Come See us at GEAPS Exchange 2019! Booth 719

EXCHANGE 2019 is starting! New Orleans…. here we come!

GEAPS Exchange 2019 is the biggest event of the year for the Grain industry, and we are looking forward to seeing all of our great clients, prospects and soon-to-be prospects at what will undoubtedly be a great time in the big easy.

Visit us in the exhibition hall, booth 719. From the entrance, turn left, and find us in the 3rd row of exhibitors.

If you are interested in hearing a bit about the future of Mobile device use for grain receiving and logistics… then come by the Idea Exchange on Sunday from 9:45-11:00am. We will be giving a short 5 minute talk on that topic and how AGRIFLO is revolutionizing that aspect of grain operations.

But most importantly, come by our booth to find out how Modern Technology is being adopted in the grain, seed, feed and food sectors, and how BLOCKCHAIN is revolutionizing the food supply chain.

Visit us at Feed & Grain LIVE 2019!

Agriflo is proud to be exhibiting, and speaking at Feed & Grain LIVE 2019!

The recent glysophate residue issues in grain, and the lettuce recall across North America both tell us a lot about how the tracking and traceability in our food and feed sectors is working, as well as what government, customers and end consumers expect. FISMA, SQF, BRC, AFRPS and other standards form the lowest set of expectations that we must achieve, but they themselves are substantially less than consumers are already demanding – and those demands are accelerating at an exponential rate. There are many challenges within an organization to addressing these issues, but there is an even greater challenge relating to doing so across all of the organizations in the supply chain. This is compounded by the decentralized nature of the agriculture sector, as well as a healthy distrust that most in the sector have for centralized authority. The traditional methods of addressing issues of intra-organizational data collection and exchange have been focused around large, centralized entities controlling the media of communication – and we all know that he who controls the media, controls the message. This is, and has been a major impediment to establishing an effective supply chain wide traceability solution – not only in agriculture, but in most other sectors as well. The arrival of Blockchain technology is a major breakthrough that eliminates almost all of these negatives, and provides a neutral playing field where everyone from the largest global food company to the smallest independent elevator can equally participate. The Blockchain revolution has already caused substantial change in the finance and banking industries, and major blockchain related changes are already happening in food. In this session we will talk about what exactly Blockchain is, how it works, what the applicability to Feed & Grain is, why adoption of this technology is going to happen much faster than you might think [hint: it already is!], and why organizations need to be preparing for it now.

For more information on this, or other issues pertaining to technical revolutions in tracking & traceability in Feed, Food and Grain.. contact us or visit us at Booth 52 at Feed & Grain Live 2019 in Altoona Iowa.. January 8-10, 2019!

The world is getting smaller!

The world is getting smaller in Agriculture. Globally processors are trading their products all around the world.  As products move, information has to follow.  Processors know that when they fill a sea container with product that is going overseas, there will be papers and information that will have to travel as well. In fact, sometimes the paperwork will have to beat the product shipment to the destination.

 

In the majority of cases, these documents have to be manually created and this can be a very time consuming process.

 

Being manual:

 

  • You can experience errors and there maybe rework that happens.
  • Or the error is not corrected at the processing facility and it can be flagged at another point in the supply chain which results in the shipment being delayed.
  • Or worse, you can accidentally send the work and information to the wrong person.

 

Imagine how much time it can take to create the documents needed to move the product around the globe.  Imagine the time taken to correct the documents if a mistake is made.  What if you could automate this process, so that the documents needed to ship out the product happen automatically.  Even better if you could automate with rules attached to different documents so that the correct documents can be generated for different situations. Simplifying your job and making this smaller world that much more enjoyable and reducing your stress.

 

This reality is available today with Agriflo systems.  Agriflo can set up your shipment documents easily and effectively.  Allowing you to do what you do best and that is processing products for your customers. Agriflo can save you time and money.  With just a few mouse button clicks, the Bill of Lading, export documents and even your vessel documents can be created.

 

Another unique feature that is offered by Agriflo is that you can visually track your shipment if you are GPS enabled.  This feature allows you to give your customer real-time information. Adding this feature to auto-generated documents you can have a real impact with your customers and show them that you can supply information as if they are just down the street from you!

Closing the loop for Workflows in Agricultural Processing

In Agriculture you hear phases such as “Industrial Internet of Things”, closing the loop on you data, and connecting to the supply chain. This can sometimes feel as if the world in Agriculture is finally catching up to technology or it can feel as if technology in agriculture is out of control. Either feeling ultimately comes down to your workflows and technology.

 

In Agriculture, efficiency of how we work comes to be a fact of life. If we touch the product too many times during processing, this will impact our margins. We know this as processors, but if you have learned to leverage your technology and enhance your workflows so that they are tightened up, it will allow you to be more efficient, increase your profitability and increase your volume into the supply chain.

 

By connecting the dots with your workflow and technology, it allows you to have better management in your data. This means you can actually use it to make real time decisions.   Rather than trying to decipher what happened yesterday or last week and trying to piece everything together. If the workflow and the technology are working together, this will prevent workarounds and errors that can have an impact on your customers.

 

Workflow and technology working together can provide:

 

  • Reduction in Human Errors or inconsistencies.
  • Increase efficient operations for higher volume of output.
  • Quicker processing in the agricultural Supply chain.

 

In the UK there was a recent study that showed that customers sited higher sales as one of the top benefits of using supply chain integrated technology which allowed them to tighten up the workflow processes.

 

The biggest challenge for the processor is that some off the shelf technology may have limitations in allowing the processor to maximize efficiency and may impact their bottom line. Hence why workflows may not be tightened up or there are just too many work arounds that will occur just to get the product out the door.  This type of situation can actually hinder the through put of the plant.

 

In order to mitigate this scenario you will need to have your workflow and technology working as one.  Certain software such as Agriflo has the ability to graphically illustrate your workflow to help you manage it throughout the process.  Agriflo software will allow you to change that workflow so that you don’t have to change your software.  It will allow you the capability to tighten up the workflows and increase your productivity. The software will grow with you. Agriflo really becomes an extension of your team.
