BESTMIX Software for the Pet Food industry

Effective moisture management is crucial, as it ensures kibble stability, extends shelf life, and minimizes nutrient loss, ultimately enhancing palatability. At BESTMIX, we understand the importance of this and work closely with our customers to design and implement AI-based predictive models that act as an advanced advisory tool for moisture management.

Through these AI projects, we collaborate with our customers to research and establish models tailored to their unique production environments. These models enable proactive adjustments during production, reducing rework and ensuring consistent product quality. By monitoring moisture content in real-time throughout the extrusion process, our solution allows for immediate corrective actions based on live data. This level of precision and efficiency marks a significant advancement over traditional methods. If you're interested in partnering with us to elevate your production capabilities through AI, feel free to reach out!

The constant struggle to maintain high product standards while dealing with inconsistent raw material quality is overwhelming, especially with all the regulations to follow. Balancing cost-effectiveness with the demand for top-quality products is no small feat. Traditional methods often lead us to rely on hefty safety margins, which can drive up costs and eat into your profits. BESTMIX doesn’t rely on “typical” or average raw material analyses. Instead, it optimizes according to the real price and quality of the individual raw material batches in your mill. You meet your target specifications – without the large safety margins and with lower raw-material costs. All required batch information can be imported automatically from your ERP or MES system through our advanced integration capabilities.

Imagine that one day, you receive a real-time alert from the software, indicating a fluctuation in the protein content of a recent batch. In our software solution, you can review all data including price trends and forecasted amounts, enabling you to make informed decisions about future purchases. Moreover, if the batch does not meet expected quality standards automatic discounts can be generated towards suppliers, this not only protects your bottom line but also encourages suppliers to maintain high standards.

Raw materials can vary greatly in quality, depending on the origin, supplier and various other factors. For instance, a batch of fresh beef offal can vary significantly in nutritional profile based on factors like supplier, geographic origin, livestock diet, and processing methods. This variability requires agility and insight to keep formulas on point.

With real-time data at your fingertips, you’re prepared to adapt quickly. By regularly sampling and analysing the nutrient content of incoming ingredients, you build a rich database on raw material quality over time. Then, when it’s time to incorporate these materials in production, BESTMIX makes it easy to update your ingredient matrix instantly using your own gathered data. This dynamic approach ensures nutritionists and formulators are always working with the latest, most accurate data and empowers your team to handle ingredient variability with confidence.

When chicken meal prices spike on Monday, every formula across all plants re-optimizes by Tuesday. Within approved ranges. Labels don't change. Specs don't change. The customer never knows. But the cost per batch drops.

Most formulation software optimizes one formula at a time. At 200+ formulas, that takes weeks. Most companies absorb the cost because the process is too painful.

BESTMIX optimizes the entire portfolio simultaneously. Shared ingredient constraints respected across every plant. Updated BOMs, regenerated labels, and a consolidated purchase plan route to ERP in one step. No manual re-entry.
