    The Hofbox as a decentralised solution for agricultural operations
    (INFORMATIK 2023 - Designing Futures: Zukünfte gestalten, 2023) Weis, Martin; Bökle, Sebastian; Bauer, Christian
    In digital farming applications cloud-based software offers are predominantly used, which simplifies software and data handling, but lacks transparency of data storage and usage. Internet access becomes essential, which makes time-critical and weather-dependant applications dependent on internet connectivity posing risks for timely execution. To address these issues, a Hofbox concept is being developed that provides openly available software components on local computer hardware. It is based on a modular structure with automatically installable and configurable microservices. The Hofbox thus enables local data storage and processing as well as targeted data exchange via cloud systems that are organised in a decentralised manner. Machinery rings and farmers are targeted decentralised entities. The connected farm boxes are maintained according to an edge computing approach. All components are open source thus ensuring adaptability and expandability, focusing on the use of geodata for small and medium-sized farms.
