Farming Technology

See how the technology can help farmers big and small can use reduce labor cost, improve efficiency, control inputs, and test new growing methods

Testing

FarmBot takes care of each plant individually, empowering you to quickly design and run experiments that test various growing methods, input quantities, timing, and more, all at a fraction of the cost. Compared with traditional experimentation, FarmBot has these distinct advantages:

Conduct experiments of any complexity without human error
Quickly and accurately repeat experiments
Run tests 24/7 and monitor the system remotely
Tedious experiments require no additional labor cost
Scale to as many plants as needed
Use the sequence builder instead of checklists
Run more tests with fewer scientists
Test unlimited groups simultaneously (not just A and B)
Systematiclly collect data at a high frequency
Run experiments that are traditionally too labor intensive

Automation

No longer is your growing operation limited to daylight hours or an 8-hour shift. With FarmBot, you can schedule operations to run at all hours of the day, non-stop, to ensure your plants are taken care of in the most optimal way.

Unlike human labor, FarmBot never fatigues, requires breaks, or even needs the sunlight to see what it is doing. Finally, you can get value out of every hour of every day.

Additionally, you can now perform tedious tasks in a cost effective manner, and training new FarmBots is as easy as copy and paste.

Yield, ROI, and Sustainability

One FarmBot Genesis device (1.5m x 3m in area) can continuously grow all of the veggies for one person’s needs while emitting 25% fewer CO2 emissions than standard US veggies. Take FarmBot off-grid and it gets even better.

With a return on investment period between three and five years, FarmBot grown veggies can be an economical alternative in areas suffering from farm labor shortages.

Setup as fast as one hour

What you can grow

FarmBot is well suited to growing a polycrop of many common garden veggies at the same time. Crops we’ve had success with include Bok Choy, Lettuces, Radish, Beets, Chard, Arugula, Broccoli, and much more.

By placing vining and other indeterminate crops near the ends of the bed and training them outwards, you can easily double or triple the area your plants can utilize while still being maintained by the FarmBot.
