Cloud integration platform as a concept for integration of applications and systems in farming

There are various applications and systems available for farming where each of them cover a niche area and farming processes: ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system for farming, application for winegrowers, systems collecting data from various sensors, etc. The problem is that those applications and systems only enable farmers to perform analyses on application or system data. Farmers therefore cannot perform analyses on data of more than one application or system. The EU project AgroIT was defined and executed to solve the problem of standardized integration of applications and systems for farming. The concept of integration of applications and systems is a cloud integration platform where applications and systems do not integrate directly, but through a cloud integration platform based on a standard defined in the project. The paper introduces realization of goals of the AgroIT project and the cloud integration platform as a key achievement of the project.
