• Duncan: forward looking to the next epic. With the revamped scope sensors is going to be a quick module from the dev side. Are we in touch with a manufacturer already?

  • Loïc: no, we don’t even have the name of the manufacturer. We have gotten in touch with Farming Smarter but in order to avoid a repeat of the sensor situation, we need to talk to the tech team of a manufacturer ASAP

  • Anto: since it’s relating to the grant, Farming Smarter should know who these manufacturers are

  • There are 4 farms per year for 3 years in this grant. There COULD be as many as 4 manufacturers per year involved! (Worst case scenario)

  • Farming Smarter has given us general guidelines about how the pivots behave and how the irrigation subscription is communicated to the pivots (manually via USB transfer of the file; pivots should be considered as low-tech) – these points will all have to be checked though

  • Tentatively speaking we have some early assumptions about what e.g. the add flow looks like but these have to be checked as well – whole team consensus that we don’t want to repeat what happened with sensors

    • The constraints we encounted were not coming from necessarily the user experience, nor the technology, but what the partners were assuming; it is a partner communication issue

  • Loïc: We need less second hand discussion and getting all parties in the same room (Joyce: including Ensemble would be my preference when it comes to talking to the manufacturers, if we even have those conversations -- I don’t think the pivot manufacturers will be meeting with us if they aren’t grant partners)

  • Anto: the .vri file being downloaded and given to the pivot is enough for the sake of the grant (this needs to be verified though); there might not be any communication here at all

    • Duncan: We need to confirm if we are integrating with a pivot API at all – otherwise it’s manual entry into LiteFarm and a totally different situation

  • Action items moving into pivots:

    • Loic Sans to get the actual manufacturers from Farming Smarter

    • Confirm with Divya Chayanam the scope of the grant and whether talking to the pivot is part of the requirements or not. (Farming Smarter should know this as well) – need to confirm the end of the flow Anto Sgarlatta (in shared channel) and whether the .vri file is the end of our responsibility

    • ALSO need confirmation of the beginning of the flow (which requires the names of manufacturers) to know if they have read APIs (i.e. if it is a Ensemble situation or not when it comes to importing data about pivots in the app)

  • Dev and Design discussed array and sensor icons on the map – points have been added to Figma
