An agricultural startup monitors its crop health in real-time after we automated its manual operations

After implementing our web-based dashboard and monitoring system, the agricultural startup optimized its response time for better decision making, maintaining crop health and growth, and bringing the team on one page.

A development partnership enabled an agricultural client to harvest with a greater success ratio

After decades of observing problems originating from an expensive and incomplete hiring process in the IT industry, TheHexaTown decided to rework IT companies’ recruitment drive by creating a unique SaaS application (platform), enabling hirers to validate the technical skills of applicants.

About the Client

Note: The project description is real, but we can't disclose
the name of our client due to a confidentiality agreement.

The agricultural-based startup operates in France and is focused on becoming a pioneer in automating agronomy operations. It advanced its goal by employing Artificial Intelligence (AI) for maintenance and surveillance.

Manual labor work was replaced by robots to analyze crop fields' health, growth status, and cultivation problems. The robots were trained using manual markers to understand different field sections, collect and store crop data, and report back.

Project Duration:

More than 6 months

The Challenge

As agriculture and farming feature no room for error or delays, businesses in the industry continue to look for ways to better manage risk in harvesting.

The client aimed to automate its manual operations to the maximum to support fast decision-making during peak farming season and rising consumer demand. However, each harvesting season is challenged by climate change, increasing consumer demands and expectations, quality protocols, biodiversity loss, poor terrain, workforce shortage, etc.

Each farming challenge required steadfast supervision of factors of production and rapid decision-making to counter crises. The client needed to put their trust in high-end developers who could efficiently connect their AI surveillance functionality to an actionable module.

Proposed Solution

Idea Concept: Knowing is better than hoping.

TheHexaTown developed a web-based dashboard for automating and monitoring the agricultural startup's crop health and growth in real-time.

Our team established a highly functional and scalable yet easy-to-use dashboard, which was then integrated with the AI robot surveillance system for monitoring.

The Highlight of the Web-Based Dashboard

Idea Concept: Everybody deserves a fair chance.

Real-Time Map

Allowing the client to observe each robot`s location while they scanned the field to monitor crop status.

iPad and Tablet Compatibility

Enabling the client to view the dashboard insights on large screens and tablets.

Cloud Infrastructure

Facilitating the client in enhancing maintainability (when needed) in terms of features up-gradation/scalability, and data storage/analysis.

Actionable Module

Encouraging the client to take fast actions from a tablet to run smooth operations - whether it be approving a field for harvest or sharing real-time data among various teams and departments.

The Results

Before

The agricultural startup wanted to see real-time updates regarding healthy crop fields operations and indications, but dependency on manual labour and human error limited their decision-making power. This resulted in sensitive time wasted in generating reports and analyzing data.

After

With the help of a software partner, the client's limitations turned into its strengths. The agricultural startup enjoyed minimal roadblocks to decision-making with the web-based dashboard fit to client specifications, welcoming healthy luscious crop fields, no matter what the risk.

The agricultural startup found a software partner in our TheHexaTown that led their team on a mission to better yield production with minimal human effort & maximum certainty - and succeeded. Implementing a web-based dashboard to startup's operations seemed like a viable solution to counter all prevalent challenges.
