dol-sensors, a Danish company, has unveiled a new camera designed to measure the weight of pigs using 3D technology. The ‘iDOL 65’ camera utilizes technology to accurately update the daily weight of each pig in a pen, including new weight gain. The ‘ProGrow’ system offered by SKOV A/S is one application of the iDOL 65 camera. By utilizing daily updates on pen weight and combining them with feed consumption, climatic data, and water usage data, the overall profit of the pig producer can increase. The camera is suitable for use in harsh environments and neutral climates.
“dol-sensors have made an accurate and robust product with the iDOL 65 camera. When we wanted to use the camera for our ProGrow system, we had a close collaboration with the team at dol-sensors who adapted the camera to fit our demands," said Niels Henrik Lundgaard, product manager at SKOV A/S.
