Automated analysis and reporting of field performance metrics

Purpose

1.1. Automate collection, processing, and visualization of field performance metrics (e.g., yield, equipment usage, soil quality, weather patterns) for informed decision-making, compliance, and resource optimization in crop production.
1.2. Reduce manual workload for reporting, enable real-time oversight, and integrate multi-source data (IoT devices, satellites, equipment) for timely actionable insights.
1.3. Provide scheduled and on-demand analytic summaries, trend tracking, anomaly detection, and performance benchmarking across different sites or seasons.

Trigger Conditions

2.1. Scheduled intervals (e.g., daily, weekly, monthly).
2.2. Receipt of new data batch from IoT, ERP, or satellite feeds.
2.3. User initiation from dashboard or mobile app.
2.4. Threshold breach in key metric (e.g., sudden yield drop, equipment alert).
2.5. Trigger from third-party API notification (e.g., weather alert).
