Grazing and Paddock ManagementPurpose
1.2. Aggregate data from sensors, manual logs, mapping databases, and lease management tools to monitor occupancy, grazing intensity, historical rotations, and compliance with agistment contracts.
1.3. Generate live and historical digital maps, visual alerts, compliance logs, and reports for paddock usage, with system-triggered notifications and document updates.
1.4. Enable real-time data sync from IoT, GPS, manual entry, and third-party lease management systems.
Trigger Conditions
2.2. Lease contract initiation, renewal, amendment, or termination in the management database.
2.3. Periodic sensor polling (daily/hourly scans of paddock occupancy, grass quality).
2.4. Manual update to paddock status or boundary (web/mobile form submission or map tool edit).
2.5. Compliance trigger (requirement for usage report or breach alert).
