Digital transformation in the hatchery industry
Today, many companies connect machines and collect data. But how do you ensure that this data is turned into added value? Frank Guns explains how this was achieved at Petersime.
"Petersime, market leader in the development of hatchery machines, has been providing solutions to their customers for decades. From egg to chick, they ensure the ideal hatching environment every day. In today’s connected supply chain world, however, came the additional request from their customers: 24/7 real-time information and control, data indeed."
"Data is wealth, but many companies struggle with how and where this data can be utilized"

Data Monitoring
To meet their customers' demand, Petersime monitors and collects two data streams:
Components of the machines
The first data stream monitors the components for predicted wear, allowing off-days, technicians, maintenance, and replacement of parts to be scheduled without production downtime or errors in the final product. This quickly scales service for the customer.
Executed processes of machines
The second data stream monitors various parameters in the machines: CO2, temperature, heat, cooling, ... Thanks to this real-time information, the hatching process can be optimized (doors stay closed, cooling can be adjusted, malfunctions are quickly resolved, etc.). Also, by tracking and analyzing historical data, an optimal hatching process can be implemented.
Petersime wanted to collect data from all hatcheries worldwide and sought a partner to collect and segment these streams. This is where Metanous came in.
Frank: "We have IoT and custom development expertise in-house and were engaged to collect data via the IoT hub of 14,000 connected machines. We created a platform on the existing Azure infrastructure where all live stream information is visualized, monitored, and analyzed. The main challenge was performance and speed, as we are talking about processing 2 million messages per day. Petersime envisions an even larger future and aims to connect 60,000 machines; the platform is scalable and flexible, and performance remains guaranteed."
An IoT platform can provide added value for virtually any sector: monitoring data, predicting results, and optimizing processes. Data is wealth, but it must be used correctly, and the IoT team at Metanous can help with that!
Metanous collaborates on how we can align our business with the sector. Thanks to their technical expertise, we have jointly realized the digital transformation within the hatchery industry.

Data Analysis
Within a hatchery, it is crucial that problems are detected as quickly as possible (incorrect temperature, door not properly closed, etc.). By analyzing the received data in real time, interventions can be made very quickly.
Due to the large amount of data generated by the connected hatcheries, it was important to develop a proper methodology to manage and analyze this data. The platform enables the hatchery manager to easily compare different machines, hatching cycles, etc., and perform in-depth analyses.
Metanous not only helped Petersime collect and process the data produced by their devices, we also leveraged our expertise to analyze this data together with Petersime and turn it into business opportunities.
