AID Korea uses AI to help manage livestock - connected-vet

Technological advances have brought seismic shifts to various industries in Asia's fourth-largest economy, but the livestock sector is considered to have relatively lagged behind others despite having huge future prospects. Daniel Kyeong, co-founder and CEO of South Korea-based tech startup Animal Industry Data Korea, or AID Korea, was quick to jump on an idea -- develop a health care solution for livestock by utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) technology. Founded in 2017, AID Korea provides each farm owner with a customized solution. Its AI-powered management platform called « Farmsplan » not only increases productivity but also enhances animal welfare, which will eventually lead to quality meat. The system employs overhead surveillance cameras installed at each farm to monitor each labeled animal and to track down any abnormal behavior or movement with its AI algorithm and big data analysis.
