Farm Management Platform Architecture
A platform farmers use to plan crops, record field work and inputs, and get advisory and market prices.
C4 Architecture diagrams are part of Pro. Anyone can view this one; generating and editing it needs Pro.

What this diagram shows
- Every field activity is logged against a plot and season
- Weather and satellite data feed crop advisories
- Market prices come from government and mandi feeds
Prompt used
Farm management platform architecture: farmers use a vernacular mobile app (works offline); agronomists use a web console. Services: farm and plot registry with maps, crop planning and field activity logs (sowing, spraying, fertiliser), an advisory service using weather APIs and satellite NDVI imagery, and a market price service pulling mandi prices. Data in PostgreSQL with PostGIS.

Precision Farming IoT Deployment
Where each part of a precision farming system runs: soil and weather sensors in the field, a solar-powered LoRaWAN gateway, and cloud services for irrigation and advice.
Farm-to-Market Supply Chain
How produce moves from the farm to the buyer: harvest, grading, collection centre, mandi or online market, and payment to the farmer.
Crop Monitoring Data Pipeline
How satellite and drone imagery plus field sensors become crop health alerts and advice for farmers.
Automated Irrigation Controller
The states of an automated drip irrigation controller: idle, scheduled watering, moisture-based watering, rain delay and fault handling.
Mandi Price and Selling App
How a farmer checks crop prices across nearby mandis and books a sale: live prices, transport cost, best net price and booking.
Farm Records Database Schema
A schema for a farm management app: farmers, plots, crop cycles, inputs applied, activities and harvests.
