Why Wait? Automate What Slows You Down
On every farm, there are small tasks that quietly steal your time and resources — every single day. From walking to open a gate, to restarting a water pump, to replacing tools that should’ve lasted longer. These daily “little things” add up fast.
The good news? You don’t need a massive overhaul to fix them. A few targeted upgrades can save you hours each week and keep your operation running smoother, longer.
Here’s how FarmTech Engineer can help farmers across the Western Cape get more done with less effort.
🐄 Livestock Focused Solutions
✅ Remote Gate and Valve Control (Solar + ESP32)
Control gates and water valves from your phone or a central panel. Powered by solar, controlled by microcontrollers — no trenching or Wi-Fi needed.
✅ Smart Borehole Pump Control
Automate pump start/stop with timers, water level sensors, or remote control. Prevent overflow, save diesel, and integrate with solar.
✅ Automated Feeding, Lighting, or Water Systems
Use simple timers or relays to feed animals, turn on coop lights, or top up water troughs — even when you’re not around.
✅ Generator or Solar System Monitoring with Alerts
Get notified via SMS or WhatsApp when something goes wrong — like your inverter shutting down or generator fuel running low.
🌱 Crop Operation Upgrades
✅ Solar-Powered Electric Fencing
Keep animals safe and predators out with low-maintenance electric fencing powered by the sun — no Eskom connection needed.
✅ Moisture-Sensor Triggered Irrigation
Let your crops decide when they need water. Automated systems activate irrigation only when needed, saving water and electricity.
✅ Tractor Implement Add-ons
Custom control boxes, indicator lights, or ESP32-based monitoring tools for planters, sprayers, and other tractor equipment.
✅ Seed Sorting Tech or Mechanical Tools
Build or improve custom grain/seed sorting solutions using simple mechanical systems or sensor-based tech — no need for imports.
🔧 Workshop, Power, and Automation
✅ 3D-Printed Spares or Machine Modifications
Fast turnaround custom parts — from knobs and covers to brackets and tool holders. Designed and printed to fit your machines exactly.
✅ Off-Grid Solar + Battery Installations
Reliable solar setups for sheds, workshops, or entire homes. Reduce reliance on unreliable grid power and avoid costly generator use.
✅ Linux-Based Control & Monitoring Systems
Use low-power Linux systems like Raspberry Pi or old laptops for smart control, logging, and sensor data display — even offline.
✅ Custom Tool Racks, Shelving & Laser-Cut Panels
Organize your workspace with laser-cut steel or plywood storage systems. Built to fit your space and tools exactly — no more mess.
Start with What’s Bugging You Most
