Main problems observed in the rice industry

Many mills use more than 50 different spreadsheets, filled in by hand and reviewed slowly by simple reading and comparison — which makes spotting failures very complex.

Raw material with quality below expectations

The industrial batch is compromised from the start when the received load does not match the expected quality — and the error only shows up later, in the yield.

Metrics' answer

  • Full classification of the load at reception, by crop
  • Clean-and-dry weight and weight corrected by the company's discount table
  • Rejection notices by parameter, with the measured value next to the limit

The setup that hurts yield

Excessive foreign material, uneven whitening or polishing, and poor separation of whole and broken grains all share the same root cause: a setup nobody measures step by step.

Metrics' answer

  • Analysis by step and by equipment, at 14 points on the line
  • Operating standard with 47 configurable parameters
  • Comparative report of up to 3 pieces of equipment side by side

Good grain going into the residue

Grain loss in the bran or husk fraction and good grains left in the electronic sorter's reject: money going out the back door, unrecorded.

Metrics' answer

  • Analyses of bran, husk and electronic sorter reject
  • The deviation appears on the operator's screen the minute the analysis is logged

The package that misses spec

Dosing errors and packages out of sealing or weighing spec reach the end customer — and come back as complaints.

Metrics' answer

  • Broken-grain dosage logged per dosing hopper
  • Brand standard by subgroup, with a limit per parameter
  • Package analysis: product shortage or excess, sealing and printing

One whole operation, in a single record

Grano Metrics follows the grain from the field to the package. Each step records what will need to be audited later.

  1. Production

    Growers, harvests, plots and fields, with cultivar and yield

  2. Reception

    Load slip, cargo classification and weight corrected for discounts

  3. Storage

    Intake pits, pre-cleaning, drying and silos, with analysis at every point

  4. Industry

    Batches and analyses at 14 points on the processing line

  5. Dispatch

    Packaged and bulk loads, contracts and automatic write-off from finished-product stock by batch and brand

  6. Traceability

    Batch tracking code and package QR code, with a public page

Batch traceability reported to the consumer, via a QR code on the package

What Metrics controls

Six fronts that cover the whole operation. You turn on the ones that make sense for your plant.

Reception and payment to the grower

The load slip, the classification by crop and the corrected weight come out ready for paying the grower.

  • Load slip at the entrance of the cargo
  • Classification by crop
  • Discount table configurable by the company
  • Clean-and-dry weight and corrected weight, calculated automatically
  • Preview of the result before saving, with bulk reprocessing when the rule changes

Storage and post-harvest

Every post-harvest step — from the intake pit to the silo — logs its own analysis. Module coming soon to the Grano Metrics plans.

  • Intake pits at the start of storage
  • Pre-cleaning before storage
  • Drying with operational analysis of the dryer
  • Silos and buffer silos, tracked individually
  • 11 analysis points across post-harvest

Industry and processing

The batch carries the 14 analysis points on the line, from parboiling to finished-product stock by brand.

  • Processing batches, from the start to the end of the line
  • 14 analysis points along the line
  • A dedicated trail for parboiled rice
  • Factory-floor log
  • Finished-product stock by batch and brand

Standards, alerts and IROG

You define what counts as "within standard" once; the system warns every time the operation steps outside it.

  • Operating standard with 47 configurable parameters (49 for parboiled rice)
  • Brand standard by subgroup, with a limit per parameter
  • Alerts with the parameter, the measured value and the reference frozen at the moment of the deviation
  • Monthly IROG combining availability, performance and quality into a single index
  • Monthly summary written by Metrics AI alongside the IROGbeta

Dispatch and traceability

The load leaves with the batch tracking code and the brand QR code — the same data that reaches the public consumer page. Traceability coming soon to the Grano Metrics plans.

  • Packaged and bulk loads in the same dispatch
  • Contracts with a critical-items panel
  • Batch tracking code
  • Brand QR code
  • Public consumer page, with configurable privacy

Data, integrations and governance

Data leaves the system in the format your meeting, your ERP and your audit need.

