Grain quality, traceability, and decision support system for the agriculture sector

加拿大种植者可以销售自己的谷物。随之而来的是需要监控时间，价格和地点，他们希望出售他们的粮食。要确定谷物的价格，人们必须能够确定谷物的质量和数量。为了给谷物的质量分等级，必须取样以确定诸如由昆虫、湿度或温度引起的损害等特性。谷物取样可能是一个耗时的过程，因为传统上，一个代表性的样品需要一个人在固定的时间间隔从螺旋钻流出的谷物中取样。VeriGrain采样公司研制了一套自动进行颗粒取样和数据管理的系统。他们希望在自己的移动的应用程序上为农业的种植者、购买者和消费者提供更多的功能。该应用研究项目的重点是提高粮食质量的识别和可追溯性，以及提供一个决策支持系统。VeriGrain将与萨斯喀彻温省理工学院合作，创造这种产品，这将使农业产业的利润最大化。

Canadian growers can market their own grain. With this comes the need to monitor the time, price, and placethey wish to sell their grain. To determine the price of grain one must be able to determine the quality of thegrain and the quantity. To grade the quality of the grain, samples must be taken to identify characteristics suchas damage caused by insects, moisture, or temperature. Grain sampling can be a time-consuming processbecause traditionally a representative sample requires a person to take a sample from grain flowing from theauger at regular time intervals. VeriGrain Sampling Inc. has produced a system to automatically perform grainsampling and data management. They want to build onto their mobile app to provide further functionality forgrowers, buyers, and consumers of the agriculture industry. This applied research project focuses on increasinggrain quality identification and traceability as well as providing a Decision Support System. VeriGrain willwork with Saskatchewan Polytechnic to create this product which will maximize profits for the agricultureindustry.
