Performance overview

Everything food businesses need

Func­tion mod­ules and apps form the basis for our flex­i­ble and cus­tomiz­able soft­ware. This prin­ci­ple also enables us to con­nect exist­ing enter­prise soft­ware in an intel­li­gent net­work to form a mean­ing­ful whole. In addi­tion to invest­ment secu­ri­ty, the mul­ti­ple award-win­ning data­base also guar­an­tees max­i­mum pro­cess­ing speed and allows eval­u­a­tions direct­ly on the oper­a­tional data.

The over­all solu­tion from agma­da­ta cov­ers the entire core busi­ness. The sys­tem is adapt­ed to the oper­a­tional process­es, where­by indi­vid­ual mod­ules can be added at any time or imple­ment­ed with lit­tle effort. In addi­tion, uni­ver­sal inter­faces are avail­able to con­nect fur­ther sys­tems as required. For elec­tron­ic com­mu­ni­ca­tion with cus­tomers, sup­pli­ers, busi­ness part­ners and pub­lic author­i­ties. For trans­fer­ring invoice data to an account­ing sys­tem. For archiv­ing doc­u­ments in a DMS. For com­mu­ni­ca­tion with ware­house con­trol and automa­tion tech­nol­o­gy. And for many oth­er tasks.

iFood Auto­mo­tive

Automa­tion is play­ing an increas­ing­ly impor­tant role in many areas of food pro­duc­tion. Increas­ing­ly, machines are equipped with con­trol and reg­u­la­tion pro­grams. With iFood Auto­mo­tiv, all mea­sure­ment and con­trol data can be per­ma­nent­ly record­ed and archived. Inde­pen­dent of the machine sup­pli­er, we cre­ate inter­faces for machine com­mu­ni­ca­tion. We net­work your plant tech­nol­o­gy into an infor­ma­tion and con­trol sys­tem for oper­at­ing tech­nol­o­gy.

  • Siemens S7-300 con­nec­tion
  • active and pas­sive sen­sors
  • RFiD know-how
  • Doc­u­ment process data

Pro­duc­tion Man­age­ment

In coop­er­a­tion with your oper­at­ing tech­nol­o­gy, we devel­op and build solu­tions based on the lat­est automa­tion tech­nol­o­gy. Tar­get­ed con­trol and coor­di­na­tion can reduce your costs at vir­tu­al­ly every lev­el. In a sys­tem of numer­ous plants and machines we close the gaps. With the use of iFood, agma­da­ta takes over, coor­di­nates and is respon­si­ble for the imple­men­ta­tion of automa­tion projects and tasks.

Connectors and data spaces

iFood inte­grates seam­less­ly with 360°efood. This is the first dig­i­tal ecosys­tem in the agri­cul­tur­al indus­try in which all process par­tic­i­pants can find each oth­er. It is based on Fraunhofer’s Inter­na­tion­al Data Spaces, a devel­op­ment for dig­i­tal sov­er­eign­ty in busi­ness ecosys­tems. As a mem­ber of the Inter­na­tion­al Data Spaces Asso­ci­a­tion, agma­da­ta is dri­ving the Farm & Food IDS archi­tec­ture and real­iz­ing a wide vari­ety of use cas­es from ani­mal trans­port to fer­til­iz­er man­age­ment with 360°efood.

Diverse plat­form offers are there­fore avail­able, the IDS Farm & Food shows solu­tions and con­cepts for a wide range of issues.

Through the net­worked coop­er­a­tion of top­ic-relat­ed work­ing groups, we arrive at more advanced solu­tions.

InterSystems IRIS — the database

From ver­sion 2.5.0 NG on, iFood is based on Inter­Sys­tems IRIS. This pow­er­ful data plat­form is opti­mized to col­lect, store and process large amounts of data from mul­ti­ple sources at light­ning speed.

In addi­tion, the plat­form offers a vari­ety of tools and func­tions that help to effec­tive­ly ana­lyze and visu­al­ize the col­lect­ed data.

Final­ly, Inter­Sys­tems IRIS offers advanced capa­bil­i­ties such as machine learn­ing and arti­fi­cial intel­li­gence to make bet­ter deci­sions and take your oper­a­tions to the next lev­el.
