INV-06 · Ag-robot fleet logbook

Prototype

Season logbook for agricultural robot fleets: interventions, field reports and compliance records across machines from different manufacturers.

OpenField season report preview: block-by-week pass grid and report figures such as hectares completed and passes on time, each tagged with its data source. (open full-size screenshot)

Problem

Dealers who service farm robots from many brands have no common record of what each machine did, where it failed and what the grower must report.

Solution

A two-tap field logbook for technicians, offline-first, that turns daily records into season reports and pre-filled compliance forms.

Technology

Python 3.12 + FastAPI · SQLite · Offline-first PWA with on-device queue · Exports: CanadaGAP H1, OMAFRA spray record, Transport Canada RPAS logs, AgExpert · 1,000+ automated tests

Where it stands

Lab prototype tested on demo and simulated data. No manufacturer integration yet; field validation is planned for the 2027 growing season.

Looking for

Ontario dealers and growers running robots from more than one manufacturer, for field validation in the 2027 season.
