Mobile Workforce Management System for Agricultural Production and Packaging Processes

The client faces significant difficulties in accurately tracking employee productivity and inventory volumes due to manual data collection methods. These processes are resource-intensive, error-prone, and lack real-time visibility, hindering efficient decision-making in production, sales, and inventory management, especially in remote farming environments with limited connectivity.

A large-scale agricultural company specializing in the cultivation, processing, and sale of fresh produce, aiming to optimize workforce productivity and product tracking in field and packaging operations.

• Develop a mobile application enabling field workers to record harvest data accurately and efficiently, even offline.
• Integrate device data with existing factory scanners to track product preparation and packaging progress.
• Enhance data accuracy and reduce manual errors through automation and digital data capture.
• Provide real-time insights into workforce output and inventory status to facilitate data-driven decision-making.
• Achieve measurable improvements such as significant time savings, error reduction, and forecasting accuracy enhancements.

• Mobile app with offline capabilities for field data collection, enabling workers to scan QR codes on badges and harvest containers.
• Ability to store and synchronize data when internet becomes available.
• Integration with factory scanners via Bluetooth, powered by a single-board computer, for real-time product tracking on packaging lines.
• Support for multi-code scanning within a single camera frame to enhance efficiency in high-volume environments.
• Secure data encoding and transmission protocols to prevent interception and ensure integrity.
• Automated data reconciliation and transfer to central servers for analytics and reporting.

• Factory barcode/QR code scanners connected via Bluetooth
• Single-board computers (e.g., Raspberry Pi) controlling hardware interfaces
• Backend server infrastructure for data storage, processing, and analytics

• Offline operation support with seamless synchronization upon connectivity
• High data accuracy and integrity in data collection and transfer
• Scalability to support varying workforce sizes and operational scales
• Security measures to prevent data interception and ensure privacy
• Performance optimization for quick multi-code scanning and processing

The implementation of this mobile workforce management system is expected to substantially improve operational efficiency by saving approximately 30 minutes of work time per employee daily, reduce data entry errors by at least 50%, shorten training times by 20%, and increase inventory forecasting accuracy by 15%. These efficiencies will enable timely, data-driven decisions, enhance inventory management, and streamline production workflows, ultimately contributing to increased productivity and sales performance.
