Research area
Information systems, knowledge management and data technology for agribusiness: ERP, blockchain traceability and IoT early warning.
Overview
Agro-Informatics connects the rest of our work to the people who use it: enterprise and knowledge systems for cooperatives and communities, an ERP for the plant factory, blockchain traceability for rice and IoT early warning for village industry.
Our approach
Every project starts in the field: we sense what is happening, model what it means, and turn the result into decisions farmers and operators can act on.
Why it matters
What we do
Center projects
2 projects from the center's research portfolio. Open a slide to see the system, the setup and the results.
A farmer-centred integrated database for a smallholder coffee cooperative, with a support-system pyramid from transactions to executive decisions, a cooperative dashboard and a knowledge-sharing architecture.
Turns data into knowledge through a knowledge taxonomy and knowledge-gap measurement, piloted on irrigation modernisation.
Student research
3 undergraduate theses supervised at the center, with their methods, key results and research framework.
Plant factory records were scattered across notes, spreadsheets and chat. A Google Sheets and Apps Script ERP with a central database links eight modules: activity, orders, customers, visits, visitors, human resources, financial summary and dashboard.
