How Horizont Group Reduced Routine Fence Checks by 50% with Mobile2b’s IoT Livestock Management

Effective livestock management is critical for farmers, and ensuring the safety of animals through proper process management is essential. The Horizont Group, in partnership with Mobile2b, transformed the traditional electric fence by incorporating IoT technology, enabling farmers to monitor their fences remotely, respond to issues instantly, and prevent theft. This innovative solution improves both operational efficiency and livestock security.

The Challenge: Optimizing Livestock Process Management with IoT Technology

Farmers faced several pain points with traditional electric fence systems, including:

• Manual Process Management: Farmers needed to physically inspect fences, which was inefficient and prone to delays.
• Escaped Livestock Risks: Increased road traffic and growing predator populations heightened the risk of animal escapes, leading to costly damages.
• Vulnerable to Theft: Electric fence devices were susceptible to theft, resulting in financial loss and disruptions to operations.

Horizont recognized the need for a solution that would streamline the process of livestock management and improve both efficiency and security.

The Solution: Smart IoT-Enabled Process Management for Livestock Safety

Horizont partnered with Mobile2b to implement an IoT-driven process management system for their electric fences. By integrating Mobile2b’s myBusiness.AI platform, they developed a smart fencing solution that allows farmers to manage their operations more efficiently.

Key features include:

• Real-Time Process Monitoring: Farmers can remotely monitor the status of their electric fences via mobile app, ensuring ongoing visibility without manual inspections.
• Automated Alerts for Issue Resolution: The system triggers instant notifications for voltage drops or malfunctions, allowing farmers to immediately resolve issues, thus reducing downtime and risks.
• IoT-Enabled Asset Protection: With GPS-based anti-theft tracking, the system ensures that electric fence devices are secure, preventing theft and minimizing losses.

Benefits: Streamlined Livestock Process Management and Increased Efficiency

The integration of IoT technology in livestock management has delivered several measurable benefits:

• Improved Process Efficiency: The automation of monitoring tasks reduced the need for manual inspections, cutting time spent on routine checks by over 50%.
• Better Livestock Safety: Instant alerts enable fast responses to fence malfunctions, reducing the risk of animal escapes and improving overall process control.
• Cost Savings Through Theft Prevention: GPS tracking minimizes the chances of theft or loss, ensuring continuous operation without interruptions.

How Smart Process Management Transformed Farming Operations

"This technology has revolutionized how we manage our livestock. The process automation and real-time alerts have made it possible to focus on higher-value tasks while maintaining top-notch security." – Armin Kühn, Head of Development, Horizont Group.

Strategic Importance: Digital Process Management and IoT Integration for Future Growth

The collaboration with Mobile2b was a significant step in Horizont's digital transformation strategy. The flexible myBusiness.AI platform enables Horizont to scale its IoT process management solutions, opening doors to future innovations, such as:
