Project Objectives

At Infoneo, we partnered with Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) to conceptualize, design, and deliver the BE-AgSmart – eKrishi Digital Agriculture Platform, AI-driven platform (Web & Mobile) designed to automate Farmer Producer Organization (FPO) operations and enhance efficiency. The platform aimed to create a digital ecosystem to support farmers with smart agriculture tools like IoT sensors, weather data, and GIS services.

Our objective was to:
  • Develop a farmer-centric digital ecosystem to enhance procurement, production, and marketing efficiency for Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs) by improving decision-making, mitigating climate impacts, and promoting sustainable growth.
  • Build a Centralized Command and Control Centre (ICCC) for real-time monitoring and decision-making.
  • Use AI/ML and deep learning models for crop health monitoring, groundwater forecasting, and yield estimation.

Our Solutions

Our team at Infoneo delivered a comprehensive solution tailored to the unique needs of farmers, FPOs, and agriculture departments:

Custom Smart FPO Platform

We built user-specific dashboards and modules for Visitors, Sellers, Experts, Farmers, Farm Admins, and Office Users—ensuring seamless communication and role-based functionality.

AI–Powered Demand Aggregation

We implemented Deep Learning and Game Theory models to analyze procurement patterns, aggregate input requirements, and minimize wastage—leading to significant cost savings.

Geospatial Intelligence Layer

Our solution integrates satellite data and GIS mapping to assess crop health, monitor acreage, and provide accurate village-to-district level yield estimates.

Environmental Forecast Models

We built AI models to predict groundwater levels and evapotranspiration, helping farmers with irrigation planning and water conservation.
