Beyond FarmGuardian, Artificial Intelligence to Optimize Swine Productivity and Animal Welfare

During the AMVESSUS conference, Beyond Technology introduced its latest innovation for the swine industry: Beyond FarmGuardian, an intelligent monitoring solution that merges specialized hardware and artificial intelligence to transform both health and operational management in pig farms. Its purpose is clear — to reduce losses from disease, optimize feed efficiency, and boost profitability without compromising animal welfare.

Smart monitoring to prevent disease and reduce pig mortality

Respiratory and digestive illnesses account for more than half of mortality causes in pig farms. Beyond FarmGuardian tackles this issue through a 24/7 continuous monitoring platform capable of identifying behavioral changes, temperature variations, and acoustic patterns before clinical symptoms appear.

Using computer vision and sound analysis, the system detects sneezes, bites, grunts, and signs of diarrhea, triggering real-time alerts that enable early intervention. This reduces treatment costs and antibiotic usage while improving herd health and overall farm productivity. I

AI-powered feed management for operational efficiency

Feed can represent up to 80% of total production costs in pig farming, with up to 20% lost to waste or theft. Beyond FarmGuardian incorporates an advanced feed monitoring module that tracks how much feed is served, consumed, and where inefficiencies occur throughout the process.

By correlating feed data with individual weight and growth metrics, the system enables more accurate decision-making to improve feed conversion ratios and minimize losses. All information is centralized in a customizable web interface, allowing users to analyze data by pen, individual animal, or time period for a comprehensive view of farm performance.

Technology that learns and evolves with each farm

Beyond FarmGuardian integrates three fully in-house technological layers developed by Beyond Technology’s engineering team: mobile cameras with thermal and acoustic sensors, an adaptive AI engine that learns from each farm’s behavior, and a web platform with personalized dashboards and automated notifications.

A camera mounted on a rail autonomously moves across pens, capturing images, sound, and environmental data. These inputs are processed on a central server, where algorithms analyze parameters such as temperature, estimated weight, and activity levels to generate actionable insights. Over time, the system learns and adjusts to the specific conditions of each farm, becoming a predictive assistant for veterinarians and producers alike.

Toward a more profitable, sustainable, and data-driven swine industry

The presentation of Beyond FarmGuardian to AMVESSUS specialists marked a turning point in the adoption of intelligent technologies in pig farming. The platform not only reduces mortality and operational costs but also empowers producers with data-based decision-making tools, improving animal welfare and long-term profitability.

In an industry where every minute and every kilo matter, Beyond FarmGuardian defines a new era — one of data-driven pork production powered by artificial intelligence.
