Precision tools for
US hog farmers.

Barn System's mission is to create tools used by US hog farmers.

Starting with computer vision for accurate barn counts
THE FUTURE OF HOG FARMING

Precision tools that help producers stay ahead.

Barn System builds intelligent barn systems that allow hog farmers to intervene before small problems become costly setbacks.

Advanced artificial intelligence monitoring systems help improve overall efficiency by counting livestock, estimating weight, tracking health metrics to reduce manual routine tasks while providing clear and consistent data. This allows farmers to focus their attention where it matters most while we optimize production outcomes.

Disease prevention will continue to be a focus of the hog industry. Our future AI powered analytics tools will be able to monitor behavioral and health changes to reduce treatment costs and improve recovery.

The future of hog farming is not about replacing farmers — it's about giving them better data and more information to combine modern technology with farmer expertise to be more efficient and sustainable.

Early Intervention
Catch issues before small problems become costly setbacks.
AI Efficiency
Automated counting, weight estimation & health tracking.
Proactive Health
AI analytics that monitor changes to cut treatment costs.
FIRST PRODUCT

Chore Cam

A rugged, barn-ready vision system that automatically counts every hog entering and leaving your confinement facility — 24 hours a day, with no extra labor.

Accurate inventory
Know exactly how many hogs are in each barn at all times.
Labor savings
Eliminate time-consuming manual counts during daily chores.
Movement alerts
Get notified of unusual activity or potential losses.
Shipment accuracy
Verify loads leaving the site with precise counts.
How Chore Cam Works
  1. 1
    Install — Mount the weatherproof camera unit above entry and exit points. No complex wiring.
  2. 2
    Detect — On-device AI identifies individual hogs and direction of travel in real time.
  3. 3
    Record — Every movement is logged and synced to your Barn System Monitor dashboard.
  4. 4
    Act — Receive alerts, review trends, and export reports — all from one place.
FIELD DEMO

WHAT'S NEXT

Product Roadmap

We are starting with vision-based counting and the Monitor platform, then expanding into full barn automation.

PHASE 1 CURRENT
Chore Cam + Barn System Monitor
  • • Real-time hog entry & exit counting
  • • Central web dashboard with historical data
  • • Basic alerts and daily reconciliation reports
  • • Mobile-friendly access for chore crews
In active development
PHASE 2 NEXT
Gates, Sensors & Environmental Monitoring
  • • Automatic gates for zone control and sorting
  • • Temperature, humidity, and air quality sensors
  • • Feed and water level detection with consumption tracking
  • • Expanded alert rules and notification preferences
PHASE 3 IN PRODUCTION
Full Barn Automation
  • • Intelligent ventilation automation with predictive control
  • • Advanced computer vision (health scoring, behavior alerts)
  • • API integrations with existing farm management software
  • • Multi-barn and multi-site oversight from a single login

Roadmap timelines depend on producer feedback and pilot results. We are building in close partnership with working hog farms.

Why Smart Producers Choose Barn System

Technology that respects the realities of confinement operations and the people who run them.

Save Time Every Day

Automate repetitive counting and recordkeeping tasks so your crew can spend less time tracking numbers and more time focusing on animal care, facility management, and daily operations.

Catch Problems Earlier

The faster an issue is identified, the faster it can be addressed. Early intervention can help reduce losses, improve animal outcomes, and prevent small issues from becoming costly setbacks.

Improve Profitability

Better information leads to better decisions. Accurate counts, historical trends, and automated monitoring help improve operational efficiency while reducing costly mistakes and inventory discrepancies.

Built for Real Hog Farms

Designed specifically for confinement operations, not generic agriculture software. Every feature is built around the realities of modern hog production and the challenges producers face every day.
