POULTECH Opens A New Era of Smart Farming

In traditional farming, inspections are a major challenge: not only do they require significant manpower and time, but manual inspections are also prone to omissions, and abnormalities in chickens can easily be overlooked, directly impacting farming profitability. Poul Tech’s chicken house inspection robot and inspection cloud product pairing are designed to address these issues, providing farming companies with a one-stop solution and enabling the modernization, digitization, and unmanned operation of farming operations.


Intelligent Vision Robot for Chicken House Inspection

This chicken house inspection robot boasts all-terrain, comprehensive inspection capabilities and offers significant advantages:

 

Dead Chicken Inspection
It utilizes multiple imaging technologies to identify chickens, combined with AI algorithms to deliver local, real-time identification results with high accuracy.

Environmental Adaptability
Chicken house environments can be harsh, with high dust and humidity. However, the robot’s dust- and water-resistant technology allows for stable operation in these conditions, ensuring continuous inspections.

Easy Operation
For farmers, it’s easy to use without extensive training, lowering the barrier to entry.

Dead Chicken Detection
It counts the number of eggs marked on the cages, compares them multiple times, and marks dead chickens. It also identifies combs based on the chickens’ physiological characteristics, enabling more accurate identification.

Environmental Monitoring
During operation, it reports environmental data from each station in real time and generates an environmental cloud map, allowing customers to monitor the temperature and other conditions of the chicken house.

Equipment Inspection
Real-time monitoring of equipment anomalies, such as deformation of the egg belt trawl, contamination of the bottom net, deformation of the feed trough, and foreign objects, allows for prompt identification of problems.

Egg Inspection
This system can detect visible surface contamination, count eggs per basket, and identify oversized, undersized, and soft-shell eggs. It is important to note that this technology is more mature in central egg collection lines, while egg inspection on inspection robots requires on-site technical verification.

The accompanying Wanhua digital cloud platform makes livestock farming management more convenient and efficient. Through the cloud platform, farmers can remotely access various chicken house data, including information collected by robotic inspections. Furthermore, secondary analysis of this data, powered by the company’s big data analytics platform, provides farmers with a scientific basis for decision-making, truly enabling smart farming. Addressing pain points and enhancing competitiveness.

The combination of this inspection robot and the inspection cloud effectively addresses the pain points of livestock farming companies: not only does it reduce the high labor and time costs of farm inspections, but it also enables timely detection of abnormalities in chickens that are undetectable manually. This improves productivity and enhances competitiveness, helping farmers achieve greater success in the digital age.
