In the rapidly evolving feed industry, efficiency and innovation are critical components that drive progress. From sensors that monitor feed mills to automated systems, advancements in feed production are reshaping the industry. This article delves into the transformative impact of these technologies on feed production, highlighting the capabilities of AGI's FLEXmill system and the benefits of regional hubs and business optimization.

Modern Solutions for Efficient Feed Mills Every feed mill relies on a combination of equipment and technology to ensure smooth operations and high-quality output. Sensors play a crucial role in monitoring various aspects of the feed mill, including the storage bins and production processes. These sensors provide real-time data, enabling operators to make informed decisions and maintain optimal conditions. One of the most groundbreaking is the concept of lights-out production, where feed mills operate autonomously without human intervention.

AGI FLEXmill™:  Simultaneous Batching On-Farm Feed Mill System Designed for on-farm and light commercial use, the FLEXmill handles simultaneous batching of hard and soft stocks, as well as micros, with high precision dosing accuracy. AGI partners with leading controls suppliers enabling the user to pre-program all recipes and allowing producers to manage production remotely. Whether setting up the schedule for the day or the week, producers can monitor and adjust the system from the comfort of their home. This flexibility ensures that micro bins are fully stocked and feed production continues seamlessly dependent on the loadout scenario. The system's precision and accuracy in batching, along with its ability to reduce labor and improve feed quality, make it a valuable asset in the feed industry.

FLEXmill Customization AGI's FLEXmill system is highly customizable to meet the diverse needs of different livestock species. AGI analyzes specific requirements, including the key recipes, determines the average tons needed, and customizes FLEXmill modules for each application. These solutions can be deployed in both Brownfield and Greenfield scenarios, providing flexibility and adaptability.

Business Optimization and Cost Efficiency AGI's approach to working with feed mill operators emphasizes business optimization and cost efficiency. For example, a client initially thought they needed 40 bins, but AGI's analysis revealed that only 29 were necessary. This reduction in equipment led to decreased CAPEX and OPEX, allowing better capital deployment elsewhere within the program. AGI collaborates closely with contractors and service providers to find the best solutions for customers' needs, becoming trusted advisors and business partners.

Customized Solutions and Flexibility AGI offers tailored solutions to meet diverse needs, catering to all sizes of customers from smaller farm-integrated operations to large commercial enterprises. By working closely with customers to understand their needs, AGI optimizes processes and provides modern technology to improve the quality and reliability of feed production. AGI's flexibility in working with various partners ensures that customers receive tailored solutions. AGI's commitment to innovation and quality makes it a trusted partner in the feed industry.

Conclusion The future of feed production is bright, with advanced technology and automation paving the way for a more efficient and sustainable industry. AGI's innovative solutions, including the FLEXmill system and regional hubs, ensure that producers can meet the growing demand for high-quality feed. By embracing these advancements, producers can optimize their operations, reduce costs, and enhance productivity.
