He explained that Smart Feed mill applies automation and robotic technology in the production. Moreover, data are collected by the mill for analysis and used for production planning to improve the efficiency and reduce production errors as well as waste generated in process.
Meanwhile, CP Foods’ Smart Farm has implemented a sensor system to measure the amount of food for feeding the chickens and notify the amount of food remaining supply in the silo. The system helps the company to reduce the manpower. In addition, the animal’s data and living environment is digitally monitored. Meanwhile, the eggs are counted and transport via automatic belt. The efforts are to minimize human contact.
