The company says qscan offers 24/7 real-time monitoring of the herd using non intrusive visual imaging.

qscan captures real-time growth data using visual imaging. This is a non-invasive data capture mechanism, which causes no stress to the animals. The cameras are typically mounted above the drinkers, which is generally a clean area with a good dark background to provide a clear contrast between ground and animal. The data captured is processed in seconds and is uploaded into a web reporting tool. Data is viewed through imaging, graphical and chart output.

The features and benefits of the system are:

• 24/7 real-time monitoring of herd
• available in fixed or moveable variations
• multiple accesses licensing as standard
• data acquisition processed in seconds
• data uploaded daily into Web reporting tool
