The farmer defines the length of the working day on the Wiesenschwein control system, for example shorter days in winter, longer during the summer months. Based on these specifications, the control system calculates the free-range times for the different pig groups. The regulations of Wiesenschwein AG specify a minimum duration for the free run per pig group. It also provides that the pigs should be in the free runs for as long as possible. If delays occur, the control system automatically corrects and optimizes.
In addition to the animal management, the system will soon also organize the semi-automatized weighing of the slaughter pigs. While doing so, it also detects the animals’ health condition.
If problems occur, a notification is automatically sent to the farmer’s smartphone.
