AGRI-FOOD.AI Receives Innovation Award, Aiming for Global Impact!

From the homeland of John von Neumann, the Rubik’s cube, and the biro, emerges a groundbreaking innovation poised to revolutionize agriculture worldwide. AGRI-FOOD.AI has been honored with the prestigious Innovation Prize for the groundbreaking idea that can transform the global agri-food sector with the help of AI, machine vision and other 21st century technologies.

The innovation, named PigCounter, addresses a century-old challenge in livestock management. Built on advanced digital observation and AI technology, the PigCounter offers a solution that not only relieves humans of the burden of counting animals but also provides unparalleled precision in tracking pig populations on farms and at abattoirs, with an accuracy rate of 100%.

The Challenge: Counting livestock has historically been a daunting task due to the constant movement of animals, leading to inaccuracies in traditional counting methods. AGRI-FOOD.AI’s innovative solution overcomes this challenge by harnessing the power of machine vision to continuously monitor livestock movement, ensuring every animal is counted accurately and eliminating the possibility of double counting.

The Impact: AGRI-FOOD.AI’s innovation not only reduces the time and labor associated with animal counting but also minimizes the risk of errors, making it an indispensable tool for pig farms and abattoirs worldwide. By streamlining operations and enhancing accuracy, AGRI-FOOD.AI is empowering the global agri-food industry to meet the demands of a rapidly evolving market.

Key Features of the Innovation:

AGRI-FOOD.AI’s solution represents a paradigm shift in livestock management, offering state-of-the-art technology that is both resource-efficient and cost-effective. With minimal hardware requirements and software that automates the counting process, this innovation liberates human resources while delivering unparalleled precision, ensuring that the task of animal counting is entrusted to artificial intelligence for optimal results.

Moreover, AGRI-FOOD.AI’s scalable system can be easily integrated into existing facilities without the need for extensive modernization, making it accessible to agri-food stakeholders worldwide. Its compatibility with leading digital management systems further enhances its appeal, providing a seamless solution for farms and abattoirs of all sizes.

The AGRI-FOOD.AI story: From Startup to Global Leader

What began as a conversation between a veterinarian-farmer and AGRI-FOOD.AI’s founder, János Vass, has evolved into a trailblazing innovation that is reshaping the agri-food industry worldwide. From the award-winning PigCounter to a suite of products catering to various agricultural sectors, AGRI-FOOD.AI has rapidly ascended to the forefront of the global market, partnering with industry leaders such as TysonFood, LifeCorp, and Bonafarm.

The first developed PigCounter proved to be a much-needed solution in global markets – thus, soon, a series of innovations and an entire product family were built around it. With PigBrother, livestock growth can be tracked, while PigSelector assists in selecting animals that have reached the weight range. And with the help of PigData, even the quality of the air can be monitored for an optimal and healthy environment. The technology is scalable for other species as well (chicken, cattle, sheep, and even fish). Furthermore, not only livestock but also wild animals can be observed with the assistance of AGRI-FOOD.AI (Artemys). The digital success technology is also available to food industry players through AGRI-FOOD.AI (Monitwin), and web applications have already been developed by local developers, such as BeeMap, which facilitates the lives of beekeepers, and Maduro, which provides more reliable ripeness determination for coffee growers and buyers through machine vision.

Looking to the Future:

AGRI-FOOD.AI believes that in the 21st century, AI cannot be a problem – because it is the solution itself. The company is therefore committed to education.

AGRI-FOOD.AI is committed to driving innovation and education in the agri-food sector, leveraging its expertise to develop cutting-edge solutions and empower stakeholders worldwide. In addition to its products, AGRI-FOOD.AI has launched an educational platform to share knowledge and foster collaboration among industry professionals, ensuring that the benefits of AI technology are accessible to all.
