The Problems We Were Built to Solve
Real-world African farming challenges are the blueprint of our platform.
Blind Irrigation: Wasting Thousands of Litres
Most smallholder farms still irrigate on a schedule, not on data. Over-watering wastes water and money. Without real-time data, you’re guessing.
Climate Shocks With No Early Warning
Sudden frost, heat waves or unexpected rain catch farms off-guard. Early alerts give you the hours you need to protect your harvest.
Poor Signal, No Data
Rural African farms often have weak or no cell signal in the field. Our long-range LoRaWAN sensors cover kilometres of farmland from a single gateway, so your data still gets through.
Unsecured Data: Vulnerable Operations
Connected farms are targets for digital threats. We protect your farm’s data and irrigation controls with industrial-grade encryption.
Hidden Soil Health: Declining Yields
Soil pH and EC (salinity) change over time. We give you visibility so you can apply fertiliser precisely where it’s needed.
Water Costs You Can’t See
Most farms don’t know how many litres each irrigation session uses, or what it costs. We track tank levels, flow and pressure so every litre is accounted for.
Our Platform
All your farm tools. One secure platform.
Our sensors feed directly into the MBS SmartFarm Platform: soil moisture, pH, EC and temperature for your land; tank levels, water flow, pressure and cost per irrigation session for your water; location and movement for your livestock (MBS SmartHerd, in pilot); plus live weather data, all tracked in real time. Boost yields, cut costs and gain actionable insights on a secure platform hosted in South Africa.
Up and running in 4 straightforward steps.
We handle the technical complexity so you can focus on farming.
Free Farm Consultation
We visit your farm (or consult remotely) to understand your land, crops, water source and connectivity.
Custom Kit Design
We design a sensor layout and kit configuration specific to your farm’s needs, budget and expansion plans.
Installation & Setup
Our technicians install your sensors and gateway. Your MBS SmartFarm Platform account is configured and tested.
Monitor, Alert, Act
Log in from any device. Get alerts when something needs attention. Your farm data, secured and working for you 24/7.
