Industrial Engineer developing Food & Beverage supply chains
Global economic cycles and new technologies are rapidly transforming both our business environment and daily lives. In order to adapt, organizations must execute on revised strategic plans coupled with informed decision-making, effective utilization of resources, and innovative workflows. This is important because long-term gross domestic product (GDP) growth depends on it.
Industrial engineering is a field that uses scientific, engineering, and mathematical principles to optimize complex systems. Industrial engineers design and analyze systems that include people, equipment, materials, information, and energy to improve processes and operations. They consider many factors, such as cost, safety, and environmental concerns to ensure work is done efficiently.

Industry 1.0 | Physical Labor (Min. Wage - $80k)
In the past, feed production was a herculean task. Hand tools, animal power, and rudimentary grinding yielded monotonous rations, ill-suited for diverse needs. A far cry from the precise science and customized blends of today's industry.
Industry 2.0 | Management ($40k - $250k)
Teams and Assembly lines drive productivity. Steam gave way to electric motors, powering mechanized mills and conveyor belts. Feed production adopted assembly lines, standardizing formulations for different livestock species. However, customization remained limited.
Industry 3.0 | Information ($100k - $100m)
Communication became paramount. PLCs entered the scene, enabling basic automation and data collection. Mills began tailoring feeds to factors like grain composition and regional variations. This was the early dawn of precision nutrition.
Industry 4.0 | Knowledge ($1m - $100 billions)
AI: Smart sensors gather data across the entire supply chain, from soil health to animal performance. AI algorithms analyze this data, driving:
Precision Agriculture: Drones scout fields, sensors monitor soil and weather, and AI optimizes irrigation and fertilization, boosting yields and resource efficiency.
Automated Harvesting and Logistics: Self-driving tractors equipped with GPS and robotic arms navigate fields with precision, minimizing losses. Intelligent logistics systems ensure grains reach mills at peak freshness.
Smart Milling and Blending: AI tailors milling processes and ingredient ratios to create precise feed formulations for individual animals or flocks, considering age, genetics, and environmental factors.
Connected Transportation and Real-time Tracking: GPS-enabled trucks with temperature sensors ensure efficient delivery. Blockchain technology tracks ingredients, building trust and traceability for consumers.
Smart Feeders and Precision Nutrition: Automated feeders equipped with RFID tags dispense customized portions, minimizing waste. Real-time data on animal health further refines feed formulations, creating a closed-loop system for continuous improvement.
✅ The Benefits
Enhanced Efficiency and Productivity: Reduced waste, streamlined operations, and customized feeds mean better profits and a healthier planet.
Improved Animal Health and Welfare: Precise nutrition boosts growth and animal well-being, leading to higher quality meat and dairy products.
Environmental Sustainability: Reduced water and energy consumption, minimized pesticide use, and efficient waste management pave the way for sustainability.
Transparency and Traceability: Blockchain ensures trust and visibility across the supply chain, promoting ethical sourcing practices.
❌ Challenges
Infrastructure gaps, data security concerns, and workforce upskilling require proactive solutions. But with collaboration and innovation, we can bridge these gaps and ensure that every bite tells a story of efficiency, sustainability, and well-being – from the farmer's field to consumer's plate.
Industry 5.0 | Wisdom (more than $1 trillion)
It is not just about technology; it's about humans, nurturing a healthier planet, happier animals, and a more sustainable future for generations to come. So, let's embrace the steam and the sensor, working together to ensure that every farm becomes a fertile ground for innovation, and every animal thrives under the watchful eye of intelligent care. Trillion-dollar business ideas are concepts with immense potential to transform industries and generate significant revenue. Here are a few examples that I am excited about:
Vertical Farming and Sustainable Food Systems
Universal Quantum Computing Platform
Global High-Speed Transportation Network
Space Exploration and Colonization
Advanced Biotech and Regenerative Medicine
Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) Development
Global Water Management and Desalination
Next-Generation Renewable Energy Solutions
Comprehensive Cybersecurity Platform
Open-Source Education and Skills Development
These ideas require significant investment, innovation, and collaboration to achieve such enormous growth potential.
Born in 1988
From age 4, Sory dreamed of being a farmer, cultivating growth from scratch. While he didn't become a traditional farmer, his passion for nurturing growth remains strong. He fuels his endeavors with a desire to take risks and push boundaries. Sory is an african immigrant to the United States and a international entrepreneur.
Immigrated to America in 2008
On December 19 2008, President Bush announced US$17.4 billion in emergency loans to U.S. carmakers, President Obama announced his final cabinet pick, and a 19-year old Sory began his first day as an International Student (then became a citizen) in the United States after fulfilling a year on a Malian national merit-based scholarship in Morocco.
Graduated College in 2018
Today, Sory is a results-oriented Industrial Engineering leader with a diverse background and a global perspective. He is ultra-committed to creating value in world markets by helping bridge the gap between high-quality U.S. manufacturing technologies and African agribusiness value-chains, thus stimulating growth in win-win relationships.
More specifically, Sory is a certified Lean Six-Sigma (6σ) black belt who actively seeks technological innovation, and applies engineering principles within corn & soybean value chains to translate his strategic vision into valuable customer-centric actions.
