Reduce Food Safety Risk with Digital Transformation to a Cloud-Based Solution
Overview
The grain and oilseed industry is undergoing a significant transformation partly due to the increasing demand for biofuels and the need for more sustainable energy sources, and combined with a growing global population and disruptions due to world events. The digitalization of the industry is becoming a necessity to optimize operations, improve efficiency, and reduce waste. With the advent of new connectivity options, managing multiple grain analysis instruments has become easier with software solutions, allowing for better collaboration and transparency across the supply chain.
Addressing the Need for a Digital Solution
The use of a cloud-based software solution can made it possible for the food production industry to simplify collaboration and transparency across their network. The IQXTM software solution that can be accessed anywhere at any time across all locations, makes it easier for grain receivals to optimize their operations and gain better insights with their supply chain. And in the future, with these types of software solutions, farmers and traders in the future will be able to get better analytics and insights, which will help them to avoid over or under-production.
The need for a digital platform that can optimize operations has become even more apparent with the increasing demand for biofuels derived from oilseed. According to the OECD-FAO Agricultural Outlook, worldwide oilseed crushing accounts for 90% of total usage, and the demand for crush is expected to increase faster than demand for other uses. With this increased demand, digital tools are being developed to address the needs of farmers and manufacturers.
The use of digitalized data can help reduce losses and waste throughout the supply chain while providing insights and analytics on their processing practices. The IQX software platform helps to optimize production practices, making it easier for customers to achieve their production goals.
In addition to the benefits of digitalization, there are also challenges that need to be addressed. A common challenge is how to manage, optimize, and configure your critical measurement devices. From a single software platform, customers can achieve an end-to-end solution which can help in reducing production costs and securing the quality of products.
Managing a fleet of devices, updating, operating, and maintaining their performance consistently becomes more difficult at processing or manufacturing sites. To overcome these challenges, it is essential to have a reliable and secure digital platform that can ensure the smooth operation of your devices.
The Impact on the Grain and Oilseed Industry
In conclusion, the digitalization of the grain and oilseed industry is becoming a necessity to optimize operations, improve efficiency, and reduce waste. With the increasing demand for biofuels, the use of a digital platform will help farmers and traders get better information to avoid over or under-production. IQX software platform is a cloud-based software solution that can help simplify collaboration and transparency across the supply chain with a suite of tools including Device Management, Supplier Quality and Food Safety workspaces. With digitalized data, it is possible to streamline manufacturing practices and improve production.
