Real-Time Geo-Intelligence to Track Tractor Usage & Land Coverage

Problem Statement

A leading agricultural platform needed to track tractor movements in real-time, distinguish services from transit, and generate accurate land coverage and billing data at scale.

  • Process high-frequency GPS data cost-effectively across thousands of tractors
  • Differentiate between idle movement and active ploughing
  • Identify exact field boundaries and calculate area covered
  • Handle large-scale streaming data with transaction-level integrity

Business Outcomes

43%

Reduction in billing discrepancies with geo-spatial accuracy

20%

Decrease in manual corrections due to intelligent automation

Solutions

  • Designed and built a real-time digital product for streaming tractor geo-location and activity data 
  • Applied geometry-based algorithms to calculate both distance traveled and land area covered
  • Automatically generated invoices based on area ploughed, reducing manual intervention 
  • Filtered and categorized movement data to distinguish transport paths from actual service activity 
  • Fully deployed solution on AWS cloud for scalability and performance
