Piggy Check from Meier-Brakenberg, which was awarded a Gold Medal for Innovation at EuroTier 2016, is smart software for non-contact weight determination of pigs. It serves to carry out important job of sorting finishing pigs prior to sale in a fast and effortless way.
The user takes pictures of the animal with a standard smartphone or tablet PC with a 3D camera when the animals are inside the pen. The camera generates a depth image and calculates the animal’s weight. A traffic light indicator shows recommended marketing actions.
Piggy Check technology stands for much more than mere weighing operations. The Piggy Check Portal collects data in a cloud, evaluates them and amalgamates logged weight data with abattoir data. This provides valuable insights as to coming sortings for sale and improvement of slaughter prices.
The constantly growing amount of data triggers mathematical computations and artificial intelligence, and thus enables the Piggy Check Portal to further improve results. By linking the data to slaughtering details, it can also provide recommendations as to the selection of abattoir masks and rating templates for slaughter pigs.
Piggy Check facilitates stress-free weighing for both humans and animals. The portal collects animal related data that allows individual analysis, and therefore it noticeably optimises animal marketing. Only minimum costs incur for investment and monthly subscription.
