Modernizing Agricultural Practices and Production
Agriculture is under pressure to produce more with less—less energy, less water, and under a tighter budget—all while managing aging infrastructure and rising operational risks. Most farms still rely on analog systems and time-based maintenance, leaving them blind to inefficiencies and vulnerable to costly downtime.
Today’s farms need continuous visibility, predictive maintenance, and intelligent control to optimize every asset—across fields, facilities, and energy systems.
Grow Smarter. Stay Resilient.
End-to-End Energy and Asset Management to Maximize Farm Performance and Uptime
Keyfive empowers agricultural operators to monitor and manage energy and equipment performance across the entire farm. From power generation to storage and field operations, our platform uses AI and digital twins to detect issues early, reduce downtime, and optimize productivity—ensuring every asset contributes to a healthier, more efficient system.

Machine learning algorithms ingest telemetry from irrigation schedules, production cycles, battery charge levels, and grid pricing to optimize when and how energy is used. Keyfive’s energy intelligence system automatically prioritizes high-demand loads for off-peak times or renewable surpluses—lowering operational costs and extending equipment life.
-
Keyfive solutions can be retrofitted onto virtually any physical system—pumps, machinery, or even animals. Applying advanced digital technologies in this way, allows farmers and operators to collect and analyze data and optimize operations across agricultural practices in real-time.
For example, digital twin-guided irrigation has demonstrated water savings of 20-30% compared to traditional methods.

With a virtual model of each system, operators can simulate different control strategies before applying them live. Real-time simulations have been proven to enhance and tailor decision-making according to specific goals: yield maximation, input conservation, or emissions reduction.
-
Keyfive’s platform enables secure, remote oversight of agricultural energy and equipment systems—bringing continuous insight into operational health, even in remote or infrastructure-poor environments. Through a resilient mix of edge gateways, sensor retrofits, and cloud analytics, Keyfive empowers producers to identify problems before they impact production.
Case Study:
Revolutionizing Livestock Management
Through a university-led research initiative, Keyfive deployed its digital twin platform to monitor animal health in real-time to maintain optimal herd health.
By integrating environmental data, temperature readings, breed-specific traits, and veterinary history, the system proactively monitored individual animal health and location, leading to:
Decreased mortality rates by more than 80%:
Reduced pharmaceutical reliance;
Improved animal health, resulting in zero fatalities among calves.
