The technology behind the work

Cattle cameras. Useful answers.

See what is in a pen, review a movement, or preserve an identity reference. Our platform turns color and thermal imagery into evidence your team can use.

Start with the job

One platform.
Three ways to put it to work.

Continuous camera coverage is the foundation. The workflow is built around your facility or study.

Reconcile a pen. Review a movement.

Compare the yard record with camera-observed presence, then check time-stamped evidence at covered gates, alleys, and pens.

Inventory and movement workflows · Configured per site

See the feedlot workflow

Keep an identity reference at the chute.

Capture face, muzzle, and visible ear-tag views during processing. Connect those references to known tags and manifests.

Nose ID · Controlled chute workflow

How Nose ID works

Build a study around the right observations.

Set the zones, time windows, labels, and exports your research needs, with source evidence available for review.

How the platform works

From a camera view to a useful observation.

Camera placement, pixels, geometry, and time turn a field view into a count, movement record, or study measure—with the source evidence attached.

Models, camera geometry, site rules, and validation are configured for your operation or study.

  1. Capture the view

    Cameras record what happened, where, and when.

  2. Measure the activity

    Software organizes counts, presence, movement, and thermal observations.

  3. Compare with your records

    Site rules highlight a count mismatch, movement event, or identity to review.

  4. Review the source

    Your team checks the image or clip and decides what to do next.

Field-built infrastructure

The right view comes first.

Dust, night coverage, sightlines, power, and handling flow all affect what a camera can see. We plan around the yard—not the other way around.

Capture
Fixed RGB and thermal cameras, solar nodes, and wireless connectivity.
Keep
On-site compute and local storage preserve the evidence for review.
Connect
Use observations alongside EID/RFID and the operating records your team trusts.

Nose ID Chute

Identity at the Chute

Build an identity reference while cattle are already being processed. Face, muzzle, and visible-tag imagery stays connected to known tags and manifests.

  1. Capture the reference.

    Record face, muzzle, and ear-tag views at the chute.

  2. Isolate the useful detail.

    Segmentation organizes the muzzle region from the chute imagery.

  3. Evaluate against known identities.

    Matching performance is evaluated by protocol.

A second view for wound research.

The screwworm and wound-review study pairs RGB imagery of visible wound-like regions with thermal surface-temperature patterns. Veterinary diagnosis and response remain with animal-health professionals.

Other research capabilities and product status

Field-deployed foundation. Camera, connectivity, and evidence-capture infrastructure operates in the Tuskegee research environment.

Site-specific workflows. Inventory, movement, and zone monitoring are configured around camera coverage and agreed success criteria.

Active R&D. Radar research and RGB + thermal studies can be scoped with field infrastructure and research partners.
