Smart dairy farms are using AI scanners to monitor cows’ health

Technology being trialled on UK farms collects day by day knowledge on cows’ weight, physique situation and mobility, serving to to determine people in want of therapy

An overhead scanning system mixed with synthetic intelligence is now mechanically assessing cows’ well being standing twice a day on dozens of “sensible” dairy farms throughout the UK.

3D cameras movie the animals’ backs as they depart the milking barn, whereas sensors learn their particular person id tags. The related computer systems then use machine studying to right away course of the information, offering vital day by day knowledge about every cow’s weight, physique situation, and mobility, says Wenhao Zhang on the University of the West of England (UWE) …
