// Farm Manager

The operating layer between the farmer and the robot.

Farm Manager turns farm knowledge into repeatable autonomous work — so the SwarmBot understands the paddock the way you do.

// The Problem

Translating autonomy.

Most farm software stores information. Most autonomous systems move machines. But real farming requires something in between.

The robot might drive itself, but someone still has to tell it:

  • Where the real fence line is
  • Where it can safely operate
  • Where the nozzles should turn on and off
  • How to handle roads, gates, obstacles, grass strips and contour banks
  • Which headlands to run
  • Which AB lines to follow
  • Which robots and implements are working in each paddock
  • How the farmer actually wants the job done

Without that operating layer, autonomy becomes another setup burden.

The farmer knows the paddock. The robot knows how to drive. Farm Manager connects the two.

// The Solution

Autonomy that works the way farmers farm.

Instead of treating a paddock as a simple boundary on a map, Farm Manager lets farmers turn what they know into repeatable autonomous work.

  1. Step 01
    Import mapped fields and AB lines
  2. Step 02
    Define geofences, operating areas and green areas
  3. Step 03
    Align SwarmBots to existing wheel tracks and precision ag systems
  4. Step 04
    Configure robots, implements, subfields and working widths
  5. Step 05
    Build spray, planting or mowing plans around real-world paddock conditions
  6. Step 06
    Simulate the job before the robot starts
  7. Step 07
    Send machine-ready geometry to the SwarmBot
  8. Step 08
    Review job history, usage and performance over time
// The result
  • Less setup friction
  • More confidence in the job plan
  • More control over where the robot drives and works
  • Fewer surprises in the paddock
  • A stronger foundation for future farm data, chemical tracking and as-applied insights

Because autonomy only works when the robot understands the farm.

// Messaging Pillars

Five things Farm Manager
gets right.

Pillar 01

Set the paddock up right

Every paddock has its own way of being worked. Fence lines, gates, roads, wheel tracks, grass strips, trees, contour banks, awkward corners and areas you do not want sprayed.

Farm Manager helps farmers set the paddock up properly before the robot goes to work. It takes what the farmer already knows about the field and turns it into clear instructions the robot can follow.

Farm Manager translates it from just a set of geometries into like a real world.
// Supporting proof
  • Imports mapped fields and boundaries from Paddock Mapper
  • Brings in AB lines and field geometry
  • Defines geofences, operating areas and spray areas
  • Maps roads, gates, obstacles and crossing points
  • Matches the right robot and implement width to each paddock
  • Turns paddock knowledge into robot-ready work instructions
Pillar 02

Work the paddock your way

Farmers know the best way to run their own paddocks — where to start, where to turn, which way to run, how to handle awkward corners, and when only part of a paddock needs doing.

Farm Manager does not force farmers into a generic software plan. It lets them tell the robot to work the paddock the same way they would.

// Supporting proof
  • Custom headland and AB line planning
  • Flexible path planning around trees, obstacles and irregular paddocks
  • Subfields for different implements, widths or operating areas
  • Ability to run only part of a paddock
  • Simulation before the job starts
  • Farmer-controlled setup instead of one-size-fits-all automation
Pillar 03

Get robots working sooner

Autonomy only pays when the robot is in the paddock doing the job.

Farm Manager makes it easier to go from a mapped paddock to a working robot. Farmers can set up the field, choose the robot, match the implement, check the plan and send the job without turning it into a complicated precision ag project.

It took us 10 minutes to make this field with all the different geometries that you need… and it just went in there and started running.
// Supporting proof
  • One-click export from Paddock Mapper into Farm Manager
  • Quick field setup from existing mapped boundaries
  • Robot and implement assignment during setup
  • Alignment with existing wheel tracks from systems like John Deere and Trimble
  • Fast plan creation for spraying, planting and other applications
  • Proven in the BEX planting demo — a complex field set up in roughly 10 minutes
Pillar 04

Know it will do the job properly

Farmers do not want to babysit a robot. They want to know it will stay where it should, spray where it should, avoid what it should, and stop doing the wrong thing before it becomes a problem.

Farm Manager gives farmers the control to set the rules before the job starts, so the robot can work with more confidence and fewer surprises.

// Supporting proof
  • Geofences define true no-go boundaries
  • Operating areas define where the robot works
  • Spray areas define where nozzles turn on
  • Grass strips and non-target areas can be protected
  • Roads and crossings help robots move between paddocks
  • Action areas can adjust speed, fence-line nozzles, section control and path tolerance
  • Farmers can teach the robot how to behave in specific places
Pillar 05

See what got done

At the end of the job, farmers need more than a robot that says it finished. They need to know where it worked, how long it ran, what rate was applied, how much area was covered, and how the robot performed.

Farm Manager is becoming the record of autonomous work on the farm. Today it shows robot usage, job history, working hours, target rates and machine performance. Over time it becomes the place where coverage maps, weed maps, chemical records, AutoFill data and cost-of-operation insights come together.
