# AI-Powered Farming Platforms The Farmblox Farm Automation Platform Monitors Conditions By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2024-07-23 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/farm-automation-platform References: [techcrunch](https://techcrunch.com/2024/07/23/farmblox-puts-the-control-into-farmers-hands-with-its-ai-powered-sensor-reading-platform/) & [farmblox.ag](https://www.farmblox.ag)  The [Farmblox](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monitoring-system) farm automation platform is an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered solution for use in farming scenarios to provide administrators with the ability to help maximize their yield. The system incorporates a solar-powered connected monitor that can be hooked up to third-party sensors already in use, which will enable them to track soil moisture levels, water waste and more. The data collected through the system will enable farmers to keep an eye on things from anywhere and take a few things off their to-do list to help focus on other tasks. Founder Nathan Rosenberg commented on the Farmblox farm automation platform to [TechCrunch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rocket-launches) saying, "We are building tools around not just monitoring and giving real-time data to the farmer but really connecting that with automation flows to create new and exciting bundles of solutions that they can deploy on the farm."
