Our client is a US-based, industry leader in responsibly produced pork that feeds millions globally. The client is migrating their systems from on-premises into the cloud. This success story is based on our initial work after winning a request for proposal (RFP) as described below.<\/p>\n
Our Client<\/cite><\/p>\n Unfortunately, the company was losing costly amounts of livestock in transit. With hundreds of sourcing farms and a myriad of other variables, it was not readily apparent what caused the deaths. The client needed sophisticated analytics to identify the parameters under which the animals died.<\/p>\n The client\u2019s request for proposal was for a data science platform, which would first address the livestock loss. While they knew they needed to do more with data science, it became apparent they weren\u2019t in the position to actually implement it directly. They needed to take precursor steps to move up to data science, including addressing a legacy, on-prem Oracle Essbase installation.<\/p>\n As part of the process for winning the business, an immediate action was to show the client that we had the expertise in implementing and applying the technology solution and that we would provide them the sophisticated analytics they needed. It was here that the Prolifics Innovation Center proved it\u2019s value as a differentiator from our competitors.<\/p>\n The client sent our Innovation Center raw data files \u2013 data that the client had but did not know how to analyze. The Innovation Center used IBM\u2019s Cloud Pak for Data and other technologies to look at all the data points to discover that the root cause for livestock deaths was high humidity \u2013 something that the client could actually control. On hot-weather transport days, one of the client\u2019s business practices was to spray down the pigs with water inside the trucks, ostensibly to keep the pigs cooler. But it had the opposite effect of raising the humidity levels inside the truck, leading to higher deaths. It was this \u201cproof of concept\u201d from our Innovation Center that won Prolifics the RFP.<\/p>\n As part of our Analytics Modernization and Migration to Modern Data Repositories offerings, Prolifics is currently modernizing the client\u2019s data structures and analytics capabilities. We\u2019re moving the company from its on-prem Oracle Essbase to a brand-new Microsoft Azure Data Lake and Lakehouse environment as data repositories and implementing IBM Cloud Pak for Data and related technologies for analytics and reporting.<\/p>\n The client\u2019s modern, cloud-based systems will give them the ability to perform advanced analytics, which will ultimately save livestock and greatly reduce costs.\u202fOne of the client\u2019s aspirations is to have a \u201csmart farm\u201d operations concept. The client would like to capture sensor data from their farms as the foundation for production analytics. When they find which farms produce the best quality livestock, they can recreate those conditions in the other farms.<\/p>\n Prolifics is a global digital engineering and consulting firm helping clients navigate and accelerate their digital transformation journeys.
