The Best Diary Tech Company in the Market: Stellapps

Smart System, Stellar Applications

In the olden days, dairy and technology were two different things. Many used normal methods and basic tech for this industry. It was Stellapps who came into the market as an end-to-end dairy technology solutions company – the first of its kind in India. It is an IIT-Madras incubated company founded by a group of IITians and technologists with a strong industry background and rich experience including IIT-Madras, IIT-Kharagpur and IIM-Ahmedabad alumni, with over 18 years of Industry experience across Wipro, Nortel, Ericsson, Alcatel-Lucent, AT&T, Vodafone, Telstra, Bharti-Airtel, Aircel, Avaya, Cisco et al.

The firm produces and procures comprehensive farm optimization and monitoring support, which helps dairy farmers and cooperatives maximize profits while minimizing effort. Stellapps is funded by Omnivore Capital – a fund anchored by Godrej Agrovet Limited and investment patrons include a large group of IIT alumni. The company’s innovative applications and state-of-the-art mechanization tools leverage the Internet of Things (IoT), Big Data, Cloud, Mobility, and Data Analytics to improve Agri- supply chain parameters, including milk production, milk procurement, cold chain, animal insurance and farmer payments.

The Company’s Main Attraction

Its SmartMoo™ IoT router and in-premise IoT Controller acquire data via sensors that are embedded in Milking Systems, Animal Wearable, Milk Chilling Equipment & Milk Procurement Peripherals, and transmit the same to the Stellapps SmartMoo™ Big Data Cloud Service Delivery Platform (SDP) where the SmartMoo™ suite of applications analyse and crunch the received data before disseminating the Analytics & Data Science outcome to various stakeholders over low-end and smart mobile devices. The patent-pending hardware and software are designed to scale horizontally across other industry verticals.

The SmartMoo™ Cloud is capable of supporting data arising out of tens of millions of litres of milk through the milk production, procurement and cold chain flow across millions of farmers.
