NEWS FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE August 2022 87 After a first success in Ontario, the French company Nanolike opened in April 2022 a new entity in Montreal: Nanolike Canada Inc. This Canadian subsidiary just signed its first deal with Meuneries Mondou, a key player in the livestock feed industry in Quebec. The project consists of equipping 300 feed bins with BinConnect sensors to simplify producers' daily lives. To address inventory management problem, BinConnect (a non-intrusive fill level sensor developed by Nanolike) offers a complete solution to streamline feed inventory management and the ordering process through a web platform and a mobile app. Created in Europe more than four years ago in collaboration with feed suppliers, BinConnect meets the following requirements: a non-intrusive sensor mounted at ground level, a robust and easyto-deploy solution, at the lowest possible total cost of ownership and requiring no maintenance or physical calibration. Meuneries Mondou decided to invest in equipping a first batch of 300 feed bins with BinConnect level sensors in order to ensure a continuous supply to its customers and to provide them with an ordering tool accessible in a few clicks from a smartphone. By using connected bins, producers no longer have to worry about inventory management or travel to different barns. By implementing this turnkey solution, the company also guarantees safer and more comfortable working conditions for its customers. Beyond the benefit of real-time visibility on all stocks for the producer and the feed mill, a four-day forecast is also provided and completed with an automatic alert system (by email or notification on a smartphone) when a bin is approaching empty.
