SmartFarm
An app prototype designed as a solution for challenge 2 of Digital Fields Hack, an hackathon competition held on 27 and 28 October 2018 in Bologna (Italy). For further information about this event, refer to Hackathon Infos folder.
Challenge 2
As participants involved in the second challenge, we needed to improve and enhance user-experience following these criteria:
- Ease of use and fast comprehension of in-app data, taken from field sensors
- Possibility to further analyze field data, visualizing correlation between them and trends
- Graphic restyling to help user associate physical characteristics of crop and fruits with data
Solution
Our solution is a prototype of an app with the Justinmind prototyping software. It's composed by:
- Splash: a simple splash screen for app loading
- Home: the main screen. It's composed by many components:
- Drawer menu: classic hamburger-like menu. It allows to reach to the home screen, to the fields screen ("Campi"), to the requests screen("Richieste") and to the data screen ("Storico")
- Notifications: an hamburger-like menu to display important messages like a sensor fault or new data calculated for one of the fields
- Map: a satellite map displaying fields linked to the account of the farmer logged in the app. They are divised and singularly clickable, to obtain specific insights based on the selected field
- Infos: buttons visualized on the upper right of the screen, reporting fundamental field data for an immediate visualization
- Tab bar: the menu in the lower part of the screen, composed by 3 buttons. Each one of them enables a particular visualization of the data, regarding a specific selected field or the entirety of the possessed fields. They are:
- Coltura: it allows to check for which crop a specific selected field is being cultivated for (rice, mais, ecc.)
- Difesa: it allows to assess the risk and the type of infection for a specific selected field (high, medium, low)
- Irrigazione: it allows to assess the urgency of irrigation for a specific selected field (high, medium, low)
- Richieste: it allows to check for requests from colleagues about field works, and take charge of any of it, if necessary (like a shared to-do list)
- Storico: just a screen displaying various type of data and their trend in past days/hours
- Campi: a setting screen, by which a farmer can set legal/practical infos regarding fields linked to his account
