The challenge
Knowing what is in the feed center, without walking it
Feed is a dairy's largest expense and its most critical daily input. Keeping ingredients in stock meant someone had to go out and check levels by hand, a job that takes time, is prone to guesswork and leaves ordering one step behind actual consumption.
The solution
Alliance Dairies uses Hyperion with fixed EOS2 LiDAR sensors that scan the feed piles every hour. Results appear on the Hyperion dashboard automatically, so the team works from a current inventory picture instead of a manual estimate.
The result
Fewer trips to the feed center, a streamlined ordering process, fewer ingredient shortages and more confidence in daily planning.
Hyperion provides hourly scan data that gives us an accurate, real-time picture of our inventory without needing to send someone out to manually check levels. This has significantly reduced guesswork and saved us countless trips to the Feed Center. It's streamlined our feed ordering process, helped prevent ingredient shortages, and improved our confidence in daily planning.
Beyond the technology, the support from Kyle and the Altamus team has been outstanding. They're responsive, thoughtful, and understand the importance of uptime and accuracy in a production environment like ours.
