Storm coming: bring the harvest forward

What it does

Every morning: the 7-day forecast at each orchard; if gusts of 50 km/h or more are coming the managers are told on WhatsApp to bring the harvest forward, otherwise the week ahead is emailed.

In one sentence: Every day at 06:00, take your table, get the 7-day weather forecast, split them by wind_max_kmh ≥ 50, then send message in WhatsApp Business and email the list to you.

Why it is useful

Strong wind drops fruit and flattens crops. A few days' warning is enough to harvest early.

Who it is for

Agriculture & food supply. Growers, agri suppliers and food supply teams watching fields and weather and finding buyers and dealers. Every use case for agriculture & food supply

Best use cases

• An orchard

What each run gives you

• WhatsApp or an email

The time it saves

Every day at 06:00. Doing the same work by hand takes about 15 minutes each time; it runs about 30 times a month, so it saves about 8 hours a month (an estimate). It is easy: 6 blocks.
