Hanover, 15 November 2023Dinamica Generale, a leading designer and manufacturer of electronic solutions and sensors in the field of weighing and NIR analysis, and xFarm Technologies, a leading tech company in the digitalization of agriculture, have signed an innovative partnership focused on a crucial issue for the agricultural sector, and in particular for the livestock supply chain: increasing efficiency in the management of animal feed rations. The partnership between the two companies will mean that mixer wagon manufacturers will get significant help to develop new and effective smart feeding management solutions. The aim is to help improve animal welfare and make animal husbandry more efficient and economically viable using new, cutting-edge technology.

The partnership brings together Dinamica Generale's flagship product, the innovative DTM platform, and the xFarm platform's high capacity for data analysis and agricultural management support. This is thanks to an integration that will finally allow all ration information to be visualised on the xFarm platform and, based on this data, act to optimise the rations.

It is a significant development for animal husbandry. This sector is a pillar of European exports and of many agrifood chains, but it is facing increasing international competition and new challenges. Installed on the mixer wagons, the sensors produced by Dinamica Generale (e.g. the load cells that allow the weighing of the mixer wagons or the NIR sensor for the qualitative analysis of rations) collect data that are displayed by the controllers, also installed on the mixer wagons; they transmit them to the DTM platform, whose integration with xFarm will make it possible not only to improve the rations from a qualitative point of view but also to assess their suitability in quantitative terms, so as to better calibrate the distribution of feed for the animals.

"New technologies and advanced digitalisation can make a fundamental contribution to the sustainability of agrifood chains and the activities of farmers and breeders, also thanks to the increasing integration of these technologies in agricultural machinery. We at xFarm Technologies are deeply convinced of this, and in fact we are already involved in the milk supply chain thanks to important projects underway with leading international players," says Pier Alberto Gobbo, Telematics Business Unit Manager of xFarm Technologies. "That is why we are very proud of this partnership, which involves combining the xFarm platform with specific kits offered by Dinamica Generale, a leading player in smart feeding management solutions".

"The collaboration with xFarm marks a significant step towards the development of disruptive solutions in the precision feeding sector. Our shared vision is to radically transform the livestock industry through the collection and management of data to improve operational efficiency, optimise production quality and promote animal welfare.

This synergetic partnership will enable us to offer complete and integrated solutions, thus contributing to improving the environmental and economic sustainability of livestock operations” Enrico Salvaterra, Product Marketing Manager European animal husbandry, in Germany as in France, and in Italy as in Spain and Poland, needs innovation and vision to continue as a global leader in a changing world.

The partnership between Dinamica Generale and xFarm Technologies seeks to move in this direction, providing a technology-intensive contribution to the livestock supply chain, and specifically to a particularly strategic segment, mixer wagon manufacturers.
