Farm Automation and Robotics SL (Faromatics) was founded in June 2016. Our founders – with extensive experience in successful start-ups, instrumentation, animal health and welfare and value creation in Precision Livestock Farming (PLF) – have identified this business opportunity. We have created the solution ChickenBoy, a robot that gets close enough to chickens to detect their needs when they arise. ChickenBoy is a disruptive new technology that balances animal welfare with productivity by using machine learning, pattern recognition and a combination of sensors to provide optimal decision support to farmers and other users. It represents an intelligent, robotic broiler surveillance solution that measures vital parameters at the level of chickens for observation and detection of health and welfare issues (body temperature, gastro-intestinal diseases, healthy feeding, leg disorders, etc.). It is an autonomously moving smart observation platform with on-board capability for vision (visible and thermal), sound and measurement of ambient conditions. The ChickenBoy is a win-win-win solution. The win for farmers is better information and cost savings, the win for chickens is earlier identified needs and resulting better health and welfare and the win for consumers is peace of mind and reduced antibiotic load.
