Isoporc moves to the mill of the future with AgFlo: smart inventory and production management

Introduction

Isoporc is one of Quebec's largest pork producers, raising close to 335,000 pigs every year. Through full vertical integration — from feed to processing — Isoporc runs a complex supply chain spanning more than 300 silos across about a hundred partner farms. In a business where every forecasting error can cost time, resources and animal performance, Isoporc set out to modernize its inventory management with a reliable, future-proof solution. With AgFlo, Isoporc chose a complete solution that goes far beyond a simple sensor to become a centralized data platform, accessible in near real time and built for the years ahead.

The initial challenges

  • Partial visibility on stock levels, raising the risk of stockouts and rush orders.
  • Wrong or late orders, disrupting production planning.
  • Significant logistics costs, with unoptimized deliveries and costly end-of-batch pickups.
  • Difficulty guaranteeing precise adherence to the feeding program, especially critical when feed costs are higher.

The solution put in place

After a rigorous pilot phase, Isoporc rolled out the AgFlo solution at scale. Compared with other, more complex and costly systems, AgFlo won them over with:

  • Mobile, accurate and affordable sensors, easy to install and to retrieve if a farm relationship changes.
  • Compatibility with silos of varying sizes and materials.
  • Field-validated accuracy: 98% of readings within less than a ton of industrial scales.

A data management platform

But above all, AgFlo stood out with its data management software platform, the true heart of the solution:

  • Visual silo mapping with color-coded level indicators.
  • Consumption curves and detailed history.
  • Centralized, near real-time access from any connected device.
  • Successful test of remote feed ordering, a first step toward full automation.

The concrete benefits observed

Unmatched accuracy

  • 98% reliability, versus 65-75% for manual estimates.
  • Fewer risks of stockouts or overfilled silos.

Optimized costs and transport

  • Fewer deliveries and better route planning.
  • Fewer end-of-batch pickups, limiting costly handling and quality losses.
  • A positive impact on the carbon footprint.

Direct economic gains

  • Savings of several thousand dollars per farm from better adherence to the feeding program and optimized logistics.

Safety and peace of mind

  • Fewer unnecessary trips.
  • Less uncertainty for producers and teams.

Outlook and vision for the future

Building on these results, Isoporc and its parent company, Groupe Mario Côté, committed in 2025 to a massive rollout of 900 additional sensors, covering their entire farm network and part of their partner sites. The ambition is to go even further, by:

  • Automating feed orders based on near real-time data.
  • Integrating the AgFlo platform with the mill's production and logistics software, to synchronize manufacturing and transport.
  • Giving producers direct access to track and manage their own stock.

Conclusion

With this approach, Isoporc affirms its leadership and embodies the vision of a connected, high-performing and sustainable mill. By partnering with AgFlo, Isoporc took a major step toward digitizing its operations: precision, simplicity and robustness turned everyday challenges into opportunities for efficiency and economic performance.

“With AgFlo, we finally have the near real-time visibility we were missing. It's a complete shift in how we manage our stock, our orders and our production. This is the mill of the future.”

Groupe Robitaille: powering agri-food logistics with data

The context: a vision for the next generation

Representing the new generation of entrepreneurs leading the family business, Christopher Robitaille has a clear vision for the next five to ten years: pushing performance to the max and simplifying operations. To get there, the Group looked for technologies with a fast, concrete and measurable impact in the field.

The challenge: blind spots in the supply chain

Before AgFlo, manual inventory management created significant inefficiencies, especially at the mill:

  • Flying blind on logistics: with no visibility into upcoming orders, it was impossible to level drivers' workload across the week or minimize the kilometers driven per ton delivered.
  • The curse of rush orders: "rush" orders threw off planning and disrupted transport.
  • Health and safety: monitoring stock meant producers had to climb silos or knock on them to estimate levels — a daily risk.
  • Costly alternatives: other options, like load cells, had been ruled out as too expensive, complex or slow to install.

The solution: from pilot project to full rollout

Groupe Robitaille first tested AgFlo with about forty sensors for over a year, to validate the technology, the reliability of the readings and the customer service. Convinced by the results, they moved to the next stage in July 2025 with 450 additional sensors. What tipped the scale in AgFlo's favor:

  • Non-intrusive installation: no silo modifications required, whether on their own farms or their contract producers'.
  • Value for money: AgFlo's total cost of ownership (TCO) proved extremely competitive against other technologies on the market.
  • ERP integration, the keystone of the data: Groupe Robitaille marks a major technological milestone as AgFlo's first client to achieve full integration with its own enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. AgFlo acts as the "missing key," feeding critical silo data directly into the software ecosystem already in place.

The impact: operations driven by data

Today, AgFlo's integration has a measurable impact on the Group's supply chain:

  • Improved transport KPIs: km/ton, cost/ton, delivery cost/hour and percentage of full loads.
  • Production continuity: fewer rush orders and no more empty silos, so animals never run short of feed.
  • A path to automation: a gradual shift to automatic ordering, with a target of 40% of the Group's own farms this year.

An evolving technology partnership

Today, AgFlo's integration lets Groupe Robitaille bring its long-term vision of performance and efficiency to life. As sensor deployment continues across their network, it's the quality of the collaboration that drives the success of this digital transition. The Group has found in AgFlo a partner able to adapt quickly to the realities of a complex supply chain.

“AgFlo is a responsive, agile company that moves fast. We have an excellent working relationship with their team: they're always there to help, patient and flawless. Between the ease of installation and their competitive pricing, it's a partnership that delivers enormous value.”
