FLOX is a cutting-edge AI and computer-vision monitoring system designed for modern poultry farms. By deploying high-resolution cameras inside the chicken house, FLOX can track broilers' growth status, activity, and overall health metrics around the clock, 24 hours a day. This system can not only estimate chicken weight in real time but also detect potential anomalies through behavior analysis, freeing farm managers from traditional sample-weighing and manual patrols to rely on precise data-driven decisions.
What problem it solves
Traditional poultry farming often relies on manual patrols, which are not only inefficient but also prone to error and hard to spot chickens' health warnings at the first moment. FLOX solves the "information black box" problem in the farming process; through computer vision, the system can automatically recognize the flock's activity patterns and immediately send an alert when growth speed is below expectation or abnormal behavior appears. This preventive monitoring mechanism can greatly lower chicken mortality and ensure consistency of farming quality, helping farms achieve optimized output with limited resources.
Who it's for and how to use it
FLOX is very suited to large broiler farmers and farm operators pursuing smart-agriculture transformation. It's quite intuitive to use — just install compatible camera equipment inside the chicken house, and the system automatically does image analysis. Through a dedicated dashboard, managers can view the flock's growth curve and health reports anytime. Whether to improve feed-conversion rate or meet strict animal-welfare standards, FLOX provides powerful data support, evolving farm management from "by experience" to "by data."

FAQ
How does FLOX calculate chicken weight?
The system uses computer vision to capture chicken images via cameras and analyze them with algorithms, estimating the flock's average weight without human contact.
Under what conditions will the system issue an alert?
When the system detects abnormal flock activity, growth speed below the preset standard, or a potential health risk, it immediately notifies the manager.
Does installing this system require replacing existing chicken-house equipment?
FLOX is designed to integrate into the existing environment, but you need to ensure the chicken house has enough camera equipment and a stable network connection to transmit image data.
