THE PROJECT

With the help of software,  farmers were able to reshape and optimize the landform design of their farm manually.

THE CHALLENGE

• Farms in most parts of Australia and the United States are large and range in scale from 30 to 50 square hectares with varying topography. In such situations, farmers can not manually reshape and refine the land design of their farm. 
• The Australian research firm developed a technology to do this. They approached us to develop the necessary land-forming software.

THE SOLUTION

• Our team developed an application that provides the user with an optimal land-form design, to achieve the objectives of water management with minimal earth-moving activities.
• Our tool uses GPS devices to take a snapshot of the existing topography as input, in the form of 3D point cloud,
• It further creates the topography using these point clouds, asks for user input data on water management, and provides an optimum landform design as output. 
• This new design can be shared with the users through the cloud. With our application, the farmer does not have to wait 2 or 3 years for the topsoil to recover and reap the benefits of land grading. 
• Within a year all the water drains out and minimal earthwork is enough for topsoil management.

Language and SDK: C++, MFC, HOOPS, Algorithms

THE BENEFIT

• Since the development was carried out by the ProtoTech team, the client transferred their attention to marketing and business development of the product. 
• Our team exchanged updates with the client every day. 
• Our team at ProtoTech held weekly meetings to discuss future development activities. 
• Our team made weekly releases to help the customer check the deliverables quickly at their end.
