In this spirit, a new mealworm farm is opening its doors in Amiens, France. This 4.0 farm will shine with stateof-the-art technologies and automation systems with the most avant-garde concepts on the market. A huge amount of data (1 billion data points per day) will be generated, collected, analyzed and put to use to further guarantee all standards are respected.
