Currently, the 3 Annual Programs have been completed with the achievement of 100% of the objectives initially foreseen in the project:

Research on the different enabling technologies applied to the value chain in its different critical points.
Companies Involved: Leche Río, Innogando, Proymaes, Himikode (ITG Subcontractor)
OG2 Evaluation and improvement of these technologies by developing pilot validations among SMEs, research centers and in the tractor company.
Companies Involved: Leche Río, Innogando, Proymaes, Himikode (ITG and USC subcontractors).
OG3 Develop a comprehensive turnkey service that allows control over the impact on the dairy industry value chain including devices for continuous data capture, artificial vision solutions, artificial intelligence, machine learning and blockchain aimed at a digital certification of traceability, and an application aimed at giving value to the data processed at the end customer and distributor.
Companies Involved: Leche Río, Innogando, Himikode (ITG Subcontractor)

More specifically:
– Computer vision models have been developed to detect in the different factory lines whether the labeling of the bottles being packaged corresponds to the executed order. By means of a system of 2 cameras, one for each production line, it is possible to check the quality of the packaging and count the bottles in real time. QR printing integration has been developed at the end of the pilot line.
– The integration of all the data sources that allow monitoring the quality of the milk has been carried out, as well as the digitalization of all the internal processes that the factory workers carry out on a daily basis with respect to quality. In addition, the information to be stored in a blockchain has been designed to provide users with farm-to-table traceability of bottled milk.
– The final application has been developed for the different agents involved (consumer, livestock, industry) connected in real time to the monitoring platform.
– All software solutions implemented and integrated with other external systems (Ligal, Cegacol, Aemet) have been deployed in a system in the cloud of Leche Rio, allowing accessibility of such information 24/7, in this integrated monitoring platform was performed the implementation of predictive algorithms on the information offering Leche Rio a competitive advantage to be able to anticipate the needs of factory.

Milktelligence

Milktelligence addresses the dairy industry’s need to improve productivity through data collection, sensing and visualization of key indicators for the dairy industry. Therefore, this project will mean important advances in stock control in livestock farms, will allow the organization of supply by the company, as well as to relate feed in poor condition with production performance.

This initiative aims to design, develop and validate a new collaborative platform for the primary and secondary sectors that allows, through the design of specific dashboards, agile decision making based on criteria to maximize production performance, animal health and product quality.

Milktelligence is a strategic project promoted by the Galician Food Cluster (Clusaga), involving two technology companies (PS Vet Dairyquality and Innogando) and three food companies (GALACTEUM, Feiraco and Cooperativa Agraria Provincial de A Coruña); and funded under the support program for AEIs of the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Tourism. Its overall objective is to promote competitiveness and the transition to digital leadership in the dairy sector.

Specific objectives of the project

  1. Analyze the needs of dairy farms based on the strategy and market of dairy industries.
  2. Define and install the sensor system for data collection on selected farms
  3. Develop a data collection and analytics platform.
  4. Establish the KPIs of interest for dairy farms and create dashboards using BI to visualize them.
  5. Validate the performance and applicability of dashboards on dairy farms and correct possible deviations.

This initiative aims to design, develop and validate a new collaborative platform for the primary and secondary sectors that allows, through the design of specific dashboards, agile decision making.
