Descrizione del progetto
Sistema di monitoraggio del benessere degli animali
Gli allevatori di suini usano da tempo medicine preventive, compresi gli antibiotici, per ridurre la diffusione delle malattie e aumentare la produttività. In base ai dati generali disponibili, almeno il 70 % degli antibiotici viene utilizzato nella produzione animale e solo il 30 % per curare l’uomo. Di conseguenza, gli antibiotici non sono efficaci per curare gli esseri umani perché erano comunemente usati in precedenza nelle fattorie. ThermoEye offre un’innovazione rivoluzionaria. Anni di verifiche hanno portato a un dispositivo di monitoraggio della temperatura che rileva l’insorgenza della febbre, consentendo agli agricoltori di proteggere le loro mandrie in modo ecologico e riducendo significativamente l’uso di antibiotici. ThermoEye si basa sull’uso di una rete di sensori bolometrici economici. L’investimento nel prodotto viene ripagato in meno di 18 mesi, consentendo ai clienti di gustare carne di maiale senza antibiotici. Il dispositivo è in linea con la recente legislazione dell’UE che vieta l’uso preventivo di antibiotici fino al 2022.
Obiettivo
The global pork market is worth over €100B. The pigs’ breeders use preventive drugs to reduce risk of illnesses spreading and to increase their profits by 10%. Only in Poland farmers use yearly over 580 tons of pure antibiotics, which we later consume in meat or which pollute the environment causing antimicrobial resistance. Research shows that 80% of drugs are applied to animals therefore the probability that a given bacteria is immune to human drugs is very high. Officially more than 46% pig's farms used the preventive medicines (unofficial data shows that the number is twice higher). Additionally there is a lack of qualified veterinarians on the market who could monitor the farms. Until know there were no complex solution which address these challenges.
ThermoEye is game changing innovation. After two years of experiments our engineers have designed a distributed, contactless IoT system for temperature monitoring based on cheap bolometric sensors (currently TRL7 with real tests). ThermoEye detects fever at early stage and helps farmers to protect herds in alternative, ecological friendly way without preventive antibiotics. The farmers' investment in ThermoEye returns in 18 months. The end customers receive antibiotic-free pork, and the vets obtains new tools for herd monitoring. Moreover we provide the statistical analysis for researchers. ThermoEye is a WIN-WIN-WIN solution for stakeholders providing income of €1/pig/month for our company. There are above 760M over the world. Smart Soft Solutions team has started in Poland, but we would like to be a global company. We won several competitions like MIT EF, Young in Lodz, EIT Food and we have seed investors on board who evaluated our product and business model. We presented our solution in Dubai, Bucharest, Hannover and other fairs to create book of orders. First sales was done last month.
Recently EU Parliament banned preventive antibiotics usage since 2022 and it will strongly supports our company mission.
