Nordic knowledge and know-how in the area of agriculture and ICT was extracted and further developed in the joint Nordic project ‘InfoXT - User-centric mobile information management in automated plant production’. The aim of the project was to draw up basic recommendations and guidelines for a novel, intelligent, integrated information and decision support framework for planning and control of mobile working units. Project participants came from Aarhus University - Faculty of Agricultural Sciences, Helsinki University of Technology - Information and Computer Systems in Automation, MTT Agrifood Research Finland, Swedish Institute for Agricultural and Environmental Engineering and VTT - Technical Research Centre of Finland. The work was based on a systems analysis approach that utilised data from earlier and on-going Nordic research and new prototypes as a technology platform. An initial study among Swedish precision farmers revealed user needs in information- and technology-intensive farms. Against this background, a systems concept for information management in mobile plant production environments was designed. The concept was technically validated by implementing new parts in practice. The system usability of the concept was evaluated using scenarios and internet questionnaire in all Nordic countries. The resulting system concept functions as a common description of user-friendly information systems for all actors in the value chain.
