Disruptive IoT solution for optimising the animal feed supply chain

Descripción del proyecto

Un dispositivo de internet de las cosas para un seguimiento fiable del pienso

En la actualidad, los proveedores de piensos los producen para cada ganadero y los distribuyen a granel, para que luego se almacenen en silos en las distintas explotaciones ganaderas. Sin embargo, la falta de técnicas fiables y rentables para controlar a distancia los niveles de existencias de pienso en los silos lleva a los ganaderos a efectuar estimaciones manuales, lo que se traduce en pérdidas económicas. Para resolver este problema, el equipo del proyecto INSYLO, financiado con fondos europeos, propone un dispositivo de internet de las cosas (IdC) que combina «hardware» y «software» para supervisar a distancia los niveles de existencias de pienso en los silos, prever la demanda y facilitar que los proveedores de piensos optimicen su cadena de suministro. El dispositivo se instala en solo cinco minutos y está conectado a una plataforma inteligente basada en la nube que recopila datos de cientos de miles de silos.

Objetivo

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.
