One farm, five layers
Every signal your farm sends, in one brain
Each layer sees something the others can't. Famo puts them together so you get one clear answer: what to do today.
Air
Multispectral and spray drones zoom in where satellites see a problem — plant by plant.
- Centimetre maps
- Plant counts
- Variable-rate spraying
Field
Soil probes, weather stations, leaf-wetness sensors and AI pest traps report around the clock.
- Moisture & NPK
- Microclimate
- Pest counts
Water
Drip, pivots, fertigation and solar pumps deliver exactly what the crop needs — no more.
- Smart scheduling
- Remote pumps
- Nutrient dosing
Machines
RTK guidance, robots, cameras and solar power keep the work precise, safe and running off-grid.
- Centimetre RTK
- Field robots
- Off-grid power
Famo AI
Dashboard, app and voice advisor — one daily plan from every layer.
What you get
One dashboard for every field and every device
Everything in your package lands in the same Famo dashboard and app — no extra logins, no spreadsheets. Click a feature, or try the live demo yourself.
smartsoilai.com/farmer/dashboard
Every field's health, weather and today's work on one screen.
Read-only, no sign-up — real screens with sample data.

ha
Quantities follow your farm size — one soil node per ~4 ha, one weather station per ~150 ha, and so on. Our team fine-tunes them for your fields.
From space
Satellite crop monitoring
Live in FamoSentinel-2 imagery every few days with 30+ vegetation, water and soil indices — NDVI, NDRE, NDWI, EVI and more — for every field you draw.
Maps crop health zone by zone and alerts you when a patch starts falling behind.
Included with Famo — nothing to buy
Radar & weather intelligence
Live in FamoSentinel-1 radar sees through cloud and monsoon skies, alongside a 7-day farm forecast, live rain radar and evapotranspiration.
Turns rain, heat and wind into tasks: when to spray, irrigate or hold off.
Included with Famo — nothing to buy
From the air
Multispectral drone mapping
Live in FamoCentimetre-level crop maps from a multispectral drone: plant counts, stress patches and gaps that satellites are too coarse to see.
Overlays each flight on your fields and turns stress patches into a spray or fertiliser prescription.
Spraying & spreading drones
Live in FamoSpray and spread exactly where it is needed — fast, without trampling the crop, and with far less chemical than a blanket pass.
Logs every spraying and spreading flight — product, rate and area — beside the map that called for it.
In the field
Live soil sensor network
Live in FamoSolar LoRa nodes and RS485 probes read moisture, temperature and NPK in the root zone around the clock.
Shows each field's soil live, tracks it against your crop's needs and warns before stress begins.
Soil & leaf testing
Live in FamoThe SmartSoil 8-in-1 sensor reads pH, NPK, EC, moisture, salinity, temperature, organic matter and calcium in seconds; a chlorophyll meter checks the leaves.
Turns each reading into a fertiliser plan in your language — what to apply, how much and when.
On-farm weather station
Live in FamoYour own rain, wind, temperature, humidity, solar radiation and leaf-wetness readings — the microclimate your crop actually lives in.
Feeds disease-risk and irrigation models with your field's real conditions, not the nearest town's.
Pest & disease watch
Live in FamoAI trap cameras count insects automatically and solar light traps cut pest pressure without chemicals.
Raises a pest alert when counts climb and suggests the right control at the right time.
Farm-wide connectivity
Live in FamoA LoRaWAN gateway links every sensor across kilometres of fields and sends the data out over 4G or Wi-Fi.
Pairs each device to its field in a few taps and tells you when one goes quiet.
Water & nutrients
Smart irrigation
Live in FamoDrip kits for smaller farms, centre pivots for large ones, with Wi-Fi/4G controllers and remote pump control.
Schedules water from soil moisture, forecast rain and crop stage, and logs every irrigation.
Automatic fertigation
Live in FamoA dosing machine mixes nutrients straight into the irrigation water, in the exact ratio your plan calls for.
Builds the nutrient recipe from your soil tests and crop stage, week by week.
Solar water pumping
Live in FamoSolar pumps and inverters move water with no diesel bill and no grid connection.
Times irrigation for sunny hours so the pump runs on free energy.
Machines, power & security
RTK precision guidance
Live in FamoA GNSS RTK base and rover give machines and drones centimetre accuracy for straight rows and exact boundaries.
Imports machine data and field boundaries so every pass lines up with your maps.
Field robots
Coming soonScouting robots walk the rows with cameras; weeding robots remove weeds mechanically, without herbicide.
Sends robots to the problem patches satellites and drones have flagged.
Farm security cameras
Live in FamoSolar 4G cameras keep an eye on gates, stores, pumps and livestock, with no cables to run.
Keeps every camera one tap away in the same app as your fields.
Off-grid farm power
Live in FamoA 5 kW solar kit with LiFePO₄ storage powers gateways, cameras, controllers and pumps day and night.
Keeps your sensors and controllers online even where the grid never reaches.

Rules of thumb for uniform fields. Hilly land, many small plots, mixed crops or sandy soils need more sensors; our team adjusts the count after a farm assessment.

How you'll use it
A day on your digital farm
- 6:00
Morning brief
Famo reads out today's plan in your language: two fields to irrigate, one to scout.
- 9:30
Water, only where needed
Soil nodes in Block B fall below target — the controller opens its valves for 40 minutes.
- 12:00
Spray window closes
Wind is rising this afternoon, so Famo moves tomorrow's spraying to 7 am.
- 15:00
Trouble spotted early
Satellite NDRE shows a pale patch; the drone confirms nitrogen stress and a prescription is ready.
- 19:00
Pests counted overnight
Trap cameras log a rise in moths — Famo raises an alert and suggests a light-trap check.

Questions farmers ask
Do I have to buy every module?
No. Switch on only what your farm needs — many farms start with satellite monitoring, soil testing and a few soil nodes, then add drones or irrigation control later.
Does it work without good internet?
Sensors talk to a LoRaWAN gateway over long-range radio, and the gateway needs only one 4G or Wi-Fi connection for the whole farm. The Famo app keeps working offline and syncs when it can.
What does "Coming soon" mean?
The hardware is available today; the deeper Famo integration (for example processing your own drone flights inside the dashboard) is being built. We mark it clearly so you know exactly what you get on day one.
How is Famo priced?
The Famo platform is priced per field — see our pricing page. Hardware is quoted separately, with delivery and installation, after we confirm your kit.
