Introducing Computer Vision for Ranching

Due to customer privacy, all the images and videos in this article are for demonstration purposes only. 

Computer vision and agriculture have already yielded impressive results when cutting-edge vision AI strategies are deployed on farms and ranches. Forward-thinking agribusinesses trust Plainsight’s experts and industry-leading technology to drive their digital transformation, supplementing their generational expertise to make AI-powered ranching and farming efficiency a reality.

How Does AI Play a Role in Ranching?

Smooth Ag’s Ranch Rover is the first technology of its kind, an autonomous feed rover that travels across ranches to make timely deliveries in precise locations. As the demonstration above showcases, the Rover has no trouble making itself at home and joining the herd. 

Equipped with vision AI solutions from Plainsight, the Rover grows even more impressive as it navigates new and familiar terrain. It detects, counts, and monitors ranch activity in real time, providing a useful repository of visual data to end users. All this pastureland data helps ranchers set automated alerts, predict and track trends, and produce a bottom line impact. 

The work done by AI-powered ranch vehicles comes down to more than automating key processes. When they’re armed with cutting-edge solutions like custom-built computer vision models, ranchers, farmers, and other agriculture industry players are able to act with greater agility with the insights necessary to independently innovate, build competitive advantages, and make more informed decisions.
