点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

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.
