So, why do we think that artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics will help you with farm productivity and animal welfare?

Artificial intelligence combined with robotics has more potential than any other modern technology to help with productivity, purpose, and welfare, all while accelerating economic growth.

Let’s put it this way, there is no one better than you for this, no one knows the industry the way you do. However, it’s impossible and impractical for you to be there around the clock and that is where technology steps in. It is there around the clock looking for the insights you need and any issues and providing you information to act on.

The name “Looke” is derived from the idea of keeping an eye on your livestock at all times. Looke can provide valuable insights, identify issues, and report to you in real-time because of its constant observation. Finding issues earlier means you can act on them sooner, reducing potential issues becoming larger. Think of it as having a “shepherd” watching over your livestock at all times but without the cost..

So, can it replace manual inspections?

Well, not yet but it is getting there, Looke can identify and report on various types of problems such as skin issues, eye diseases, injuries, and lameness. The idea is to get a robot and technology to constantly monitor your livestock increasing the ability to see and detect any issues.

Personally, I like this approach to utilizing technology, it spends more time in the field, looking and learning, and eventually, it will do more than it does now.

So, it would be unethical of me to blindly promise you “overnight success” or an “instant doubling of your productivity”, However, we do promise an improvement in your ability to quickly identify issues and actions needed along with new improvement opportunities.

At this stage, it can automate 70% of livestock monitoring and detection tasks. At Round Pixel we focus on facts and figures backed by data. Initially, our robot was able to detect ringworms with 40% efficacy, now it’s over 90%. Similarly, other monitoring aspects are showing the same promising results. Importantly, Looke’s data usage for AI will always be upfront, honest, backed by research, and for your long-term benefit.

To put it simply, AI and robotics are the future when it comes to business performance, regardless of the industry. Technology promises to improve performance and reduce operating costs simultaneously. What is the cost of not taking advantage of this technology now?

AI is moving fast and as a country, and as an industry, we risk being too late to the party if we do not adopt it at an early stage.

We can’t help every industry, however, we made it our job to do everything possible to get the best technology of this era to the agriculture industry-including small businesses.

We hope to be able to support your business, by supporting ours, in this exciting journey of technology and AI in agriculture.
