Agenda

• Sensor data visualization

• Pivot

• Irrigation prescriptions

Discussion points

• Sensor array data

  • Latest Reading:

    • Capture the most recent reading time from all sensors.

• Pivot

  • Form inputs:

    • Keep inputs minimal — name, rate, speed

    • Should we add "output format"?

    • Should confirm with Ensemble what data is required to generate irrigation prescriptions.

    • Retire "custom" pivots once we integrate with pivot manufacturers.

  • Benefits of integrating pivot manufacturers?

    • Potentially limited benefits but it would be interesting if we could mark the irrigation task as complete when the pivot finishes irrigating.

    • More reliable configuration data (eg. radius) compared to user inputs.

    • Accurate location

      • If a pivot is moved, the location must be updated.

  • Irrigation prescription

    • Users should specify the format (VRI/URI).

    • Should the irrigation recommendation be editable?

    • By approving the recommendation, the user is navigated to the task creation flow.

    • Where should "water allowance" belong? Farm settings?

    • Irrigation cycle

      • 1. When to trigger irrigation prescription generation?

      • 2. Upon approval, create both the prescription and corresponding irrigation task.

      • 3. Upon completing the task, adjust the water allowance.

    • How often do farmers want to update irrigation prescriptions?

    • Soil types (zones)

      • Requires further exploration.

      • Farm boundary etc. should be displayed on the map.

      • irrigation zones and soil zones don't match

      • This doesn't matter if recommendations aren't editable

      • Override recommendations seems simpler than devs imagined
