Automated data import from IoT devices and machinery

Purpose

1.1. Enable seamless, automated extraction and integration of real-time operational data (irrigation, harvesters, soil sensors, weather stations, machinery telemetry) from distributed IoT sources into central agricultural cooperative systems.
1.2. Support precise inventory tracking, predictive supply chain management, and responsive production planning for stakeholders across the cooperative.
1.3. Facilitate compliance reporting, optimize input usage, track asset performance, and enable actionable insights by unifying disparate IoT device streams.
1.4. Eliminate manual data entry, reduce human error, and empower automated decision-making for resource scheduling, yield estimation, and logistics coordination.

Trigger Conditions

2.1. Scheduled intervals (e.g., every 15 minutes, hourly, or daily).
2.2. On receipt of new sensor/machinery telemetry (e.g., new payload via MQTT/HTTP POST).
2.3. Device status changes (e.g., machine “on/off”, sensor reading threshold crossed).
2.4. User-defined webhook/callbacks from field equipment or mesh network gateway.
