PROAGRO

AGRIFOOD DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION

GOOD PRACTICES AND SUCCESS STORIES

South Hungary is the least industrialized region in the country however, services and the agricultural sector plays a stronger role as the national average.

Biggest shortcomings of the region are the following:

1. Low level of cooperation among the main actors (agri-food businesses, forestry, agricultural innovation stakeholders, farmers, stock-farming, biotechnology-related businesses and IT companies as technology, IT infrastructure providers etc.). It is very important to stimulate these actors to build a strong, knowledge based agricultural innovation ecosystem in the region. This is a key determinant of the innovation potential of the agricultural sector.

2. Lack of knowledge to use innovative technologies and as a result of this the development is lagging behind in the region, agricultural innovation has a poor performance. The lack of skills and competences is also a feature of the consultancy networks, so that the innovation product pipeline does not reach the operational and implementation level.

Our ultimate goal is to support the digital transformation of the agri-food industry, in which we will make agri-food businesses more competitive within their region by providing services and accelerating the development and deployment of digital innovations. We help businesses address their challenges in a business-centric and service-oriented way, and making available to any business to access the latest knowledge, expertise and technology.

INM serves as first contact point for the ProAgro within the SmartAgriHUBs community with active presence at all possible networking opportunities. INM shares SmartAgriHUBs’ best practices and will pass on the benefits of the international network towards the regional players. INM plays a translator role: not only forwarding information but customizing the information and formulate in a digestible way to the local players.

By sharing national and international good practices, we present examples that have already been used, from which our partners can select truly effective solutions. innomine helps to navigate digital solutions, giving producers an idea for the digital transformation of their own business.

SMARTAGRIHUBS

SmartAgriHubs (SAH) is a € 20 million EU funded H2020 project launched in 2018 that brings together more than 164 partners in the European agri-food sector.

The aim of the project is to accelerate the digitization of the European agri-food industry by supporting innovation systems focused on quality, sustainability and success. The project focuses on end-users in the agri-food sector as a driver of digital transformation. The collaboration is based on a solid network of start-ups, SMEs, business service providers, technology experts and end-users.

The flagship projects are divided in 7 sectors – arable, aquaculture, fruit, vegetables, dairy, livestock and innovative food – and 9 geographical clusters – UK and Ireland; Scandinavia; France; Northwest Europe; Central Europe; Northeast Europe; Iberia; Italy and Malta; Southeast Europe. The 28 flagship innovation experiments facilitate the wider digitization of agriculture and the food sector by encouraging knowledge transfer and technology exchange.

IOF2020: INTERNET OF FOOD AND FARM

The Internet of Food & Farm 2020 (IoF2020) project explores the potential of IoT technologies for the European food and agriculture industry.

The goal is ambitious: to implement precision farming and to take a vital step towards a more sustainable food value chain. IoT technologies bring higher yields and better quality yields closer. IoT technologies also allow for better traceability of food, resulting in increased food safety.

DEMETER: EMPOWERING FARMERS

DEMETER aims to lead the digital transformation of the European agri-food sector through the rapid adoption of advanced IoT technologies, data science and intelligent farming, ensuring its long-term viability and sustainability.

  • 18 countries, 20 flagship experiments, 60 partners
  • 25 locations in the entire value chain (supply and demand)
  • 6,000 farmers and
  • more than 38,000 devices and sensors

    During the workshops organized within the framework of ProAgro, the need for digitalisation was also confirmed by actors from different sectors. They shared their activities, arguments and good practices with those interested in the form of presentations.

      Innovation projects of South Hungary supported by innomine

      Smooth food and beverage packaging line operation in an SME” – Pécsi Sörfőzde Zrt.

      This innovation project focuses on an accumulation packaging line of a South Hungarian brewery- Pécsi Sörfőzde Zrt. The separate machines are connected with conveyors. The machines run in a stop and go modus. Before and after the machine sensors detect the load on the conveyors and switches the machines. By using the modelling and simulation technology the project targets a harmonization of the single machine operation to a regulated operation to improve line efficiency, product quality, reduce utility consumption and maintenance cost. The project aiming to optimize the pasteurization process to be more economical and efficient won an EU funding. After the implementation of the project, an important goal is to share knowledge and transfer knowledge and technology to other sectors. The know-how can also be transferred to wineries.

      INNOMINE SERVICES PROVIDED

      1. introduction of the open call:

      innomine regularly searching for open calls related to Digitalization in the agri-food sector; Smart solutions in the agri-food sector and ICT/DATA in the agri-food sector. On dedicated workshops, we present these open calls and funding initiatives, explaining the scope of the call in details, the eligibility criteria and the funding rates.

      In this particular case, the BOWI ‘Boosting Widening Digital Innovation Hubs’ open call was introduced in a workshop, where the company is attended.

       

      1. Validating eligibility

      In introductory workshops development needs and new project ideas arise. We have to ensure that both the company and the idea is eligible for the call. Therefore on a personal interview we validate that.

       

      1. Matchmaking

      innomine has a solid database and an extensive network of agri-food companies and technology providers. This serves as basis for matching project ideas, technologies and partners (supply and demand side). We match companies to create the best consortium for the call.

