ABC （AI BIOLOGICAL CAMERA）

ABC（AI Buta/Biological Camera）

This robot is a camera robot that works with a weight estimation system, which enables pig producers to estimate the weight of pigs by taking 3D photos from the ceiling of the pig farm and uploading them to the cloud. This is a groundbreaking product that has been achieved by combining the AI analysis technology of Eco-Pork, the world's only pig-farming-based data company, with our hardware development technology.

AI and 3D cameras solve the problem of heavy workloads

出荷される豚は重すぎても軽すぎても価格が下がるため体重測定は養豚における重要な作業です。豚は神経質な動物で嫌がったり暴れるため一頭一頭体重計に載せて測ることは重労働となっています。この課題を解決するためにAIを用いて豚の3Dカメラ写真を処理して体重を推計するシステムが考案されました。

Automatic running in the pig farm to estimate body weight

This robot is a camera robot that takes 3D photos of pigs from the ceiling of the piggery and uploads them to the cloud in this weight estimation system. It consists of a home station, a camera robot and a ceiling rail. Starting from the home station, the camera robot automatically travels along the rail like a monorail, takes photos of the pig farm at predetermined positions, returns to the home station and uploads the photos to the cloud. Scheduling of the photo shoot can be set remotely via the cloud. The camera robot is automatically recharged at the home station, so once it is up and running, it can weigh the pigs every day without any hassle, and can play a major role not only in shipment decisions but also in fattening management.

Reliability to operate even in harsh environments

The extremely harsh environment of pig farms, with high summer temperatures, humidity and fine dust similar to desert sand, led to the development of a robot camera for the pig farming industry, thanks to the reliability and operational stability developed with our solar panel cleaning robots for the Middle East.

AI and 3D cameras solve the problem of heavy workloads

Weighing is an important task in pig farming, as pigs that are too heavy or too light for shipment will be priced lower. As pigs are nervous animals and can be uncooperative or violent, it is not easy to weigh multiple pigs weighing as much as 100 kg on a scale. To solve this problem, a system was devised that uses AI to process 3D camera photos of pigs and estimate their weight.
