Description
...
Manual: In manual irrigation tasks, the details of the task are described when the task is created. The individual assigned to the task then uses these human provided details to do the task correctly. For example, a task might ask a farm worker to flood a field using a hand crank and to keep that gate open for 30 minutes. The assignee would do this work and then complete or abandon the task based on the outcomes.
Automated: In automated irrigation tasks, the details of the task are stored in a machine readable file type that is meant to be sent to an irrigation system that knows how to act on them. In this case, the individual assigned to the task is responsible for transmitting the file type to the irrigation system and ensuring the system executes on the task as expected. The assignee would then complete or abandon the task based on the outcomes they observed.
For S50 beginning October 17 2022, we are only focusing on manual irrigation tasks. Automated will come later.
