Edaflow

Our operating and data system for processing sites.

Our processing is a logistics puzzle as well as a biological one. Tens of thousands of cubic metres get received, mixed, moved, aerated, turned, screened, customised and shipped out. Efficiency counts. Every unnecessary movement or step lands directly on the cost per tonne.

Edaflow is our proprietary system to run our sites. Sensors in the process, LiDAR and cameras to monitor exactly what is happening on site, and AI-enabled decision making to optimise the process. By automating work instructions for our site operators, we keep staff overheads to a bare minimum.

The thousands of data points we generate land in our database, enabling us to improve our processes continuously. In addition, our off-takers get detailed information on carbon footprint per batch, and on fossil fertiliser replaced with circular fertiliser.

01 What it does

Sense, decide, act, record

Edaflow measures what a compost site is actually doing, decides what needs to happen next, and does it. Core temperature in every bay, pile volume, moisture, weather, and every load in and out. Aeration is corrected automatically, work instructions go to the driver, and every reading and action lands in one database.

Combining those parameters optimises process speed, for the fastest throughput at the highest quality, with the lowest cost per tonne.

Sense

In the process

Wireless core-temperature probes in every bay and windrow, LiDAR scanning pile volume, and moisture readings.

Control

On site

A controller at the bays runs the loop itself: fan speed follows core temperature, within set limits.

Record

One database

Every reading, batch, movement, and litre of diesel is logged against the bay it belongs to.

Report / instruct

Output

Task lists on the driver's screen, dashboards for the off-site manager, a life-cycle analysis per batch, and an auditable trail for ESG and carbon claims.

02 Running a site lean

Work instructions, not a planning department

Small and mid-sized processing sites only pay off if they run lean. Hiring a planner for a site in a remote area rarely makes sense. Edaflow does that job continuously, and tells the driver what to do next.

Tasks generated from live site status, with priority, timing, and volume
Loader routes resequenced to cut idle time and empty movements
Instant flags on missed or incorrect actions, straight to the off-site manager
Input availability and sales-ready stock calculated automatically
Every action logged, for audits and carbon traceability

It runs our composting site in Portugal today, guiding operators through daily tasks, routes, and vehicle checks from a handheld device.

03 Soil and carbon reporting

The data trail comes out the other end

Because every tonne, every phase, and every kilowatt is already logged, reporting is a by-product of running the site rather than a separate exercise. Reports are generated periodically in a shareable cockpit, with full traceability back to supply, lab, and application data, including GPS application zones.

Exportable to ESG and carbon accounting tools
Structured to feed certification and carbon credit processes

(Exact reporting requirements vary by country and by your reporting obligations, worth checking with your auditor directly.)
