VISCON INSECT TECHNOLOGY
Scale up with Viscon Insect Technology’s automated logistics solutions;
the backbone of your automated insect farm
Once you start to build your insect farming business you will probably also start to think about automation of your crate flow. Viscon Insect Technology support insect farmers with such considerations. We design and realize such processes, ranging from semi-automated to fully automated BSF and mealworm farms.
At what time in your farm development is automation the right choice? First, it’s important to understand the benefits. Compared to manual operations, automation first of all enables you to produce a lot more without hiring extra staff. As a consequence, it lowers operational expenditures. Furthermore, machines improve predictability and consistency and create better working conditions for your staff. No need anymore for heavy lifting. It’s also important to understand that automation can be a gradual process. For each type of scale we can offer solutions, to make sure your investments fit with your business case.
