IdeaEdit

Ixoriguè is made up of farmers, technologists and economists who joined efforts to solve what we believe are the 3 key challenges farmers have: limited profitability, loss of time due to manual tasks and poor traceability of livestock data.

We have created a solution comprising of Hardware (collar sensor) and Software (farmer platform) to enable farmers to digitize their cattle. Cows location and activity data are collected, uploaded using NB-IOT and LoRaWAN networks (ideal for rural areas with poor or no network at all) to the server and processed to detect key behaviours or specific situations, such as illness, loss, death, heat, pregnancy or birth.

What started as a research and development project with Aragon Government in 2015, has turned into a sophisticated solution that will be ready for mass commercialization before the end of 2021. This comes after a 2020 pilot in which 500 cows were successfully tracked. Farmers from Spain & other countries in Europe and Latin America are registering their interest to access the product when we formally launch.

We've also had great national and local media coverage, highlighting Ixorigue's innovative solution, having already been cited as one of the Top 20 Agritech startups in Spain in 2021. Raising now to be ready for our commercial launch, increasing our marketing budget and optimize the solution for international expansion.
