CattleEye
A New Era in Lameness Detection
Artificial intelligence supports animal health, performance & welfare
CattleEye is our advanced solution for autonomous livestock monitoring. The system uses artificial intelligence to identify cows individually, detect lameness and assess body condition contactless and automatically. A simple camera installation in the barn is all it takes.
Lameness is a common issue on dairy farms with far-reaching consequences, including higher veterinary costs, reduced milk production, and decreased animal welfare. Hoof diseases and related lameness are the third most common cause of premature culling in dairy cows, making them a significant financial risk. CattleEye enables early countermeasures by using advanced AI to monitor Locomotion and Body Condition Score (BCS). Through video analysis, the system identifies cows needing hoof trimming or treatment, helping to control lameness. At the same time, BCS tracking provides insights into nutritional needs and supports timely feed adjustments. This dual approach improves herd health, performance and animal welfare while reducing the carbon footprint and supporting next-generation farming.

Reality check voor biotech
GEA's nieuwe Application and Technology Center (ATC) in Sarstedt, ten zuiden van Hannover, is geen showroom, maar ook geen vervanging voor een lab. Het is een plek voor testen, gegevensverzameling en vroege besluitvorming. Hier wordt duidelijk of een biologisch concept kan uitgroeien tot een robuust industrieel proces. Die stap is groter dan die lijkt.
Veranderingen op het gebied van verpakking van levensmiddelen: Vier trends
Thermovormen speelt al geruime tijd een centrale rol in de verpakking van levensmiddelen. Nu staat het voor een ingrijpende verandering. Naarmate de regelgeving strenger wordt, materialen zich verder ontwikkelen en de kosten stijgen, moeten vorm-, vul- en sluitlijnen meer doen dan alleen betrouwbaar functioneren – ze bepalen nu hoe voedingsmiddelen vers, betaalbaar en recyclebaar blijven. Bekijk de belangrijkste trends op het gebied van thermovormen die bepalend zijn de verpakking en bezorging van levensmiddelen.
