Our Business

RBI has successfully managed well-structured swiftlet farming houses across various regions in Indonesia. These facilities have consistently contributed to the growth of swiftlet populations and the production of high-quality raw edible bird’s nests.

The bird’s nests produced from RBI-managed farms are known for their distinctive qualities—characterized by low nitrite (NO₂) content, smoother texture, whiter color, and optimal weight that meets industry standards.

In addition to building new swiftlet farming facilities, RBI also partners with existing farmers by acquiring conventionally managed farms and upgrading them to meet RBI’s standards. This transformation enhances the quality, quantity, and market value of the bird’s nests produced.

RBI’s Own Swiftlet Farmhouses
Management & Operation

Business Scheme – Self-Reliant and Fully Controlled Swiftlet Farming

RBI fully owns, manages, and operates its own swiftlet farmhouses without relying on third parties. All swiftlet farming activities are conducted in-house, ensuring complete control over quality, security, and sustainability. This self-reliant approach reflects RBI’s commitment to high operational standards and integrity throughout every stage of the process—from maintenance to harvest. By not outsourcing any ownership or management aspects, RBI guarantees consistent and premium-quality bird’s nest production aligned with its core values and long-term vision.

Technology

Temperature and Humidity Sensors

Temperature and Humidity Sensors

The living environment of swiftlets significantly affects the quality of edible bird’s nests. Therefore, maintaining cleanliness, as well as monitoring and controlling temperature and humidity, is crucial.

Alarm Notification System

Alarm Notification System

An alarm system ensures the security of the swiftlet farming house, providing real-time notifications. A defined action plan also accompanies alarm notifications.

Real-Time Monitoring

Real-Time Monitoring

All activities within the swiftlet farming house are recorded in the system and can be monitored anytime and anywhere through integrated IoT technology.

CCTV & Automated Lock System

CCTV & Automated Lock System

CCTV and an automated lock system provide enhanced security for the swiftlet farming house.

Swiftlet Population Monitoring Sensors

Swiftlet Population Monitoring Sensors

The number of swiftlets in a farming house can be regularly monitored to help maintain the quality of the bird’s nests.

Audio System

Audio System

An audio system is used to attract swiftlets to come and nest in the swiftlet farming house.

AI-Based Survey & iONest Sytem

RBI utilizes artificial intelligence (AI) to assess the feasibility of swiftlet farmhouses. This AI-based survey serves as an intangible asset, providing data-driven insights to evaluate the suitability and potential of new swiftlet farmhouse development. By analyzing key parameters, the system generates reliable decision-making recommendations to support strategic planning.

iON-est: Smart Bird Nest Control & Monitoring

Smart measuring system built to monitor humidity and temperature of the swallow nest and provide notification if any abnormalities happen as well as a recap of the bird nest population.

One-Click Solution

The iONest system enables full automation of swiftlet farmhouse operations, accessible anytime and anywhere with just one click.

Architectural Works

RBI has developed and patented our architectural design for swiftlet farming houses. These farmhouses are specifically designed to be compatible with RBI’s advanced technology, an Automation System integrated with Internet of Things (IoT), enhancing operational efficiency and ensuring the production of premium-quality raw edible bird’s nests.

Augmented Bird’s Voice

RBI has successfully understood the language of Swiftlets through our research and development efforts. We have recorded the unique vocalizations of these birds in the form of audio recordings and used to attract swiftlets to inhabit and build nests in our farmhouses. The bird audio recording files are protected by patents owned by RBI.
