- Data centralisation. By no longer viewing recipe management and optimisation per production site, and instead including all data from the entire company in one single database, it is possible to better anticipate changes in raw materials availability on the one hand and in sales markets for end products on the other. This means that changes in e.g. raw materials quality or prices, which are centrally implemented, are made available a lot faster and in real time to local factories. With this approach, the composition and price of feeds is always optimal. Click to find out more about our products.
- With the “MultiPlant - MultiPeriod” optimisation software, Adifo is the only player in the market to offer a tool for optimising raw materials allocation, both geographically and over time. In this way, animal feed companies make optimum use of scarce resources, yet without losing sight of economic aspects.
- One of the basic elements of formulation software is raw materials quality. Working with correct, up-to-date data results in better feed, higher reliability and a cheaper solution. By linking your BESTMIX optimisation software to BESTMIX Quality Control, you can be confident that your quality management and your optimisation software are linked together in real time so that your calculations can be carried out with the greatest accuracy.
- There are limitations/preconditions in the production process for certain raw materials which need to be taken into account. Two examples of this are the sensitivity of the scales and the use of bagged goods. By using integer optimisation, you can already include these limitations in the optimisation process instead of “manually” correcting for them in the post-processing stage. In this way you can be sure that the composition you calculate satisfies all specifications, at the lowest price, and is perfectly reproducible at the factory without any additional manual adaptation whatsoever, which always has a negative influence on the price or the quality of the feed.
- Moisture is lost during the animal feed production process. If you do not take account of this moisture loss, then you supply feed of a better quality than set and at a higher price than indicated by the optimisation. By taking account of this dehydration with BESTMIX, you can save up to 0.5% on your raw materials costs and supply the quality you promised.
