Research theme
Technological improvement and commercialization verification for international expansion of pig image recognition technology
Business Plan
Pig farming is the world's largest primary industry with a production value of 40 trillion yen, but because productivity indicators (live weight) cannot be measured and production management cannot be carried out, productivity improvement and reduction of environmental burden have stagnated, causing a global protein crisis and livestock environmental burden issues. In response to this global issue, we will improve our pig live weight measurement technology using image recognition technology for international expansion, and commercialize it internationally.
Research Outline
Based on the AI image recognition pig weight measurement technology cultivated in Japan, we will develop a shipping weight estimation camera (ABC Type 1) for international expansion, conduct a business demonstration in the United States using paid samples, prepare for the establishment of a full-scale mass production system, and prepare for overseas business expansion including existing products.
