BIOLANglobal digital platform, tool for a better global food safety

Digital transformation and the use of big data is revolutionising businesses in many sectors due to the wealth of information and insights it can provide. The use of digital technologies such as IoT, automation and blockchain can help address industry's sustainability challenges, while improving product quality and increasing marketability. More and more, digitalisation has become an important tool for companies seeking to remain competitive and profitable in a rapidly changing global marketplace.

Digitalisation has the potential to revolutionise all existing sectors, especially the food sector, as it is one of the most dynamic and important for the global economy. Thanks to digitalisation and analytical techniques, we can now collect and exploit data from the sea and the field to the table, reducing costs, optimising processes or identifying trends that help in decision-making.

BIOLAN, Basque biotech company with more than 10 years of experience in the food sector (focusing on the fish, crustacean and dairy sectors), is a pioneer in offering connected and intelligent methods that help the industry to maintain a high level of vigilance over its purchases, transformation processes and final products. The BIOLANglobal platform is a good example of this, as it records the analyses performed by BIO 3000 and BIO 7000 in the cloud, connected biosensors capable of detecting and quantifying molecules related to food quality and safety.

More and more clients are benefiting from the advantages of integrating BIOLANglobal into their day-to-day operations and having laboratory results available in real time. Each analytical result is recorded in the cloud, with detailed and unalterable information that can be accessed from any device. In addition, users can obtain a global view of all their plants and customise their workspace with alerts and filters, as well as receive individualised technical assistance, significantly improving daily monitoring activities. Among its functionalities, stand out the visualisation and downloading of results, the global tracking of analyses and the creation of customised reports, saving time and effort when reporting the results of the analyses.

One of BIOLAN’s uniqueness is that research, development and production of technology is all done in house. Strong vocation for innovation and commitment to internationalisation also makes them recognisable. BIOLAN currently has 8 sales offices around the world that allow to be close to customers and detect new market needs: Zamudio (Head Office), Morocco, Mexico, Ecuador, Chile, Thailand, Indonesia and the Philippines. Present in more than 60 countries and close to 500 customers, mainly in the Asian and Latin American markets, it has an export rate of 80%. The ability to adapt products and solutions to a specific country or customer gives BIOLAN a flexibility that translates into a very specific know-how that is highly valued by its customers. All this thanks to continuous innovation and the interdependence and collaboration between the different areas of knowledge of the company, which has recently added a team of software developers.
