Client Overview

Our client is a leading global provider of solutions for agricultural earthworks, based in Australia. Known for their innovative approach, they focus on transforming farming practices to optimize land use and water management.

Project Overview

Farmers were empowered to reshape and optimize the landforms of their farms through specialized software, enabling smarter water management and more efficient land use across vast areas.

Challenges

  1. Farms in Australia and the United States are often expansive, typically spanning 30 to 50 square hectares, with diverse and challenging topographies. 
  2. Given the vast scale and complexity, manual reshaping of farm designs became impractical and inefficient. 
  3. To solve this issue, an Australian research firm pioneered a new technology and approached ProtoTech Solutions for software development to streamline the land-forming process.

Solutions

ProtoTech Solutions developed a cutting-edge application that provided farmers with optimal landform designs to enhance water management with minimal earth-moving. The tool utilized GPS devices to capture the farm’s existing topography as 3D point clouds. With this data, the application performed the following tasks:

  1. Topographical Modeling: Transformed captured point clouds into accurate, detailed topographical models.
  2. Water Management Input: Allowed farmers to input their specific water management requirements.
  3. Optimal Design Generation: Produced the ideal landform design that addressed water management objectives.

By leveraging the cloud, the design was easily accessible and shareable, promoting seamless collaboration. As a result, farmers no longer faced lengthy waiting periods for topsoil recovery. Within just ONE YEAR, the optimized landform design enabled effective water drainage, reducing the need for extensive earthworks and ensuring sustainable topsoil management.

Benefits

The successful collaboration between ProtoTech and the Australian research firm led to transformative results. By entrusting ProtoTech with the development of the land-forming software, the client was able to shift their focus to business development and marketing efforts.

To ensure smooth and efficient progress, ProtoTech provided:

  • Daily Updates: Consistent communication ensured alignment and transparency.
  • Weekly Meetings: Regular check-ins to track ongoing and future development activities.
  • Rapid Deliveries: Weekly releases for quick feedback and testing.

“ProtoTech Solutions brought our vision of landform optimization to life. Their innovative application enabled efficient farm reshaping for better water management, allowing us to focus on marketing while they handled the technical details seamlessly.”
