 Pain Points Solved 

To address the labor shortage in poultry farming and satisfy biosecurity requirements, a smart animal management robot system is used to achieve precise animal weight measurement and real-time health monitoring, thereby reducing labor costs and improving management efficiency.

 Technology Introduction 

• AI Chicken Weight Measurement and Anomaly Detection
• Multi-factor Identification: Identifies animal activity levels and symptoms (including head, back, soles of feet, feces, and sound).
• Real-time Feature Tagging and Dead Bird Transport
• AIoT System: Detects ground moisture status and automatically turns the soil to improve the environment.
