sugar production), is
processed separately from those of this mill.
Farms could also form groups. A grower could have a group of farms that are treated as a unit.
A farm or group of farms can be classified also under Toll Cane. The Cane Fields:
The Cane Field is the basic unit of the Agriculture System. The system collects two types of data for the cane fields:
2. Production Data The Agriculture Data includes acres, cane variety,
cane classification (age), a production estimate (Estimated tonnage per acre or
yield), chemical treatment (if any), date planted, number of rows and their
measure, and location, and its plant history (what was planted on the field
before it was replanted with cane).
The database also includes soil and legal name, which are not used in the present application but could be incorporated. The Cane Field is identified by an index, together with a name.
The production data can be automatically collected
from the Scale Database (if you have the Cane Scale Program) and from the Lab
Samples Database (if you have the Lab Samples Program installed in your
system); otherwise, you can manually enter that information.
If you have the Cane Scale Program:
The Agriculture System offers the functionality to
edit the Truck Loads table produced at the Scale House Computer directly where
it resides. The Agriculture System operator has the ability to check the truck
loads table for errors, run procedures to check for errors, and produce
reports, even after the Scale House finished its daily operations and closed
the crop day.
After all corrections are made, the program operator clicks the Transfer button and the tables are transferred from the Scale House Computer to the Agriculture System Computer. If you have the Lab Samples Program:
The Agriculture System offers the functionality to
edit the Samples table produced at the Laboratory Computer directly where it
resides. The Agriculture System operator has the ability to check the samples
table for errors, run procedures to check for errors, and produce reports, even
after the Laboratory finished its daily operations and closed the
After all corrections are made, the program operator clicks the Transfer button and the tables are transferred from the Lab Samples Computer to the Agriculture System Computer. THE MERGING PROCESS:The Merging process is the procedure to transfer
the scale and/or the lab samples data to the Cane Fields table in the
Agriculture Database. It groups
the Truck Loads table from the scale and the Lab Samples table from the
laboratory by Cane Field, computing total loads, gross cane weight, average
brix, sucrose, purity, normal brix, normal sucrose, normal purity, etc. You can perform the merging from the Scale even if you do not have the Lab Samples installed, but you cannot perform it if you do not have the Scale Program. The Lab Samples database presently does not include the Cane Field. The Merge is performed after the Scale (and the Lab
if available) close for the day. The Cane Varieties: |
