Program Description
The CPF Smart Prototype Farm Efficiency Enhancement Project aims to establish a comprehensive ecosystem within CPF by integrating the synergies of the Feed Business, Layer Business, and AXONS, connecting all equipment through AI and IoT sensors. This initiative drives the transformation towards a fully intelligent farm under the concept of “Developing Poultry Specialists Who Never Retire.”
The project equips farms with IoT systems and intelligent dashboards that provide real-time environmental monitoring—such as temperature, humidity, and wind speed—while identifying risks and providing instant alerts. In addition, the system monitors hen health at the flock level and utilizes AI cameras to capture and analyze egg quality, classifying eggs (e.g., stained, cracked, pale, patterned, or misshapen) and diagnosing hen health issues to support targeted corrective and effective measures.
Business benefits of the program
This project elevates egg farm management to a fully integrated smart farm capable of managing the entire production chain with AI. It enhances decision-making efficiency, reduces risks, and enables continuous improvements in production quality. Moreover, it fosters organizational expertise by advancing the use of “AI-to-AI interaction,” cultivating poultry specialists with knowledge and capabilities that endure beyond generational limits.
Quantitative Impact to the business
The Smart Egg Farm under this project targets egg production performance at 104% of the standard benchmark (from 100%), generating an additional profit of approximately THB 2.81 million per year. This represents not only enhanced business value but also sustainable advancement in technological innovation, and promote food security for the societies.



Program Description
The DC Logistic & Mid Mile CP Axtra Project aims to optimize logistics and transportation efficiency through the concept of Hyper Fulfillment. The initiative streamlines delivery operations by reducing delivery frequency from 10 trips per week to only 4 trips, utilizing Hyper Trucks with higher loading capacity. To ensure uninterrupted supply, stock levels are maintained up to 7 days in advance. Furthermore, a tailored replenishment system has been designed specifically for “Go Fresh” products using HY Trucks as the primary delivery mode.
Business benefits of the program
This project enhances transportation efficiency, reduces logistics costs, and improves inventory management accuracy. It also increases flexibility in product distribution across CP’s retail networks, contributing to the modernization of logistics infrastructure and ensuring stronger responsiveness to consumer demand.
Quantitative Impact to the business
Development of modern logistics infrastructure and advanced distribution systems Improved warehouse efficiency, reduction of waste, and optimized resource utilization Reduction of carbon emissions through fewer delivery trips and more efficient energy use


Program Description
The Sustainable Energy Innovation and Conservation Project focuses on reducing electricity consumption through intelligent management of telecommunication towers. By applying data science, the project identifies 5,764 target towers for signal rest, expanded from the initial 2,882 towers. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is integrated with smart breakers to define signal rest criteria during low-usage periods, ensuring that customer experience and network speed remain unaffected.
Business benefits of the program
This project improves energy efficiency, reduces electricity costs, and strengthens a sustainable digital ecosystem. It also serves as a model for applying advanced technology to enhance operational performance while addressing both business and environmental priorities.
Quantitative Impact to the business
Achieved 10 - 13% electricity savings per tower
Cumulative cost savings of THB 11.84 million (as of August)
Reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 1,349.84 tons of carbon
