SMART FARM

What SMART FARM does

SMART FARM (ООО СМАРТФАРМ) is a Russian agtech company founded in 2021 in Innopolis, Republic of Tatarstan, that builds a computer vision and AI-based ecosystem for digitalizing dairy farm operations. The platform consists of six modular applications — KORMOVOY STOL (Feed Table), IDENTIFIKATSIYA (Identification), KHROMOTA (Lameness), UPTANNOST (Fatness), RUTINA DOENIYA (Milking Routine), and RODILNOYE OTDELENIYE (Birthplace/Maternity) — unified in a single web and mobile application. The proprietary technology stack uses computer vision over farm video streams to identify cattle visually with 99.6% accuracy without wearable devices, perform body condition scoring and lameness detection, monitor feed availability via autonomous robots that construct 3D feed table models, and audit milking and calving routines for protocol compliance. The system integrates with incumbent herd management and milking equipment software via APIs.

The company operates on a B2B sales-led go-to-market model targeting enterprise dairy farms in Russia, supplemented by a channel partner / dealer recruitment program. Revenue is generated through per-module implementation fees (750,000 to 1,500,000 rubles) plus annual recurring license fees (100 to 250 rubles per monitoring object, billed per head, feed passage, milking hall, or barn), with hardware calculated and sold separately. Required modules (Identification) create bundled adoption pathways. The company is privately held, has invested 75+ million rubles of its own capital into product development from 2021-2023, and entered the Russian Software Registry (No. 20743) in December 2023. As of 2024, the company reported first commercial deployments of its Feed Table and Identification modules, with CEO Sergey Ryukhov leading a team described as 8-15 specialists combining IT and animal husbandry expertise. Revenue is not disclosed and the company remains in an early commercial stage focused exclusively on the Russian domestic market.

Revenue model

1. Software Licensing: Annual simple license providing non-exclusive right to use the system for 1 year per monitoring object. Implementation fees separate from annual license costs. Pricing varies by module type and is calculated per monitoring object (per head, per feed passage, per milking hall, per barn).
2. Hardware/System Implementation: Hardware part of implementation is calculated individually and provided upon request. Includes installation of cameras, sensors, servers and other equipment for computer vision system deployment.

Core offering

SMART FARM is an intelligent ecosystem for digitalizing dairy farms, built on proprietary computer vision and artificial intelligence. The platform is composed of six purpose-built modules (Feed Table, Identification, Lameness, Fatness, Milking Routine, Birthplace) that are managed through a single unified web and mobile application. The system is supported by proprietary autonomous analytical robots that collect data inside barns around the clock, enabling real-time monitoring, analytics, and integration with dairy herd management and milking equipment systems.

Product overview

SMART FARM is an intelligent ecosystem for digitalizing dairy farms, built on computer vision and artificial intelligence. The platform follows a modular architecture with a core ecosystem and six specialized modules: KORMOVOY STOL (Feed Table) for feeding monitoring and optimization; IDENTIFIKATSIYA (Identification) for animal recognition without wearables; KHROMOTA (Lameness) for early lameness detection; UPTANNOST (Fatness) for body condition scoring; RUTINA DOENIYA (Milking Routine) for milking process control; and RODILNOYE OTDELENIYE (Birthplace) for maternity ward monitoring. All modules are managed through a single unified web and mobile application, with real-time data collection and analytics powered by autonomous robots and AI.

Products and services

• SMART FARM Ecosystem Intelligent ecosystem platform for digitalizing dairy farms using computer vision and AI, comprising six specialized modules (Feed Table, Identification, Lameness, Fatness, Milking Routine, Birthplace) unified within a single web and mobile application for commercial dairy farm operators.
• KORMOVOY STOL (Feed Table) Module Real-time monitoring of feed availability and consumption, feeding schedule compliance (time, distribution weights, cleaning), and feed pushing quality, using autonomous robots and 3D feed table modeling for commercial dairy farms.
• IDENTIFIKATSIYA (Identification) Module Visual animal identification using computer vision and AI without wearable devices, achieving 99.6% accuracy; also provides lameness and body condition assessment for dairy farm operators.
• KHROMOTA (Lameness) Module Computer vision-based locomotion analysis that detects lameness at early stages to reduce premature culling and preserve milk yields by identifying hoof diseases before they become severe. Requires the Identification module for deployment.
• UPTANNOST (Fatness/Body Condition) Module Daily AI-based body condition scoring (BCS) for cattle with automatic alerts when BCS does not match the lactation period, enabling early disease detection and improved herd productivity. Requires the Identification module for deployment.
• RUTINA DOENIYA (Milking Routine) Module Video-analytics-based monitoring of all regulated milking actions from udder preparation to post-milking treatment; detects deviations such as skipped forestripping or missed udder treatment in carousel, herringbone, and parallel milking parlors.
• RODILNOYE OTDELENIYE (Birthplace/Maternity) Module Computer vision-based automation of maternity ward control, monitoring staff compliance with calving protocols, animal welfare, early birth activity identification, automatic prolonged-birth notifications, calf status detection, and hygiene standard monitoring.
