Case Study: Innovafeed Achieves 500% Production Growth with Tulip

Innovafeed is growing production by 500% with Tulip

Innovafeed, a biotechnology company operating the world’s largest insect farm in Nesle, France, needed a flexible, user-friendly production system to support rapidly changing processes. Its teams were relying on disconnected tools like Google Sheets and Zoho Forms, which created gaps, inefficiencies, and a lack of standardization across work centers, while also increasing the need for full traceability and automation in a highly novel production environment. Tulip provided the digital foundation, including composable MES functionality, to help unify these operations.

With Tulip, Innovafeed built unified systems for production, warehousing, and traceability, while process engineers used Tulip apps and Automations to rapidly iterate shop floor workflows and orchestrate thousands of container movements. The result was real-time end-to-end genealogy and compliance, improved quality and conformity, and a scalable infrastructure supporting growth from 5,000 to 30,000 pallets per day. Tulip also helped Innovafeed achieve over 2 million transactions per month across more than 160 automations, enabling the company to scale production by 500%.