      Pécsi Sörfőzde Zrt was also matched and introduced to a technical provider, who is able to develop the solution by using modelling and simulation technology.

       

      1. Proposal preparation:

      When funding is introduced, consortium is set, innomine is able to help in the application process. We  assisted during this project writing, collaborating during execution and implementation and advise on project management.

       

      1. Dissemination:

      Sharing good examples and best practices is very important. Knowledge sharing is of the utmost importance for increasing, streamlining and applying innovations in the agri-food sector, improving knowledge and accessing and financing innovation. In order for innovative SMEs to use EU funding to fund their activities, we need to raise awareness of the calls and teach them how to succeed in the world of EC calls. The best way is to share success stories and let successful companies share their own experiences and lessons learned.

      Pécsi Sörfőzde Zrt is invited in several workshops to present their project and share experiences, pitfalls and good practices about a costumer journey in EU calls.

      In the project period of 1-year Innomine provided services to many agri-food SMEs concerning the overall life cycle of a project, from scouting of opportunities, proposal writing, initiation, definition and design, to development, implementation and follow up. Also, we have facilitated and informed individuals or enterprises about the process of arranging access to different funding sources (private or public) and supported them with developing proposals, thus promoted the growth of entrepreneurs, start-ups as well as established companies by exploiting growth and investment opportunities.

      As a result, below innovation projects were supported by Innomine 

      Title: Smooth food and beverage packaging line operation in an SME - Pécsi Sörfőzde 

      Technology used: Modelling and simulationThis innovation project focuses on an accumulation packaging line of a South Hungarian brewery- Pécsi Sörfőzde Zrt. The separate machines are connected with conveyors. The machines run in a stop and go modus. Before and after the machine sensors detect the load on the conveyors and switches the machines. By using the modelling and simulation technology the project targets a harmonization of the single machine operation to a regulated operation to improve line efficiency, product quality, reduce utility consumption and maintenance cost. The project aiming to optimize the pasteurization process to be more economical and efficient won an EU funding. After the implementation of the project, an important goal is to share knowledge and transfer knowledge and technology to other sectors. The know-how can also be transferred to wineries.

      Public funding awareness
      The ultimate goal of the ProAgro project was to support the digital transformation of the agri-food industry, in which Innomine made agri-food businesses more competitive within our region by providing services and accelerating the development and deployment of digital innovations.
      The project aimed to introduce and demonstrate agri-food companies' opportunities for EU fundings through advice and digital maturity assessment, evaluation of the analysis, the development of a personalized action plan and the collection of national and international good practices. 
      Two things are essential for successfully help agri-food businesses in Hungary with EU funding: 1. knowing the partners, 2. being aware of financial sources. Therefore, our approach was:

      I. Supporting agri-food SMEs and start-ups:
      • Consultancy and assessment of digital maturity, needs of farmers and agri-food SMEs 
      • Analysis of the surveys, assessments and interviews, collection of good practices at national and international level and creation of a customized needs action plan based in terms of the farmer’s and SMEs current digital maturity and operational efficiency. 

      II. Access to finance
      • Identification and connection to suitable funding sources by creating a map of the available national and international funding possibilities.
      III. Online or onsite consultations on the suitable and available national and private funding opportunities identified
      By profiling the partners using the agricultural and food digital transformation tool developed in the ProAgro project we got a good idea of the level of maturity of the partners, not only in terms of digitization but also in terms of application capabilities. The survey showed the companies project ideas and their capabilities of implementation. We became aware of the level of the company in the requirements for international applications (eg minimum English language skills). Our already established network and the conducted agri- and food digital maturity tool and methodology allowed us to identify digitalization related project ideas and to create a pool of partners able to apply for EC calls or other international fundings.

      As a results, in the 1 year project period we were able to bring in 3 partners into a Horizon Europe call, selected, validated and submitted 7 proposals to different cascade funding calls (Demeter, BOWI, Digitbrain).

      Our results show that knowing our partners in term of digital and innovation maturity is very important. By using the ProAgro agri-food digital transformation tool and methodology, we can not only suggest steps to improve digitization, but also identify needs that can be turned into project plans that can be a good topic for EU cascade funding. Innomine DIH continues to help national and international agri-food businesses to address their challenges in a business-centric and service-oriented way, and making available to any business to access the latest knowledge, expertise and technology.

      Digital
      Digital Transformation Strategy
      innomine helps the digitalization and digital transformation of the Hungarian SMEs in the last 13 years. As the digital transformation became more important to build and maintain resilience, keep up in the sever business environment, innomine faced increasing need of consultancy on this field. Based on its vast related experience developed Digital Maturity Assessment Tool. 

      A systematic self-assessment helps companies to have the top-level evaluation of its digital readiness. Moreover, comparison with fellow industry members orient business management to evaluate the status of their organization. Our Digital Readiness Assessment integrate various dimensions, which are vital to draw a full picture of the company.

      These are: Digital Strategy, Company Culture, Value Creation Process, Supporting Process, Customer Experience and IT. There are several similar tools available internationally, but the challenge was to develop a methodology, which are tailored for the Hungarian small businesses, and helps homogenic understanding of the terms.
