In the last decades, technology has evolved rapidly across all industries. As expected, farming has also benefit from the digital transformation era, becoming more technology-driven. Nowadays, farmers use smart devices to gain knowledge about their crops and livestock, to make predictions and take better actions, improving efficiency and production. However, a great challenge of the present is combining and integrating data from a variety of data sources, in a manner that is both easy to use and understand. This paper presents a solution for integrating and analysing data collected from smart agriculture sensors inside a web platform. The solution allows the user to visualize metrics regarding productivity, crop stage, make predictions, take actions and deploy field workers for planned activities. The first part of the paper introduces the research farms of the University of Agronomic Sciences and Veterinary Medicine. These were used as part of the study, being spread across the country, with different types of soils, terrain and crops. Further, we introduce a series of data collected from the farms, including drone imagery data collected in 2017 and 2018, respectively. Finally, we present the web platform, its functionality and the workflows that allows a smart farming management.
