Agrifood

Energetically and environmentally sustainable Halloumi cheese production

  • Cyprus
  • SUMMARY
  • Domain: Agrifood
  • Partners: GreenSupplyChain DIH
  • Goal: The pilot uses O-CEI technologies for IoT-based monitoring and energy optimization, aiming to reduce the energy footprint per kilogram of dairy product in Cyprus, promoting sustainable farming despite challenging climates.
  • Livestock farming and the dairy industry are vital to Cyprus’s economy but face significant challenges from rising energy costs and the unstable agro-environmental conditions affected by climate change.
  • PILOT SCENARIOS
1

IoT-Assisted Livestock

Management based on Edge

Intelligence and automation

 

Cyprus

 

The pilot optimizes energy use in stables by using smart metering devices, thus ensuring animal welfare through the reduction of heat stress.

2

Controlled sharing of data

from various stables to the

dairy production factory

 

Cyprus

 

The pilot improves the planning and optimization of energy consumption across the dairy production chain through accurate scheduling and forecasting of production cycles, focusing on dataset sharing, semantic interoperability, and mechanisms for access control, authorization, authentication, and trust.

Intelligent selection of energy

mix for dairy production

 

Cyprus

 

This scenario optimizes cheese production’s energy sources (local grid, solar panels, and other available options) according to daily needs by balancing their use, discovering energy consumption insights, and providing optimization recommendations that reduce environmental

impact and cost.

4

Calculation of energy footprint

of dairy (halloumi) products

 

Cyprus

 

This scenario aggregates energy footprint per unit of production by accounting for energy consumption across the entire production chain, while digital evidence for sustainability labelling and regulatory reporting enhances the trustworthiness of

halloumi production.
