The study from Cornell Researchers, “Transdisciplinary MBSE in Developing the Ruminant Farm Systems (RuFaS) Model,” (Hu et al., 2025) demonstrates how MBSE, supported by SPEC Innovations’ flagship software, Innoslate, can help tackle one of agriculture’s most pressing challenges: sustainable manure management on dairy farms. This case study highlights their research approach, showcases Innoslate’s critical role in the process, and explores how MBSE tools can unlock innovation in unexpected industries.
