LIT OUESTEREL

Starting point: Digitalization in pig farms is evolving, and the use of connected tools is increasing. However, the multiplicity of management boards and the need to sometimes register the same data twice in different software make this digitalization a bit inefficient. There is a need to facilitate data registration and sharing. Objective: PigLink aims to facilitate data sharing between equipment in farms and management software, to ease the farm management and traceability to reinforce food safety and quality control, from farm to consumer. How it works: PigLink is a platform for sharing standardized data between authorized partners of pig farmers, using web API’s - At the start: o Farmers register themselves on the platform, describe the structural elements of their farm (buildings, rooms, pens), each identified by a unique “PigLink number” o Equipment manufacturers register their equipment o Farmers link their equipment to the structural elements of their farms - Once it is set up: o Data user asks PigLink for data from a given field (feed, ventilation, water, …), for a farm o The data user and data provider must first sign a data exchange agreement o Piglink checks if these data are collected on the farm, and whether there is a consent agreement, and sends data to the user, provided that the farmer has also given their consent. Price: PigLink is free to use.
