FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Lincoln, NE and Fairmont, MN
RealmFive announced a new data integration with Kahler Automation’s Constellation® software platform, giving joint customers the ability to view fertilizer inventory data from their Kahler Automation system directly within RealmFive’s SMARTSITES platform alongside their broader site data.
The integration enables customers running Kahler Automation systems to stream fertilizer inventory and operational data from Constellation into SMARTSITES, creating a consolidated operational view across individual facilities and multi-site networks. Rather than switching between disconnected tools, teams can access Kahler Automation data in the same environment as RealmFive automation, monitoring, analytics, and SMARTSITES data solutions.
By aggregating Constellation data with RealmFive’s broader automation ecosystem, SMARTSITES enables customers to correlate inventory positions and site conditions in real time. This unified view improves decision making without the need to purchase duplicate monitoring equipment.
SMARTSITES is designed to serve as the operational intelligence layer across complex, mixed-vendor facilities. With the addition of Kahler Automation’s Constellation data, RealmFive extends SMARTSITES’ role as the system of record for automation-driven operations. Customers can standardize dashboards, notifications, and reporting without disrupting how their underlying automation systems are configured or operated.
“Kahler Automation has a strong footprint in fertilizer blending operations, and Constellation is a platform that enables data sharing,” said Steve Tippery, CEO of RealmFive. “This integration is about meeting customers where they are and giving them a unified way to see everything that is happening at their sites. SMARTSITES ties automation, data, and operations together.”
“Integrating Constellation data into RealmFive’s SMARTSITES platform gives joint customers a unified view of their automation and operational data,” said Colt Silvers, VP of Business Development at Kahler Automation. “By breaking down data silos, this partnership helps customers make faster, more consistent decisions and maximize the value of their automation investments.”
Product Availability
The data integration is available to joint customers as of January 15, 2026 and can be deployed without disrupting existing Constellation or SMARTSITES configurations. Through the integration, customers can access inventory and operational data within both Kahler Automation’s Constellation platform and RealmFive’s SMARTSITES environment.
