Planning

Expert models

Expert models UI (user interface) displays the process of entering sequenced tasks within selected expert model (EM). Expert model is a kind of agro-technological map with tasks and resources included (type of machinery, type and quantities of materials, labor) which are needed for production of selected agriculture crop.There are two ways for creating Expert model versions:
a) by importing of prepared EM`s through web service or
b) by creating new expert model directly in Expert model UI.

PLACEMENT INTO PLANNING PRODUCTION:

Picture 1: "Expert model" placement in planning production system

Expert model is a technological map/plan/recipe within time component for a season. Advantages of expert model system use is that expert models are:

• base for planning process which could be displayed by gantt and connected to calendar
• base for investments analysis with costs needed according to time component (how much money do we need to start production and also during the season)
• base for tracking of resource occupancy (which resources: self-propelled, implements, workers do we need to start production and later during the season). 
• base for tracking of material occupancy (which materials do we need to start production and yield/product quantities and later during the season)

Technically, our expert model recipe could be "transferred" into different planning levels: into PLAN UI or within WORK ORDER UI.

DEVELOPMENT NOTE:

- in further development expert models will be connected to Nutrition features, Irrigation module, Fertilization module and other modules.
