The science behind it

One model that sees your whole field at once.

Most systems look at one thing at a time: satellite in one place, weather in another, soil in a separate spreadsheet. Loomin brings every signal into a single line of reasoning — so it can explain why a plot will yield what it yields, not just hand you a number.

The concept

Why integrating everything matters

A plot’s yield doesn’t hinge on one variable. It depends on dozens that interact: the soil in that micro-site, how much it rained in the last 30 days, whether the field technician’s photo shows yellowing, how that plot responded last cycle. Look at them separately and you lose exactly what matters — how they relate.

Traditional approach
One model per data source, results stitched together by hand

One model reads the satellite, another the weather, another the soil. Someone combines the outputs in a spreadsheet, with no view of how they relate.

satellite · weather · soil → combine by hand → number without context
Loomin
One model that sees everything together and reasons through the relationships

A physical crop model sets the agronomic baseline. On top of it, a model that integrates imagery, text and time series reads how the signals for that plot interact.

everything at once → reasons through interactions → forecast + explanation + impact
The data sources

Six sources feed the model

Each one captures something the others can’t. The intelligence is in how they combine.

01

Satellite imagery

Images of your field every 5 days at 10 m resolution. The model reads the full spectral bands — not just crop vigor (NDVI), but also chlorophyll, leaf moisture and heat stress.

02

Field technician photos

Your field technician sends a photo from the field over Telegram — no new app. The model picks up pest symptoms, nutritional status and plant-level anomalies the satellite can’t see.

03

Historical weather and forecast

Plot-level time series and a 16-day forecast. Temperature, rainfall, humidity, solar radiation and wind, tied to the crop’s growth stage.

04

Soil and fertilization

pH, N-P-K, organic matter and conductivity, plus your application history. The model links which inputs produced which results, cycle after cycle.

Your cycle history

Every recorded harvest becomes part of the plot’s memory: how that soil, that variety and that microclimate responded in past years.

Already have weather stations, soil sensors or an ERP? We connect them. The model weighs your local data above regional data.

From field to model

What the field technician sees, captured once

Your field technician sends a photo or a note from the field over Telegram. Loomin understands it, turns it into structured data and updates the plot’s forecast — instantly, with no forms and no new hardware.

The process

How the forecast sharpens, week by week

The forecast isn’t a fixed number. It starts as a wide range and narrows every time new information comes in — until you’re deciding on real data, not a hunch.

Week −12Start of cycle
First baseline estimate

It starts from the area’s historical weather, the physical crop model and the plot’s past yields. Wide range, right direction.

Week −8First images
Observed crop vigor narrows the range

The first satellite images show the crop’s actual condition. The model adjusts for observed vs. expected vigor. If there’s an anomaly, the first field technician photo comes in.

Soil, fertilization and actual weather

Application records, an updated soil analysis and the actual weather of recent weeks allow fine-tuning. The model checks whether fertilization had the expected effect.

Final range · decide with confidence

With every source integrated, the range converges early enough to adjust logistics, renegotiate transport and plan the harvest. The financial module calculates your margin at that point.

Bar widths illustrate the concept: how much the range narrows depends on the crop and the quality of your data. In the demo, we show you the expected range for your operation.
Continuous improvement

The model learns from every harvest

Every completed cycle becomes data for your operation. The model doesn’t just forecast — it gets more accurate for your specific plot over time.

Cycle 1 · Launch
Global baseline

The first cycle uses the crop’s parameters plus whatever data is available for your area. Working forecasts from day one.

widest range
Cycles 2–3 · Adaptation
Your specific plot

The model has now seen how that soil, that variety and that microclimate respond. The correlations become specific to your operation.

range narrows
Cycle 4+ · Maturity
High accuracy

After enough cycles, the model knows your operation’s unique patterns better than any global parameter.

tightest range
How fast it improves depends on how many full cycles you record and on data quality. We don’t promise fixed figures: we show you the expected range for your case.
The foundations

Real science, no hype

We don’t reinvent crop physics or promise magic. We combine sources and models you can audit — and we tell you where every number comes from.

Satellite imagery ESA Copernicus

The European Space Agency’s Sentinel-2 program: 13 bands at 10 m, a 5-day revisit, open and permanent access. The same source governments rely on.

Reference biophysical models 60+ countries

Crop growth simulation follows the same standards used by universities and agronomic research institutes in more than 60 countries, calibrated to conditions in the region.

Multimodal model + your data private

On top of the physics, one model integrates imagery, text and time series into a single line of reasoning. Your data stays yours: it isn’t shared or used to train generic models, and you can export it anytime.

“When a number comes from a default value rather than your own analysis, we tell you. When we don’t know, we say so.”

No recommendation is presented with more certainty than the evidence supports. Data honesty isn’t a feature: it’s how we work.

In 30 minutes, we’ll show you which sources we have for your area and what accuracy range you can expect — using your plots, not a sample.
