Description

To ensure food safety, a food’s production history must be recorded at all stages. The rapid evolution of devices such as smartphones and tablet computers permits the development of applications to collect such information, but improved usability and functionality are needed if this technology is to support the aging farmer population, large-scale farming, and diversification into processing and distribution. To meet these needs, we developed a cloud computing service called “apras”. We assumed that the main users of “apras” would be groups of producers such as agricultural cooperatives. Using apras’s applications on a range of devices, users can easily enter information and share it with other users; options include PCs, smartphones, tablets, and optical character recognition (OCR) of handwritten forms. “apras” can also collect data from instruments attached to mobile devices. “apras” has been operating without problems for approximately 4500 users in Hokkaido.
