Project
description

With Corvitac, we were able to develop the next evolutionary stage of an optical pig counter and implement a new product for the agricultural sector. The high precision of animal counting improves farmers’ efficiency. The new method of tracking animals reduces stress for both the user and the animals during moving or loading.

During development, the specific requirements of the target group and the environment of use were taken into account, resulting in a mass-production-ready measuring device for counting animals in agriculture. Special attention was given to the intuitive usability of the system.

The integration of a display allows the user to receive live feedback on the current count and provides the ability to check the exact status at any time.

In addition to the operating system’s usability, handling and system architecture were revised and optimized.

The new system passed all necessary certification tests to ensure safe operation on site.

Services

Concept Development

At the design sprint workshop at the beginning of the project, both the product architecture and usability were the focus in order to meet the specific requirements of this task.

Product Design

Here, a design language should be highlighted that withstands harsh environmental conditions and conveys robustness and functionality.

Prototype Construction

Our task involved the iterative development and testing of various components, as well as the selection of electronic components to test their operational limits as effectively as possible.

Product Development

We supported Corvitac from the initial concept to a feasible, certifiable, and producible solution that meets the highest standards in quality, timing, and cost.

Certification

After jointly selecting a suitable testing center, we accompanied the certification process until its successful completion. Here, we were able to contribute our expertise regarding normative requirements as well as existing processes.

Production management

Selection of suitable production and assembly partners. Creation and maintenance of a customized purchasing tool and support during the assembly process.

3D design

From the outset, development was supported by CAD design. The entire product was modeled as a digital twin in order to be able to predict and communicate geometric factors and generate production data.
