Abstract

This paper is focusing on how to eliminate the required time for importing all the necessary data into a farm management information system (FMIS). This process was automated by using ISO 11783 and SAE J1939 communication information from the tractor’s CAN-Bus. Using a data logger and a machine to machine (M2M) gateway inside the tractor’s cabin, CAN-Bus data were recorded and transmitted to the cloud-based server of the FMIS. There, a script was responsible for parsing and aggregating the raw machine data into specific agricultural tasks and then importing them into the FMIS. The operator could choose the type of the performed task by a number of switches connected with the digital inputs of the data logger.
