Using computer vision to transform meat production

Lumachain was founded in Sydney in 2018 using computer vision-based artificial intelligence to transform meat plant operations. It has five products in the categories of safety, yield, quality, efficiency and traceability.

The company installs cameras around the plant to identify potential safety hazards and training and coaching opportunities for plant supervisors who often have 50 employees under them. The AI will send real-time alerts to the supervisor so they can focus on those who need extra help instead of having to monitor each employee separately.

In addition, customers know where their containers are at any given time.

Regenerating Farming

The Common Ground Project is a regenerative farm and social enterprise just outside Geelong that promotes food security by creating fair access to locally grown, healthy food. The farm has regenerated degraded pasture land into fertile and productive land. The farm not only offers an inclusive space for growing, but also cooking, knowledge sharing, and ongoing community collaboration. Common Ground Project provides hands-on workshops, training and employment pathways through Food Knowledge programs, which directly support Food Relief efforts in the Geelong region. https://www.commongroundproject.com.au/

Fence me in - geospatially!

SaFencing is the world’s first certified geofencing system for off-road applications that fully complies with the Machine Directive 2006/42/CE. It can be plugged into your existing equipment and with centimetre accuracy, the new technology keeps autonomous farm equipment safely within a confined space, reducing the need for supervision. The AGC box can guide a single robot or a fleet of robots, constantly calculating the best trajectories on-farm while avoiding obstacles and all the while communicating with you on your smartphone or a tablet. https://www.agreenculture.net/en/agcbox

Discarded sheep wool for fertiliser pellets

When producing high quality beautiful yarn nearly 40% of the original fleece can be discarded. Traditionally, this “dodgy” wool is dumped at tips (usually in plastic bags). The discarded wool which is biodegradable and rich in nutrients is now being made into garden fertiliser pellets. A crowdfunding campaign enabled the NSW mill owners to buy the equipment they need to make the pellets. These natural pellets are good for the soil and prevent wool and plastic going to landfill. https://rb.gy/fnatd8