  • Reports by batch, brand, origin, equipment, stage and operation
  • PDF and spreadsheet export, generated in the background
  • Public API for the ERP, with key, signature and idempotency
  • Permissions by module and reusable roles per company
  • Audit trail with encrypted content and configurable retention

What only Metrics does

The calculation that pays the grower, auditable

The corrected weight isn't the scale-house spreadsheet: it's your company's own discount table — impurity, moisture, whole grains, defect by defect — applied by an engine with automated tests on the classification formulas, with a preview before saving and a history of who changed each analysis.

Configured standard, automatic alert

The manager configures the limits once. From then on, every analysis outside the range becomes an alert with the parameter, the measured value and the reference frozen at the moment of the deviation — and someone has to resolve it, with a name and a note.

Processing IROG, with an executive summary written by AI

A single operational-efficiency index adapted to the rice industry: the quality dimension is measured as analyses with an alert over the total analyses. It closes the month with a written summary explaining what changed and where to focus.

Industry control panel in Grano Metrics, showing the month's IROG broken down into availability, performance and quality, the month's summary written by Metrics AI, and the alert lists by stage.

Industry panel — the month's IROG broken down into availability, performance and quality

From the load slip to the package QR code

The same record that logs the grower's load publishes the page the consumer opens at the supermarket: origin, cultivar, dates, moisture, whole grains, broken grains and polishing — with privacy controlled by the mill and the QR click tracked.

Nathalia Ribeiro Ziemer XavierQuality Manager, Arrozeira Pelotas
About Metrics we have only positive points to mention. Since the system was introduced in the company, we began monitoring the entire quality of our products in real time — something that used to be done manually, generating some errors. With Grano Metrics we were able to optimize equipment performance from the start of the process to the final stage, quickly and efficiently, and above all connecting the whole team involved. We strongly recommend this program to everyone who takes the quality and safety of their products seriously.
Gidéo Braga, Fabiana Batista and Luana AraujoQuality Manager, Production Manager and Quality Analyst, Rical
We have two main concerns: complying with legislation and meeting consumer demands. Through the software we have traceability and greater confidence in tracking rice quality, so that all the information is saved in the system, organized and with a defined routine, instead of sitting on paper and in spreadsheets. All of this makes it easier for the board and managers to gather information. We also gained more assurance and precision in tracking processes, which happens in real time, making it possible to stop or correct a procedure that is out of standard at the moment of the analysis, letting nothing slip by. The reports point out the mill's problem areas, so our communication in meetings is much more objective, making decision-making easier.

Frequently asked questions

How are my data security and audit trail handled?

Access is controlled by module permissions and roles defined by your company. Every call to the system is logged in an audit trail, with encrypted content and a configurable retention period.

Will the shop-floor operator be able to use it?

The system installs as an app straight from the browser, no app store, and each stage has its own form. The operator records the analysis or operation for the stage they're in, and doesn't navigate the rest of the system.

Does it integrate with my ERP?

Yes, through a public API with a per-company key, signature and idempotency identifier — your ERP posts the intake load and looks up batches without re-typing data. Development on the ERP side is done by the team that maintains it, and the scope is defined per project.

What about the scales I already have?

Metrics integrates with Garten and Bextra flow scales, through dedicated equipment installed at your plant, reading weight and accumulated totals. Without integration, production control can also be entered manually from the scale's initial and final reading.

Does it need internet? Does it work on a phone?

Metrics is a web platform and needs a connection to sync. It works on phones and tablets, and can be installed as an app straight from the browser.

Who configures the standards?

Your team defines the limits for each parameter, with support from our post-harvest specialists during rollout. The standards stay under your control and can be adjusted whenever the process changes — the alert history keeps the reference that was in force at the time, so changing a standard doesn't rewrite the past.

How long does rollout take?

It depends on the size of the plant and the modules you contract. Rollout involves registering the plant and its equipment, configuring operation and brand standards, and training the teams. Talk to us to put together the schedule for your operation.
