How to use this tool

  1. Enter fruit to pick, fruit per station, picking rate while working, and minutes to reposition in the displayed units.
  2. Calculate and use each labeled result for orchard picking work estimate. Compare the result with a measured sample before committing materials.

Try this example

{
  "fruit": 120,
  "perStation": 8,
  "rate": 20,
  "move": 3
}
