About Milcotech Sistèma de punt de vènda
Milcotech es un sistèma de punt de vènda per centres de collècta de lach. Milcotech enregistra l'analisi de qualitat del lach e la traçabilitat dempuèi lo pichon agricultor fins al transformador alimentari. Los agricultors e los collectors son identificats per cartas RFID, e cada liurason es pesada, testada e enregistrada. Lo sistèma emmagazina las donadas de transaccion, de quantitat e de qualitat, çò que sosten la gestion de las relacions amb los agricultors, los servicis d'extension e l'accès al finançament. Lo bastiment es fach d'acièr al carbòni e d'alumini en tres moduls que pòdon èsser reagençats sus un burèu.

- Production Technology
- 1. Black parts were made of plain carbon steel using a laser cutter machine. Fillet corners were bent using a press brake machine. All parts are electrostatic painted.
2. Silver parts were made of Aluminum using a CNC milling machine and painted using sandblasting.
3. Water Tanks, Milk analyzer, printer, RFID reader, screen, faucets are ready made products.
4. UI/UX using Adobe XD, Database: MySQL, Development Environment: .net - Design Challenge
- The most challenging part in the project development is how to integrate different products with different design elements into one design. The design features graceful, elegant sweeping curves, and the appearance of the metal gives it a sophisticated aspect and a tidy appearance.
Also, it was challenging to build the design concept on the idea of modularity which allows the user to re-arrange the three parts on the desktop to fit each user`s ergonomic preference and flow. - Research
- Milk collection is challenging in Egypt, given the fragmentation in the production of milk with 85% coming from small farmers. To maintain quality and traceability across the value chain, innovative solutions are required. Our research was conducted using interviews, site visits, stakeholder observations, and stakeholder interviews. The research resulted in stakeholder requirements workflow analysis, potential value add, and synergies to grow Milcotech as an enabler for dairy sector development.
- Inspiration
- Milk collection in Egypt is highly fragmented, 85% from milk production comes from small farmers with less than 3 cows. Challenges are: 1. milk collection, 2. maintaining milk quality, 3. providing extension services to farmers, 4. availing finance to small farmers.
The product is designed to become a hub for financial inclusion, milk traceability, in a modular design that takes into consideration the existing workflow, the capabilities at milk collection center and stakeholder needs. - Project Duration
- The project started in April 2021 in Egypt, Giza. The research spanned different rural geographies till concept finalization. The concept was manufactured in May 2022. Currently is being piloted in Tanta region.
- Operation Flow
- The farmer delivers the milk to the milk collection center and handover his RFID card, milk collection center weighs the milk, tests its quality, logs needed data to Milcotech, and accepts or rejects the milk accordingly.
The collector comes to receive the milk in bulk, hand over his RFID card, the milk collection center enters the milk quantity, and the milk processor's name and process the delivery of milk.
The system stores the transactions, financial, quantity, and milk quality in and out.
