System architecture

The SIVA platform is a centralised and multi-lingual web application with typical 3-tier architecture. Database tier: SIVA users MySql and SqlServer products for its DBMS. The databases are used for management of agronomic and meteorological data respectively. A back-up and disaster recovery system ensures the safety and integrity of the data.Middle tier: The back-end is divided into three parts. The part that deals with the Web component is built with JAVA technology and some modules are implemented with PHP. A second part manages communication with the weather stations and the farming equipment and is essentially comprised of daemon processes that implement its logic. These latter are built on .NET technology. The third part is composed of processes that take care of elaboration and generation of climate models.Client tier: The front-end of the application is developed with Javascript and AJAX technology. The client part can be accessed through desktop PCs, handheld devices and mobile phones. C

3a srl is an SME that has been operating since 1997 in the area of services for farms and the agrifood chain.

The company’s mission is focussed on providing ICT solutions combined with agronomical and project consultancy services for the promotion of quality agrifood production.

The expertise developed over the course of their activity make 3a capable of guaranteeing the coordination and management of farming activities, right up to harvesting.

Nowadays successful agrifood companies are deeply committed to emphasising the agricultural raw materials as the factor guaranteeing goodness for the consumer.

One of the key factors for the growth of a business is the adoption of shared technological platforms, able narrow the gap between the production situation and consumer. The introduction of ICT (Information and Communication Technology) to a business provides a advantage over competitors, and creates the prerequisites for a widening of market reach.

In this context, 3a srl has made the SIVA AGRIFOOD PLATFORM, an advanced web-based infrastructure capable of vertically transferring dynamic information for the management and documentation of fresh and processed agricultural products.

Set up as a portal for production process management, the SIVA platform can be used by all the co-workers on the farm and agrifood company (agronomers, production operators, technical managers and organisational consultants) to accurately and rapidly record the activities undertaken.

This gives the entrepreneur an overview of the production chain, and greatly speeds up paperwork and printing of records.

SIVA AGRIFOOD PLATFORMA VERTICAL SOLUTION FOR THE AGRIFOOD CHAIN

A technological platform capable of organising and providing information and documents for the management of agricultural and agrifood productions.

This solution, based on web technology, allows you to gather, organise and transmit a wide range of information related to the agrifood chain. The system allows complete traceability of products, covering all segments of the value chain: from the agricultural producer, to the processor, down to the end-consumer.

The production situation, events and processing stages are recorded sequentially and vertically in order to make information fluid and easy to modulate, according to company needs, whether these involve organisation, management, regulations or marketing. The batch code issued at the end of the process enables the simple and efficient creation of a technical outline of the product processing history for promotional purposes, and is the fundamental element for guaranteeing the product’s origin and its traceability for food safety purposes.

The base module of the SIVA platform has four technological applications:

TRaCK for monitoring agricultural machinery through GPS tracking, METEO for monitoring weather in the field with electronic stations, RaD,

the radiative model in RaDSOIL and RaDCROP versions for estimating the solar energy useful for photosynthesis and TRaCE real-time product information with digital labels.
