NEW PRODUCTION MOBILE APP

The Production Mobile App can be used to register observations done during field inspections.

This includes options like:

• yield estimates;

• registration of weeds, diseases and off-types;

• verify plants against their parent line description;

• taking pictures to add to the inspection;

and more.

All of the observations still follow the production- and inspection protocols as specified in ABS Seed. The upload of information to ABS Seed is now done via a ‘connect’, the so called Field Activity Connect. All connects have easy and standardized error handling possibilities, making the upload of information more controlled.

The most important improvements of this new App as compared to the previous version are:

• Different database type, which has improved the performance;

• Improved down- and upload techniques for a better user experience;

• Modernized “look and feel” of the App;

• More efficiency in data entry, less clicks necessary;

• Integration with Google maps, allowing the user to draw the boundaries of the production field on the map, on the tablet. The coordinates of the field are captured automatically and uploaded later to ABS Seed.
