# Agrointel

> Agrointel develops LIV, an AI-powered digital farm platform for Norwegian dairy farmers. Using simple ceiling cameras and artificial intelligence, LIV provides live camera streaming, herd monitoring, AI assistant, reproduction tracking, and push notifications to help farmers detect estrus, mastitis, and lameness early.

Fully operational and available now.
- [LIV Vekt — Weight Estimation](https://www.agrointel.no/liv/weight): Camera-based AI weight estimation module currently in development. Built on NTNU research (2024) demonstrating ~2-3% mean absolute error. Enables daily contactless weight monitoring without animal stress or handling.
- [LIV Atferd — Behavior Analysis](https://www.agrointel.no/liv/behavior): AI-driven behavior analysis module currently in development. Designed to detect heat, lameness, and stress through gait analysis, lying pattern monitoring, and feeding behavior tracking before visible symptoms appear.

## Pricing Plans
- LIV Basis: Up to 2 cameras, dashboard, live video, AI assistant, herd register, reproduction calendar, notes, alerts. 14-day free trial.
- LIV Pluss: Up to 6 cameras, multi-user access (4 roles), weight registration, priority support. Most popular plan.

## Research & Technology

- [Heimdal — AI Research Initiative](https://www.agrointel.no/heimdal): Agrointel's internal AI system for monitoring academic research, analyzing technology trends, and supporting product decisions. Coordinates specialized AI agents for knowledge synthesis, patent scanning, and strategic analysis. Not a product — an informational showcase of Agrointel's AI capabilities.

## Getting Started

- [Installation Guide](https://www.agrointel.no/apply/guide): Step-by-step guide for setting up Reolink P324 cameras, PoE switches, network cables, and Raspberry Pi for video stream collection. Includes digital survey for optimal camera placement.
- [Pilot Application](https://www.agrointel.no/apply): Apply to become a pilot farm. Requirements: 30+ dairy cows, stable internet in the barn, willingness to provide feedback.
- [Pricing & Interest Registration](https://www.agrointel.no/checkout): View LIV subscription plans and register interest for early access.

## How LIV Works
1. Simple Reolink P324 cameras are mounted in the barn ceiling
2. A Raspberry Pi collects video streams and sends them to the cloud
3. AI models identify each cow and analyze behavior 24/7
4. Automatic alerts are sent to the farmer's phone when something needs attention
5. Stable internet connection of at least 10 Mbps upload is required

## Key Detection Capabilities (In Development)
- Estrus detection: Identifies heat signs 2-3 days earlier than traditional methods
- Mastitis detection: Identifies early signs of udder inflammation before visible symptoms
- Lameness detection: Detects gait changes and movement patterns indicating hoof problems
- Calving alerts: Detects calving behavior and sends push notifications
- Weight estimation: Camera-based contactless weight monitoring (~2-3% MAE based on NTNU research)

## Economic Impact
- Missed heat costs approximately €80 per occurrence (~€4 per extra open day)
- Clinical mastitis costs €200-500 per case (treatment + milk loss)
- Lameness costs approximately €308 per lame cow per year
- Estimated annual savings with LIV: €2,500-5,000 for a herd of 50-100 cows

## Data & Privacy
- All data stored encrypted in Google Cloud Platform (GCP) with European servers
- Only the farmer and Agrointel have access to farm data
- Compliant with GDPR and Norwegian privacy regulations
