Manna MIND technology and process monitoring

We have developed technology solutions to maximize the potential of BSF larvae to convert the biowaste. The larvae require optimal conditions to do its work efficiently. With our Manna MIND solution we have been able to offer the lowest cost and most flexible system to create automated modular environments from local hardware anywhere in the world.

For optimizing process and equipment

Fit the technology to the operation

MIND can connect sensors, equipment control and operator records for a custom installation. It provides support for equipment interfaces, control behaviour, operating limits, monitoring and alarms. Compatible equipment can come from any vendor that is locally available.

MIND minimizes the technical resources and does most of the work automatically in the background to take care of the larvae. It can be customized to user needs and scales seamlessly when production capacity increases.

Supporting process operators

Production records and public learning

We have worked with BSF production and process for eight years and during this time developed software to help log, store and analyse production efficiency. This has led to Insect Farm Hub platform that supports all BSF operators around the world. Over 6,000 people uses it every day.
