QField

Collaborating with Tonga’s Ministry of Agriculture, Food, and Forests, we developed a farm monitoring workflow for Pacific Island agricultural landscapes with QField as the primary data collection tool and using QFieldCloud to support large team collaborative surveys. This workflow has been used to survey over 10,000 farms across Tonga for applications ranging from national scale crop surveys to targeted disaster response.
We used the QFieldCloud API to build custom applications that enable data collected with QField to be used in automated reporting tasks and be quickly accessible to support decision makers.

The National Land Survey of Finland is preparing to start collecting their topographic database by open-source solutions in 2025. Since field work is an integral part of making sure certain object classes are precise and on the right place, we needed to integrate field work solution for our topographic data management system. QField provided to be an answer for our needs, and we have been able to acquire solutions for our operators’ typical workflows. For example, being able to orthogonalize building polygons and having tools to undo modifications.
Also, we have received essential support to integrate Qfield for our system. Working with OPENGIS.ch has been easy, beneficial and their consultancy has helped us a lot!

Mobile data acquisition with QField opens up new possibilities for all researchers at the German Archaeological Institute to easily and precisely document cultural heritage and excavation results. Thanks to the excellent and uncomplicated cooperation with the developers of OPENGIS.ch, we were able to carry out several further developments for QField, which also benefit areas outside the archaeological community in the spirit of open source.

The Ministry is using of Agriculture , Food , and Forests in the Kingdom of Tonga has been using QField since 2020 for survey and datum collection . It ’s transform a process of paper – base survey and manual datum entry to digital capture of key geospatial farm management information . It ’s been used for national scale crop survey in 2020 – 2021 and focus application such as an impact assessment to the agricultural sector after the Hunga Tonga Hunga Ha’apai eruption . The crop survey data is meant capture before the eruption was used to generate early estimate of crop loss ; QField ’s offline capabilities is meant mean cropland damage mapping could be undertake while the country was offline when the undersea cable were sever ; and , QField was used to survey community leader for estimate of loss of agricultural produce and infrastructure .
