Leaders in remote water monitoring

Farmbot was established in Sydney in 2014 and is a leading Australian Agtech company. Our Saas Platform gathers data points via our unique IoT device that puts Farmers “in the know” on their water assets with near real time reporting on water levels, trends and alerts anywhere in the world.

 

Our founders combined knowledge of farming, the IT industry and financial markets in the agriculture sector are core to bringing Farmbot’s vision to life:

 

Provide farmers with a smart, cost effective and easy to use solution to better manage their most valuable resource – water. The farming experience across our executive team allows us to intimately understand the everyday hardships that farmers are faced with.

 

That’s why Farmbot’s solutions are designed and built to not only bring innovation and progress into agribusinesses but to also provide farmers with the knowledge they need to better plan their day, save on costs and have the peace of mind they rarely get to have. The company monitors and reports on-farm water ecosystems delivering near real-time reporting on water trends, consumption and alerts.

The Farmbot tank monitor is one of the handiest management tools I have seen for a long time. It is simple to install and simple to use! I wish we had one of these years ago as it eliminates a lot of stress worrying about water. I thoroughly recommend it and it will allow you to sleep at night.

Damian Forshaw – General Manager – Nita Downs Station, Broome WA

Farmbot is a simple system, easy to install, reliable and affordable. It certainly has provided our business with greater efficiency and security with regard to our cattle management. By using Farmbot, I can usually sleep well at night, especially during the summer months.

Douglas Lillecrapp, Todmorden Cattle Company

Thanks to Farmbot, we can deal with issues promptly, before they become disasters and in remote pastoral country it is difficult to put a price on that.

C.H. MACLACHLAN, Jumbuck Pastoral

Farmbot to me is the most reliable labor I have.
