FAR are pleased to announce recent major developments to ProductionWise version 2.00. The Version 2.0 release includes full re-development of My Grain to record and manage your grain storage efficiently across-farm (June 2014)
My Grain Re-Development
My Grain has been re-developed to enable growers to record and manage stored grain across-farm more efficiently. This includes recording and managing grain sales and contracts to provide full traceability of grain from paddock to sales.
My Grain is a unique and fully integrated 'transaction style' grain storage diary enabling full storage and grain management activities to be recorded. It provides the ability to track all grain sources, monitor quality and provide grain management history for grain buyers.
The changes provide:
• The current grain source availability from recently harvested paddocks and grain locations
• A current fill status for each storage location
• A full 'transaction' style log of all management activities for each storage location
• The ability to record the following activities for storages
o Aerate - Record aeration details
o Clean - Record all cleaning practices and products used
o Fill - Enter grain into a storage location from on-farm or off-farm source
o Inspect - Record inspections and grain monitoring details including grain quality parameters
o Pesticide - Record all fumigation activities including product and application rate
o Sell - Record grain sales and contracts from harvests or storage locations
o Transfer - Record all cross-farm grain movements
o Adjust - Zero or manually adjust the storage quantity
• The ability to record and manage grain sales and contracts for full traceability
All growers with stored grain for the current 2014 season, including pesticide and cleaning operations, will appear in the new My Grain section to allow the continuation of your grain management.
Next Release - In addition to the My Grain developments, the next release will include upgrades allowing grain storage reports to be generated in the My Reports section. The reports will assist self-auditing, management decisions and overall traceability of activities performed on stored grain. The improvements will also enable input reports to be generated to assess input quantities and usage across your ProductionWise account.
This update comes on top of Version 1.9 which was released in April and included a complete redesign of the mapping, navigation & reporting tools.
ProductionWise version 1.9 changes include:
My Farm Improvements
• Mapping redesign
The mapping functionality of the My Farm page has been completely rebuilt with new technology. The redesign has changed how the Google Map, farm and paddock selectors work, vastly improving space utilisation, speed and reliability. The mapping controls have been simplified making it a straight forward task to map your entire farm very quickly.
• Map all the features of your farm
In addition to your existing paddocks and grain storages you can now create polygons, lines, circles, rectangles and markers. Use these new shapes to map all the physical, infrastructure and paddock features of your farm.
• Change visible map layers
There is now a button inside the Google Map viewer allowing you to change the visible map data layers and map type.
• Print farm map
The print map feature now allows you to adjust the visible map layers to get your map looking exactly how you want. Use your browsers print function to print the A4 map.
• Find the Latitude & Longitude of a farm feature
When in full screen mode there is now a latitude/longitude coordinate of your mouse pointer displayed at the bottom of the screen.
• Record paddock ID
When mapping your paddocks you can now record a paddock ID in addition to the paddock name.
My Diary Improvements
• Record multiple implements in one paddock operation
Paddock operations where more than one implement was used can now be recorded accurately in the diary. Especially useful in situations where harrows or a roller has been attached behind the main implement.
My Reports Improvements
• Comprehensive paddock reports
The My Reports page has been completely redesigned to allow advanced custom reports to be created from all your farm, paddock, crop, variety, operation and input diary data. All reports generated can be printed from the browser, saved as a PDF, saved as a CSV or emailed to anyone as a PDF.
General Site Improvements
• Farm & paddock selector advanced details
The new farm and paddock selectors, which appear on most pages of the site, now show advanced details of each farm or paddock item.
• Speed improvements
If you are using ProductionWise on a mobile device or on a poor internet connection speed, collapsing the Google Maps viewer will declutter the interface and vastly improve page load speed. ProductionWise remembers your setting and subsequent visits to the site will not redisplay the Google Maps viewer unless you expand it again.
