Track water intake and create a 15 min. prediction, if a prediction isn’t met something has changed, correlate what changed, find a cause and use language models to share findings
About
Historically operating indoor pig and poultry facilities via targets and set points has offered limited ability to recognise what housed animals may actually desire for optimal performance and health at that exact moment, no 2 batches are the same, nor are any 2 days so targets and setpoints are inherently inaccurate.
By using simple water meter data from any water meter and tracking a specific production area over 3 days it is possible to predict the next 15 minutes water consumption via AI. If the drinking behaviour prediction isn't met either the animals behaviour has been suppressed or stimulated. Next we use AI to corelate via AI all other data sources available. By finding the things that have changed preceding the drinking behaviour change and based on the correlations, their severity and their relationships you can understand what is causing a change in drinking behaviour and from this deduce the corrective actions required, all via AI every 5 minutes 24/7.
This process generates a lot of insightful data and so the final piece is to feed the findings into AI large language models to smart summarise and turn data into a few sentences and eventually audio files. Simply tell me where the animals are challenged, what's causing it and at what time of day it occurs then I can quickly solve the issues.
The next steps for this technology is using machine learning to recognise exact patterns in the changes of drinking behaviour and corelation data and associate these with proven corrective actions, disease predictions, well being and welfare and other key insights.
Key Benefits
We have developed a technology solution that can truly take feed back from pigs and poultry via a basic set of data, water intake. Not only this but it is specific to that that flock of birds or flow of pigs.
Individual batches can now be cared for as to their needs leading to optimised production, better health outcomes, lower stress levels amongst the animals, improved margins and improved efficiency, including feed and energy utilisation.
Optifarm does not need to deploy hardware or software in the field, instead has data connections with all major farm hardware and software suppliers globally so it is highly efficient to scale and deploy, in most cases at no cost.
A final key benefit of Optifam is the 'pay as you use' business model. No fixed monthly subscriptions, no joining fees, simply join for free and pay as and when you utilise the data insights, either in our phone App or via running queries on our database.
Applications
To date we have seen the best success amongst larger farming businesses where they cannot know what is happening in every barn at any one time, integrated processing companies where we support their field staff and equipment suppliers who want to offer better after sales support.
As our data sets grow we are in early talks with finance houses and insurers to offer unique insights relating to ESG commitments and risk management
