- Type Operational group
- Status In progress
- Execution 2024 -2027
- Assigned Budget 424.720,00 €

- Project website GO HELIXCONTROL
The digitalisation of all the accumulated data and its specialised validation will allow the software that is put into use to be truly useful for all users. Likewise, the creation of software or an application for a sector as specific as Heliciculture can also be a good example for other types of small agricultural production, in which large data management companies are not interested and are far from being able to digitalise at the same pace as other livestock sectors.
Currently, the heliciculture sector does not have any specific software or application on the market that allows for the digitalization of snail farms. HELIXCONTROL, as an innovative project, represents an opportunity to develop innovative products that aid in the control of different aspects of snail farming, such as microbiological and animal health, which are essential in a sector like heliciculture, which also lacks access to approved medications for snails.
Standardization of analog data for fattening farms. Standardization of analog data for reproduction farms (maternity). Comparison of analog and digital data for fattening farms. Comparison of analog and digital data for reproduction farms. Digitalization of fattening data. Digitalization of reproduction data. Dissemination
Have specific software or applications on the market that allow for the digitalization of snail farms and help improve various aspects: health, production, and economics.
A specialized application will not only allow for accurate data collection for the type of production, but will also lead to improvements in production. Standardizing production data at the different stages will not only promote a better overall understanding of the situation of snail farms, but will also allow for recommendations for future improvements. Improvements to snail farms will ensure their economic viability and also improve their image for future producers. Ultimately, the economic improvements will also be confirmed by savings in inputs, which leads to less environmental carbonization.
