Projektbeschreibung
IoT-Gerät für die zuverlässige Überwachung der Tierfuttermenge
Gegenwärtig stellen Lieferanten von Tierfutter für jeden Landwirtschaftsbetrieb Futtermittel her und verteilen es in loser Schüttung, die dann in Silos auf verschiedenen Tierfarmen gelagert werden. Der Mangel an zuverlässigen und kostengünstigen Lösungen zur Fernüberwachung der Futtermittelbestände in den Silos führt jedoch dazu, dass die landwirtschaftlichen Betriebe ihre Bestände manuell schätzen müssen, was zu finanziellen Verlusten führt. Um dieses Problem zu beheben, schlägt das EU-finanzierte Projekt INSYLO ein IoT-Gerät vor, das Hard- und Software kombiniert, um die Futtermittelbestände in den Silos aus der Ferne zu überwachen, die Nachfrage zu prognostizieren und es den Futtermittellieferanten zu ermöglichen, ihre Lieferkette zu optimieren. Das Gerät lässt sich in nur fünf Minuten installieren und ist mit einer cloudbasierten intelligenten Plattform verbunden, die Daten von Hunderttausenden Silos sammelt.
Ziel
Animal feed is produced by feed suppliers in feed mills, and distributed in bulk to different animal farms, where it is stored in silos. Feed has to be produced ad-hoc for each farmer, and delivered in 24-48h.
Each feed supplier is the provider for several silos from several farms (the top 50 EU feed suppliers manage on average 7,500 silos each). They receive daily hundreds of refilling orders whose logistics have to be optimized in a short time. However, the lack of reliable and cost-effective solutions to remotely monitor the silo’s feed stock hinders the optimization: most farmers assess it manually, provoking (i) inaccurate measures (trucks over or under loaded) and (ii) uncertainty on the demand (feed suppliers cannot organize production cycles or the raw materials purchase based on a cost-effectiveness criteria). As a result, there is yearly losses of 500€ per silo (equivalent to 400M€ in the EU28).
INSYLO turns the situation around and provides the sector with an accurate and cost-effective solution to monitor remotely the silos’ feed stock levels, forecast the feed demand and allow feed suppliers to optimize inventories, production batches, delivery routes and raw materials purchases.
INSYLO is a smart service that combines hardware and software. Through our unique smart volumetric sensor, we obtain an accurate measure of the silos' feedstock levels at a very low cost (6.5 cheaper than competitors). Our IoT device can be installed in only 5 minutes and it is fully independent of the farm’s resources (off-grid, solar energy, own Internet connectivity). Furthermore, it is connected to our smart platform on the cloud, which leverages the power of Big Data and Artificial Intelligence to collect data from hundreds of thousands of silos and decide the right moment and quantity to restock each silo, optimising the whole feed supply chain. We will sell in the first five years more than 100,000 devices, capturing a market share of 2.13% of the 5M silos worldwide.
