Innovafeed Scales Production 6x to 30,000 Pallets Per Day with 160+ Tulip Automations

Innovafeed, operator of the world's largest insect farm in Nesle, France, needed to scale production from 5,000 to 30,000 pallets per day while maintaining traceability and compliance across a highly complex biological production process involving insects.

Built 160+ Tulip automations to digitize and orchestrate production workflows across the facility, including feed tracking, harvest scheduling, quality checks, and pallet labeling. Integrated with IoT sensors to monitor environmental conditions critical to insect rearing. The platform automated over 2 million transactions per month.

Scaled from 5,000 to 30,000 pallets per day (a substantial increase). Automated over 2 million transactions per month. Deployed 160+ process automations across the facility. Enabled rapid expansion without proportional growth in administrative headcount.

Novel biotech manufacturing at scale requires flexible, composable automation that can adapt to biological variability. Innovafeed's use of 160+ automations and 2M monthly transactions demonstrates Tulip's capacity as the operational backbone of a world-scale production facility.
