Ask any insect farmer what’s hardest about scaling, and the answer probably isn’t bugs—it’s data.
As farms grow, spreadsheets break. Critical insights get buried. Tracking environmental fluctuations, feed rates, and labor inputs becomes chaotic.
Most of this is inaccessible—or invisible—without Hexapod software..
Insects Are Biological Systems. Your Data Should Act Like One Too.
Bug Mars was built to capture, structure, and analyze the complex signals inside your insect farm.
- Environmental metrics: temperature, airflow, CO₂ levels
- Production data: feed conversion ratios, substrate inputs, recipes, and levels
- Behavioral signals: motion tracking and zone-level analysis
- Activity logs: shift records, maintenance events, and more
- Access permissions: who changed what, when, and why
Most software stops at dashboards. Ours goes deeper. We are turning messy data into usable patterns that help farms scale.
Why This Data Matters
When farms track these metrics in real time:
- Labor drops—fewer inputs for higher outputs
- Traceability improves—compliance and certifications get easier
- Consistency rises—less guesswork, more growth
- Anomalies get caught early—before they become problems
That’s the difference between running an insect colony… and running a business.
Smart Farms Don’t Just Grow Bugs. They Grow Insights.
Hexapod doesn’t just plug into your sensors. It learns from your operation and every farm on our platform. That means better benchmarking, smarter alerts, and—eventually—predictive recommendations.
It’s a feedback loop: more farms, more data, better outcomes.
It’s Your Data, Locked and Logged
With our granular permissions system, you control who can enter data, who can view it, and who can’t touch a thing. That means:
- Technicians log what they see
- Managers approve what gets done
- Auditors review without editing
This is how serious insect farms stay compliant, scalable, and audit-ready.
We're not just a SaaS platform. We’re building the largest proprietary dataset in the world focused on insect farming operations.
This means we’re not just helping farms today—we're building predictive infrastructure for the entire industry tomorrow.
