Improving animal health through data exchange with Azure Event Hub and Kafka

This organization is the hub of information exchange between veterinarians and livestock farmers in the field of animal health. Based on this information, this company realizes concrete, pragmatic products and services for sustainable animal health together with its customers and partners. It also enables livestock farmers, veterinarians and in-house researchers to easily consult historical data of herds.

A customer portal is available for farmers, their veterinarians and transporters. In this portal, they can follow which veterinary programs are running, which laboratory tests have been requested, what the status is and what results and results have come out of them. The portal provides a detailed overview of years of historical data on herds. This customer portal has various apps, so that this data is appropriately available at any time and in any place.  

AMIS Conclusion has created a data exchange hub that ensures that data from the various business chains and systems becomes available. The data ends up in Azure Event Streaming from the source systems and is collected and transformed into the desired form for the portal and the apps.

By implementing Event Streaming in combination with Kafka adapters, the relevant data can be retrieved from the source systems directly to Azure Event Hubs. In this way, any relevant change to the source data is immediately transmitted to the Streaming platform. As a result, the data is quickly available and the burden on the source systems is minimal. In Azure, the further processing of the data takes place, after which it is offered to the portal system and the apps. This makes it easy to add even more customers to the data in the future.

At the moment, data is retrieved from various functional domains and tens of thousands of messages are processed per day. AMIS Conclusion has been an innovative partner for this company for years and recognizes how important information processing is. AMIS Conclusion has taken the exchange of information to a higher level, both internally and externally. The result is that the customer portal, the consuming systems and external connectors process changes almost instantly. This results in an enormous acceleration in the innovative power. This also gives higher customer satisfaction because there is now almost immediate insight into the current state of affairs.
