The problem

Informed decisions require accurate and timely information.

Farming is a business of decisions — when to stock, when to treat, when to harvest. Every one of those decisions depends on knowing what's happening in your ponds right now. Without correct and timely diagnostic information, you're guessing. And guessing costs harvests.

The data layer

Every result. Connected.

RAPID test results sync directly into Aotomatic — Forte Biotech's free farm management platform. Log results by pond, track disease history, and share across your team. Available on iOS and Android.

Disease tracking by pond

Every RAPID test result logs automatically — organised by pond, date, and pathogen. Your full farm history in one place.

Spot patterns before they spread

Tracks results across your grow-out cycle and flags when something looks off — before it becomes a loss.

Your farm's AI advisor

Describe what you're seeing. Aotomatic tells you what to do about it — recommendations based on your pond data, disease history, and real farming conditions.

Works in your team's language

Available in Vietnamese, Thai, Bahasa Indonesia, Tagalog, Tamil, Mandarin, Japanese, and more.
