Hay data analytics & fermentation control to increase dairy farm milk yield

Project description

Dairy farming for the future

In the ever-evolving world of agriculture, ensuring the best possible nutrition for livestock is a critical challenge for dairy farmers. Quanturi, an agri-tech start-up, has taken up this challenge with their EIC-funded HAYTECH AI project. The start-up’s HAYTECH solution comprises a network of probes, meticulously collecting temperature and moisture data from hay bales and transmitting it to the Quanturi Cloud. An analytical engine then crunches this extensive data set, considering factors such as hay species, density, bale size and environmental conditions. The result? Automated hay fermentation control and optimised cow feed, boosting milk yields for dairy farmers. Bringing together a team of 15 Quanturi employees and customers across the EU, Australia, Canada and the United States, the project aims to revolutionise the dairy industry.

Objective

Quanturi is an AgTech startup providing IoT solutions for monitoring bulk-stored organic materials. HAYTECH is a network of 1000s of probes that collect temperature & moisture readings from hay bales & transmit them to Quanturi Cloud. The analytical engine constantly monitors each bales accumulation of temperature data points over time as well as the environmental conditions, determining the nutritional value of hay at specific points in time. Having collected an extensive database of complex datasets incl. hay species, hay density, size of the bale, and past and current situation, we are now building a full HAYTECH AI stack that offers automated hay fermentation control and cow feed optimization to improve milk yields for dairy farmers.
We are a team of 15 FTEs with customers in the EU, CA, the US and AU. We are aiming to introduce HAYTECH to the dairy industry in 2025. Further business scaling will see us reach annual revenues of 50M+.
