Success Story with the Government of Colombia: Silkworm Production
Agriculture – Sericulture
Success story with the Government of Colombia: How the Government increased silk production in different regions of the country with TBBC as their ally
Although the silk industry in Colombia is in its early stages (According to the Colombian Silk Association, in 2019 the country had over 200,000 people dependent on this market), it has the potential to grow significantly in the future. The country has several advantages, including favorable climate, skilled workforce, and a growing demand for silk products due to their unique shine and texture.
One of their goals is to be highly competitive, leveraging the benefits of technology for better outcomes.

Challenges
What did the Government of Colombia need to address?
To enhance competitiveness in international markets, the government aimed to adopt advanced technologies, increase efficiency, and reduce production costs.
Solutions
Scope of TBBC’s presented solution:
- Analyzing collected data to predict the optimal feeding time for silkworms based on environmental and behavioral factors.
- Providing early alerts to sericulturists, enabling quick adjustments for maintaining an optimal state.
Scope
2: Data analysis:
Collected data is analyzed to predict the optimal feeding time for silkworms based on environmental and behavioral factors.
3: Early notifications:
Sericulturists are promptly notified with early alerts, allowing them to adjust conditions appropriately and maintain an optimal state.
Components of TBBC’s solution:
- Deployment of IoT sensors to monitor production variables such as humidity, temperature, luminosity, and silkworm growth behavior.
- Development of machine learning models for analyzing data and predicting the optimal feeding time based on environmental and behavioral factors.
- Delivering early alert notifications to sericulturists when conditions fluctuate, allowing for quick adjustments to return to optimal states.
Results
Automation of the business process (silkworm management and care) using IoT and data analysis resulted in:
- 100% increase in silk thread production.
- 30% increase in regional income.
