Farm Management Application- Successful Development Story

iCroft is a mobile app built for farmers. It is useful for measuring various external parameters of the farm including temperature, water actuation, ph for growing crops, etc.

Request for Consultation

Objectives

The client contacted us for developing a robust farm management app. The objective was to build an app that can fetch information from iCroft POD (hardware) and via MQTT broker. The client wanted to build a farming-related application capable of displaying various external parameters for the crop with the help of a backend server.

The iCroft application has two major interfaces-

End-user mobile application
Admin panel (Web-based)

The Challenges

Multiple charts on a single scale
Reactive data binding with Reactive swift
Heat map of the farm on the map
Multiple farms with multiple zone management
Fetch data from MQTT broker connection with Python code repo

Our Solution

We integrate the functionality of creating multiple charts on a single scale and a heat map feature. We also integrate multiple zone management functionality in the app for managing multiple farms together.
