The invention relates to a facility for farming insects, the facility comprising automated guided vehicles (AGV) configured to move containers within the facility. The automated guided vehicles (AGV) include at least one automated sensor-equipped guided vehicle (AGVI) which is provided with at least one sensor for measuring a parameter that is characteristic of a state of the facility. The invention thus developed enables monitoring of the state of a facility to be optimised in a facility for farming insects by taking advantage of the means used to transport the containers within the facility.
