Satellite solutions for agriculture and mining

How the satellite and AI stack works

Every one of our satellite solutions for agriculture and mining runs the same sequence. You give us a boundary. We pull the satellite archive for it, add each new image as satellites pass over, turn the raw bands into indices and layers, and run models that turn those layers into something you can act on. What changes from product to product is which satellites matter, which layers we compute and what question the model answers.

On a farm, we read every 10 meters of the field from optical and radar satellites. Radar keeps the record going when cloud, smoke or haze block the optical view. The images become 16 views of the field, including NDVI, NDRE, evapotranspiration, radar soil moisture and soil organic carbon, and our models combine them with weather and crop stage to give six answers: crop health, water need in mm per day for the next seven days, soil condition, a yield estimate with harvest date, pest and disease risk, and a fertilizer dose for five nutrients.

On a mining license, we combine eight sensor families, from optical and SWIR imagery to radar, thermal, terrain, magnetics, hydrology and land cover, and add hyperspectral data when a mineral needs narrow bands. A zone ranks high only when independent evidence agrees. The result is a ranked set of Exploration Targets with the location, depth and estimated quantity of each zone, to be used ahead of a JORC or NI 43-101 resource estimate.

Which agriculture solution fits your problem

Start from the decision you need to make. That points to the right one of our agritech solutions faster than reading the product list.

Growers and farm managers

If the question is which part of which field needs attention, start with satellite crop monitoring. If you want amounts, such as millimeters of water and kilograms of fertilizer per field, add the JEEVN AI farm advisory. Farms that run their own tractors and trucks can link them to the same crop data with fleet management.

Agribusinesses and plantations

Companies with many plots and field staff usually pair monitoring with the Agro Admin app, which assigns tasks and shows what's done, pending or late. Estates in fire country add wildfire monitoring for alerts inside their boundary.

Lenders and insurers

Crop loan and insurance tools give yield predictions, farm-level risk profiles built from crop history, weather and field condition, and checks on land and claim data, for use before a loan goes out or a claim is paid.

Food brands, traders and exporters

Product traceability maps source plots, checks them for deforestation against the EUDR cutoff and links each lot to its plots on a blockchain ledger. Teams reporting on sustainability can add carbon footprinting for soil organic carbon maps and baseline emissions.

Developers and agtech companies

The agriculture data API takes a field boundary and returns all 16 views, their values and the field report as JSON. Seven partners already run Farmonaut under their own brand.

Which mining solution fits your problem

License holders and exploration companies

Satellite mineral detection is a report on your license. You send the boundary and target minerals, and we deliver ranked targets in under 5 days. The Premium tier covers ranked targets, a prospectivity heatmap, structural and lithological mapping, confidence tiers and indicative economics. Premium+ adds drilling angles and depths, a 3D subsurface model, an economic block model, a conceptual pit shell and P10/P50/P90 estimates. Clients report saving USD 25,000 to 100,000 and up to 6 months per license.

Geologists and consultants

Farmonaut Mining Pro is browser-based exploration software with nine tools, from a 2D map to block models, mine plans and economics, with exports to Leapfrog, Vulcan, Surpac and Datamine. More than 100 mining businesses in 25+ countries use it.

Investors

If you're weighing a stake in a license, a report on that ground gives you an independent view of where the strongest targets are, with confidence tiers and indicative economics. It's an early screen ahead of a JORC or NI 43-101 resource estimate and a site visit, and doesn't replace either. Our mining case studies show what past reports looked like.

How the solutions combine

Agricultural solutions share one field record, so a plot mapped for one product is ready in the others. Some combinations that work well:

Data and delivery formats

For farm products, you add a field by searching an address, drawing it, or uploading a KML, KMZ or shapefile. Results come through the web app, the Android and iOS apps, PDF reports in 248 languages, a share link that opens without a login, and JSON through the API. Wildfire alerts go out by SMS, email, app and API. Traceability adds compliance reports and QR pages, which brands can run under their own name.

For mining, we need the license boundary and the minerals you're after. Reports come as PDF with KML, GeoTIFF and GeoJSON layers, and the results open in Mining Pro. Premium+ adds files for Leapfrog, Vulcan, Surpac and Datamine, and add-ons cover white-label, translation, GIS and CSV delivery, Surpac STR/DTM and DXF/DWG.

Getting started

1. If you farm, open the web app and add one field. The first report comes after the next satellite pass, and plans are priced by area on the pricing page.
2. For agribusiness, lending, traceability, carbon or wildfire projects, talk to our team with your area, crops or commodities, and the decisions you need the data for.
3. Developers can start with the API docs. Credits roll over when 2,470+ acres are kept under watch.
4. For exploration, send your boundary and target minerals through the mining quote form. Projects are quoted by area, minerals and report tier, and multi-license portfolios are delivered in phases.
5. Geologists who want to try the software first can watch the Mining Pro video course, 16 chapters and free to watch.
6. Consultants and agronomists who'd rather refer clients can join the affiliate program.
