Sponsor: CLAAS
Project: Grain Harvest Logistics
Senior Design 2018-2019 Year in Review
The purpose of this project is to create a Progressive Web Application (PWA) that generates the optimal path to harvest crops. Instead of developing a native iOS native app, we chose to develop a PWA. The reason is that no installation is required for a PWA and its content could be cached beforehand, so users can still browse without an Internet connection.
There are two phases of this project, the first phase is the Demo Tool. Sponsors want this tool to be able to run offline, so we cached 6000+ images in our webpage. When users have Internet access, the cache function will automatically start.
The second phase is the Consumer Tool. Other than one pre-selected field shape in Demo Tool, users can upload their own field shapes to our webpage in Consumer Tool. They can choose the crop type (Corn or Wheat), the input unit (Metric or Imperial), Harvester Model (740TT or 760 TT), and header Width (30 ft or 50 ft) base on their preference.
