Japan
Developed by Farmnote Holdings, Farmnote is an Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud based digital solution for dairy and livestock productivity management. It's a herd management system for ranchers and farmers which integrates wearable sensor devices with a cloud-based system and uses artificial intelligence to collect and analyze real-time data on cow activities. In order to wirelessly communicate behavioral data to the owner’s or manager’s smartphone, wearable collar sensors on animals called “Farmnote Color” transfer data through radio waves to “gateway” stations located at various points on the ranch or farm. It provides farmers with information on signs of estrus, hypoactivity, difficulty standing detection, signs of labour.
