Method and system for agricultural data collection and management
First Claim
1. A method for tracking a product in a supply chain using one or more processors, the method comprising:
- establishing a data collection interface between a first supply management device and a transaction database, the data collection interface providing the transaction database with access to identification data and event data, the identification data uniquely identifying the product, and the event data relating to a supply chain process step for the product;
receiving a product tracking request for formatted identification data and/or event data from a second supply management device; and
establishing a data conversion interface between the second supply management device, and the identification data and/or the event data, the data conversion interface providing the second supply management device with access to the identification data and/or the event data, according to the product tracking request.

Abstract
Agricultural data collection and management, such as for tracking a product in a supply chain. A data collection interface is established between a first supply management device and a transaction database, the data collection interface providing the transaction database with access to identification data and event data, the identification data uniquely identifying the product, and the event data relating to a supply chain process step for the product. A product tracking request for formatted identification data and/or event data is received from a second supply management device. A data conversion interface is established between the second supply management device, and the identification data and/or the event data, the data conversion interface providing the second supply management device with access to the identification data and/or the event data, according to the product tracking request.

21. A method for tracking related products, including a first and a second product, in a supply chain using one or more processors, the method comprising:
-
establishing a data collection interface between a first supply management device and a transaction database, the data collection interface providing the transaction database with access to first identification data and event data, the first identification data uniquely identifying the first product and the event data relating to a supply chain process step for the first product; receiving product mapping data, the product mapping data mapping the first identification data to second identification data uniquely identifying the second product; receiving a product tracking request for formatted first identification data and/or event data from a second supply management device, based upon second identification data; and establishing a data conversion interface between the second supply management device, and the first identification data and/or the event data, the data conversion interface providing the second supply management device with access to the first identification data and/or the event data, according to the product tracking request.

22. A system for tracking related products, including a first and a second product, in a supply chain using one or more processors, the system comprising:
-
a transaction database configured to store first identification data uniquely identifying the first product, event data relating to a supply chain process step for the first product, and product mapping data mapping the first identification data to second identification data uniquely identifying the second product; a first supply management device configured to capture the first identification data and the event data; a data collection interface between the first supply management device and the transaction database, the data collection interface providing the transaction database with access to the first identification data and the event data; a second supply management device configured to generate a product tracking request for formatted first identification data and/or event data, based upon second identification data; and a data conversion interface between the transaction database and the second supply management device, the data conversion interface providing the second supply management device with access to the first identification data and/or the event data, according to the product tracking request.

23. A computer storage medium encoded with a computer program, the program comprising stored instructions that when executed by one or more processors cause a data processing apparatus to perform operations comprising:
-
establish a data collection interface between a first supply management device and a transaction database, the data collection interface providing the transaction database with access to identification data and event data, the identification data uniquely identifying the product, and the event data relating to a supply chain process step for the product; receive a product tracking request for formatted identification data and/or event data from a second supply management device; and establish a data conversion interface between the second supply management device, and the identification data and/or the event data, the data conversion interface providing the second supply management device with access to the identification data and/or the event data, according to the product tracking request.
