Hog farmers needed a better way to monitor and manage the sorting process without constant on-site presence. By leveraging innovative technology, we delivered a solution that enhanced efficiency, improved peace of mind, and provided actionable insights—all remotely.
To address these challenges, we implemented a cutting-edge system that provided farmers with remote access and control. Data was collected directly from PLCs and published to a secure, private cloud environment. This enabled the creation of dedicated dashboards for each farm site, accessible from any device. These dashboards allowed farmers to monitor operations in real time and adjust sorting parameters remotely through intuitive, user-friendly interfaces. Leveraging open-source software, we delivered the entire solution at zero software cost, ensuring affordability. Furthermore, the system was designed to automatically scale to incorporate new sorters, requiring only basic configuration to add them.
Our solution brought significant benefits to hog farmers, transforming the way they managed their operations. With 24/7 visibility, farmers could monitor their farm’s performance at any time and from anywhere, providing unparalleled peace of mind. They could now control sorting processes from their smartphones or computers, eliminating the need for on-site adjustments and saving valuable time. By aggregating data from all sorters into a single web app, farmers gained a unified view of their operations, enhancing decision-making capabilities. Historical data became easily accessible, enabling performance analysis and strategic planning. The system’s scalability and cost-effectiveness, achieved without requiring PLC program changes, ensured long-term sustainability. This modernized approach empowered farmers to manage their operations with greater efficiency and confidence.
By applying a first principles approach, we design systems that integrate seamlessly into your existing architecture—minimizing disruption, reducing complexity, and delivering lasting value without the need for costly overhauls.
