What HydroNeo Solves

Four Outcomes.
One System.

Every feature maps at least to one of these four outcomes. If it doesn't move one of them, it doesn't make it into the system.

Risk Management

Catch oxygen crashes and pH fluctuations before they hurt your stock. Stable water conditions mean lower disease risk, and 24/7 alerts replace 24/7 worry.

Operational Effectiveness

Replace paper records, scattered chats, and manual follow-ups with one shared operating system. Every action is logged, every task is visible, and every team member is accountable.

Financial Performance

Track the KPIs that drive profitability per pond, like FCR and survival rate, while energy spend falls and margins rise. You see how every pond is performing now, instead of finding out at harvest.

Sustainability

30% less energy. Less feed waste. Verifiable welfare and traceability, your license to operate in modern supply chains.

The Reality of Farming Without Data

Most Pond Losses Happen
Before You Notice.

Aquaculture runs on thin margins in unforgiving conditions. By the time stock looks distressed, the damage is usually already done, and the wasted electricity, feed, and treatment costs have been quietly piling up for weeks.
Manual checks assume stability between measurements. Pond chemistry doesn't.

Manual checks assume stability between measurements. Pond chemistry doesn't.

Stock Stressed by Water Quality Swings

DO crashes and pH swings both stress stock, and stressed animals are more vulnerable to disease. Manual checks miss the fluctuations that happen between readings. Continuous monitoring catches them early, so you can stabilize conditions before stress turns into losses.

Energy Wasted on Over-Aeration

Aerators run on schedules, not science. Most farms over-aerate by 30%+, paying for electricity that does nothing for the stock.

Oversight Lost to Notebooks and Chat Groups

On most farms, water readings, feeding, treatments, and harvest plans are spread across notebooks and chat groups. No one has a clear, current overview, and the team works from different versions of events. With every record in one shared place, the whole team stays aligned and the full picture is always one tap away.

Cut Off From the Right Buyers

Buyers place urgent orders with farms they can reach, and premium buyers increasingly ask how stock is raised. Without a connected operation, you stay invisible and take whatever the local market offers. HarvestConnect matches live buyer demand with your ongoing production, and FAI Shrimp Welfare helps you show how your stock is raised.

The usual farm scenario

Low oxygen can hit during the day or overnight. The pond may look calm until the response is already late.

Daytime · Plankton Crash 1:00 PM
After days of bright sun, a heavy bloom collapses. Oxygen production stops and decaying plankton consume what is left fast.
2:30 PM
DO falls below 3 mg/L. The pond looks calm from the bank.
3:30 PM
Shrimp crowd the surface and pond edges and stop feeding.
5:00 PM
Spotted at the afternoon check. Too late for the worst pond.
Overnight · Silent Aerator Failure 1:40 AM
An aerator's drive shaft breaks. The motor keeps running, so from the bank it looks fine, but the paddles have stopped and no oxygen is entering the water.
2:30 AM
DO falls below 3 mg/L. No one is awake to see it.
4:00 AM
Shrimp crowd the surface and edges. Stress sets in.
6:45 AM
Crew finds the dead aerator at dawn. Mortality already underway.
With HydroNeo
As DO falls, standby aerators start automatically before anyone has to step in. If oxygen still doesn't recover, the team gets an app notification and an on-site siren goes off to wake the farm, even if phones are off. Either way, the response happens in minutes, while the failed motor is still spinning.

1,300 tests. That's how many times Aqua Pharma validated HydroNeo DO sensor accuracy before fully trusting HydroNeo data. The results from our Indonesia farm gave us full confidence that this system was built to a standard we could stand behind scientifically. What sealed it was HydroNeo's openness to improve alongside us throughout the entire testing process.

Parameters We Monitor

Every Number That Affects Your Stock

HydroNeo's sensor stack covers the parameters that actually move the needle on your stock, validated across hundreds of commercial ponds before being shipped to your farm.

Built to Expand

The Mini Controller Pro is built to grow. New sensors can be integrated, and once the firmware is published, every Mini Controller in the field gains them through an over-the-air update. No new hardware, no farm visit. New features and hardware modules roll out the same way, so the system you install today keeps getting more capable over time.

Dissolved Oxygen

The #1 killer when it drops. Continuous monitoring with automatic aeration response.

Pond Water Temperature

Drives growth and metabolism. Tracked alongside DO for accurate readings.

pH Level

Imbalance stresses stock and disrupts growth cycles. Replaceable digital electrode.

Air Humidity

Above-water environment shapes oxygen demand. Tracked by the Micro-Climate Sensor.

Light Intensity

Drives photosynthesis and bloom dynamics. 0 to 65,535 lux from the Micro-Climate Sensor.

Air Temperature

Anticipate water temperature shifts before they reach the pond floor.

Feed Level

Ultrasonic measurement of pellet level in silos and hoppers. Never run out mid-feed.

Why HydroNeo

Built for the Field.
Not for the Brochure.

We built HydroNeo on a real commercial farm, not in a lab. Every feature exists because a real farmer needed it. After years in the field, three things consistently make the difference between a system that sits in a box and one that actually runs your farm.

Self-Install in Under an Hour

Self-Install in Under an Hour

No electricians means no extra cost. No IT team, no site visits required. The Mini Controller ships ready to install, and farmers across Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, and beyond have set it up themselves in under 60 minutes following the same step-by-step guide. If they can do it, so can you.

Real People. Three Languages.

Real People. Three Languages.

When you need help, you reach a real person, not a chatbot. Our support team speaks Thai, English, and Bahasa Indonesia, reachable via direct message and phone call. No bots. Just people who understand farming.

Built for Farmers, Not Engineers

Built for Farmers, Not Engineers

FarmOS was designed around how farmers actually work, on a phone, in a hurry, in the field. Pond status, alerts, feeding logs, and motor control all in one place. As intuitive as the apps you already use every day.
