FAQ

Our technology brings cameras and Artificial Intelligence (AI) directly into your barn to give you detailed, 24/7 insights into the well-being and health of your animals. Here’s how it works in simple terms:

1. The Eyes in the Barn: High-Resolution Cameras

Special cameras are installed in your barn to continuously record the animals' behavior. These cameras are designed not to disturb the animals and to provide clear images even in typical barn lighting conditions.

2. The Animal Becomes the Sensor The key difference from conventional systems is that we observe the animal directly. Instead of just measuring environmental parameters like temperature or humidity, we analyze the behavior of each individual animal. This turns the animal itself into the most important sensor. We capture how active the animals are, their eating and drinking habits, and how they move within the flock.

3. The Brain of the Operation: Artificial Intelligence The recorded footage is analyzed in real-time by our AI. This AI has been trained on countless hours of video material and has learned to distinguish normal animal behaviors from abnormal deviations. The AI recognizes early signs of:

• Stress: Changes in flock behavior, restlessness.

• Illness: Apathy, reduced eating or drinking, altered movement patterns.

• Injuries: Limping or favoring certain limbs.

4. Clear, Actionable Recommendations for You When our system detects an anomaly, you receive an immediate notification on your smartphone or computer. This allows you to intervene early, treat sick animals faster, or optimize housing conditions before a problem spreads to the entire flock. This not only improves animal welfare but also secures your productivity through fewer losses and better feed conversion.

Our technology improves animal welfare by detecting problems early and helping you proactively care for the health of your animals.

Early Detection of Illness and Stress

The system works like a watchful eye, keeping track of every animal 24/7. Our AI detects even minimal behavioral changes that indicate the onset of illness or stress—often long before they are visible to the human eye.

• Faster Intervention: You receive an automatic notification if an animal, for example, eats less, isolates itself from the group, or shows signs of distress. This allows you to treat the animal early, reducing suffering and improving the chances of recovery.

• Stress Reduction: The AI analyzes the behavior of the entire herd/flock. Signs of stress caused by, for example, high stocking density, an unfavorable climate, or disturbances are detected immediately. You can address the cause specifically and thus ensure a calmer, stress-free environment.

Optimization of Housing Conditions

Through the continuous analysis of animal behavior, you gain valuable data on how your animals actually feel in their environment.

• Better Barn Climate: You can see directly how the animals react to adjustments in feeding, ventilation, or lighting. This allows you to perfectly tailor the conditions in the barn to the needs of the herd/flock.

• Injury Prevention: The system can also detect aggressive behaviors like feather pecking or cannibalism early on. This allows you to intervene before serious injuries occur in the herd/flock.

By receiving direct feedback from the animals themselves, you can ensure they are doing well. Instead of relying only on technical measurements, the well-being of each individual animal takes center stage.

We know that every farm is different. That's why we offer different packages that adapt to your individual needs and the size of your barn. Our pricing is transparent and designed to offer you clear value.

2. Custom-Kit

Our custom-kit solution for large farms or companies with multiple locations, aiming for full integration into their processes.

• Hardware: Includes an individual amount of cameras and complete system integration.

• Price: On Request

This package is fully customized to your operational procedures. We provide intensive consultation, handle all planning, and manage the complete on-site installation and commissioning.

Why "Price on Request"? The Professional and Enterprise packages require a precise analysis of your on-site conditions to ensure optimal coverage and functionality. A flat-rate price would not do justice to these individual requirements. Contact us for a no-obligation consultation—we will be happy to create a customized offer that fits your farm perfectly.

The subscription is your all-inclusive, worry-free package. It ensures that your system not only runs smoothly and securely today, but also remains on the cutting edge of technology in the future.

Specifically, the following four core services are included:

1. Access to the Analysis Platform (Cloud) You get full access to your clear, online platform. Here you can view all important evaluations, statistics, and health data of your animals at any time and from anywhere—whether on the office PC or on your smartphone.

2. Continuous Software Updates We are constantly developing the software to simplify operation and add new, useful features. These updates are rolled out automatically, so you always work with the best and most modern version without having to worry about anything.

3. Upgraded AI Models This is the heart of your system. Our Artificial Intelligence is constantly learning. With regular updates, the system's ability to analyze animal behavior becomes more precise. This ensures that the detection performance always remains at the highest level.

4. Technical Support If you have questions about operation or need technical assistance, our team is here to help. We support you quickly and easily via phone or email, ensuring you get the most out of your system.

In summary, the fee covers the entire operation, maintenance, and, most importantly, the intelligent advancement of your system.

Your data stays on your farm. Protecting your operational data is our highest priority.

Local Storage on Your Farm

 

All video footage from the cameras is stored directly on-site at your farm on a small, robust server. This means: Not a single image or video leaves your farm. You maintain full control over all recordings at all times.

The AI analysis of the images also takes place directly on this server.

 

Transmission of Pure Analysis Data

 

Only the results of this analysis are transmitted to our cloud platform. This consists of purely numerical data and metrics—for example, statistics on activity, feeding behavior, or a warning message if the system detects an anomaly.

Think of it this way: The AI watches the videos at your location and then sends us only the finished, anonymous report with the results, but not the videos themselves. This is how we combine maximum data security for you with the powerful analytics of our platform.

Your system is kept up-to-date by us automatically and continuously. This way, you benefit from all advancements without any effort on your part.

Updates via the Internet

 

The only requirement is that the small server on your farm is connected to the internet. We deploy all necessary updates directly to your system via this connection.

This process runs in the background and does not disrupt the operation of your system or your daily barn routine.

---

 

What do the updates include?

 

Our updates ensure that your system does not become outdated over time, but actually becomes even better and more powerful. They cover two important areas:

1. Feature Updates: We continuously improve the user interface, add new, useful functions, and optimize overall performance.

2. Improved AI Models: This is the crucial point. Our image recognition algorithms are constantly learning. With the updates, your system receives the latest and most intelligent versions of our AI. This makes the analysis of animal behavior more precise, and the system can detect potential problems even more reliably and earlier.

This is how we ensure that you always benefit from the latest technological advancements and receive the best possible support for your animal management.
