Smart-farm Grant Challenge

About Smart-farm Grant Challenge

STPI announces the Smart-farm Grant Challenge for Development of a “Digital solution to predict optimum time of sugarcane harvest”.

The application must have features but not limited to the few indicated below:

i. Should predict the optimum time of sugarcane harvest in a given plot area with reasonable accuracy.

ii. Should utilise computer simulations and digital data for reaching accurate results.

iii. Should provide plot-wise Polling in cane and yield estimate.

iv. Estimate the sugar content of all the plots in its catchment area remotely.

v. Should identify the plots which are mature/ ready to harvest.

vi. Should identify the poor plots in the initial stage.

vii. Should identify command area vs survey area for identification of the forged plots & left out plots.

viii. Should identify water-stressed plots and inform the exact time of irrigation.

ix. Results should be in easily interpretable formats viz graphs, images etc.

x. Results should be validated against the real-time digital data.

xi. Developed solution should be user friendly (most of the processes may be automated).

xii. Should be documented elaborately.

xiii. Low on the usage of power/ processor.

xiv. Should not have any external hardware dependency.

xv. Results along with the advisory to be disseminated through a mobile app to the farmers and the sugar mills.

The Smart-farm Grant Challenge is open for participation in teams having experts from all domains of a software development life cycle. Total duration of the Smart-farm Grant Challenge would be around 12 months/ 1 year (ideation, prototype and product stage).

Last date for submission is 08 June 2022
