FARMINSECT’s Data Journey: Scaling Sustainable Insect Protein Production with Unified Analytics

[CLIENT]

FARMINSECT, one of Europe’s largest regional insect production companies, is pioneering sustainable alternatives to soy and fishmeal in livestock feed. With its strong commitment to innovation, the company recognized the need to move beyond facility-specific data handling in order to fully unlock the potential of data-driven production and scale its operations efficiently.

[CHALLENGE]

Replacing environmentally harmful and import-dependent feed sources with insect-based alternatives requires highly efficient, scalable production processes. Realising this vision demanded a unified data infrastructure—capable of capturing and analysing growth patterns and resource use across facilities. To achieve this, the company sought a robust, modular, and scalable foundation to support intelligent, data-driven production management.

[SOLUTION]

We supported FARMINSECT in building a centralised, scalable data platform designed for long-term growth. The solution included:

● Modular database architecture based on open-source, industry-standard technologies.
● Integration of heterogeneous data sources, combining sensor-based and manual production records into a unified system.
● Prototype machine learning models for predicting insect growth and production efficiency.
● Interactive analytics dashboards enabling real-time monitoring and actionable insights.

The system was designed with future extensibility and observability in mind, allowing integration of advanced analytics, supply chain monitoring, and real-time smart alarms.
