PigLink

Last update: 23-07-25
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.

In the German LL, our focus lies on developing and establishing an educational program on digital technologies in crop production, and not so much on testing or implementing a specific technology. For process modelling, we have been discussing with our stakeholders on technology (Stenon Farmlab), which has also been considered in our outreach and education activities. The Stenon FarmLab is an integrated hardware and software solution for real-time soil analysis. The system consists of several components. These include a measuring device, which is equipped with various optical, electrical and climate sensors. The measuring device can be connected to an internet-enabled end device (e.g. smartphone) via WiFi and also uses an integrated GPS module for self-localisation. Measurement data collected is then transferred to a cloud solution where it is processed on-demand. The developed AI then calculates the individual contents of the following parameters from the sensor measurement data: NO3, Nmin, Ntotal, PO4, K, Mg, Corg, soil moisture, pH, soil temperature and soil texture. Once the calculation is complete, the results are saved and assigned to an user account and ready for further use to support the fertilization process of the farm."
