Abstract
The invention relates to a facility for farming insects, the facility comprising automated guided vehicles (AGV) configured to move containers within the facility. The automated guided vehicles (AGV) include at least one automated sensor-equipped guided vehicle (AGVI) which is provided with at least one sensor for measuring a parameter that is characteristic of a state of the facility. The invention thus developed enables monitoring of the state of a facility to be optimised in a facility for farming insects by taking advantage of the means used to transport the containers within the facility.
Claims15
A farm for rearing insects, said farm comprising a first zone (Z1) in which insects are stored during their growth in containers (C1, C2) and a second zone (Z2) comprising at least one station (P1, P2) configured for performing an operation on the insects of a container or on said container;
- the farm comprising automated guided vehicles (AGV) configured for the movement of the containers in the farm, that is to say within the first zone (Z1), and/or within the second zone (Z2), and between the first zone (Z1) and the second zone (Z2),
- characterized in that said automated guided vehicles (AGV) comprise at least one instrument-equipped automated guided vehicle (IAGV), said instrument-equipped automated guided vehicle (IAGV) being equipped with at least one sensor (2) configured to perform a measurement of a parameter characteristic of a state of the farm.
A method Method for verifying a state of a farm for rearing insects comprising a first zone (Z1) in which the insects are stored during their growth in containers (C1, C2) and a second zone (Z2) comprising at least one station (P1, P2) configured for the carrying out of an operation on the insects of a container or on said container, the farm comprising automated guided vehicles (AGV) configured for the movement of the containers in the farm, that is to say within the first zone (Z1), and/or within the second zone (Z2), and between the first zone (Z1) and the second zone (Z2),
- said method being characterized by the measurement of a parameter characteristic of the state of the farm by an instrument-equipped automated guided vehicle (IAGV) equipped with at least one sensor configured to make the measurement of said parameter characteristic of the state of the farm.
