Problem
Poultry hatcheries rely on manual chick sexing and sorting, which is labor-intensive, error-prone, and difficult to scale to modern production volumes. Manual handling increases stress on chicks, slows throughput, and creates inconsistent record-keeping across production runs.
Solution
Sortand combines continuous vision, edge AI, and software-controlled actuation in one compact production system that measures every chick, makes an individual sexing decision, and routes it to the correct lane automatically. The system processes up to 36,000 chicks per hour while reducing manual handling and recording every decision with confidence scores. Camera, lighting, and on-device compute are integrated into a single wash-down-ready stainless-steel frame that drops directly onto existing hatchery lines. Automatic counts and event logs provide a clear, confidence-scored record of every production run.
Target Audience
Primary customers are commercial poultry hatcheries and integrated poultry producers seeking to automate chick sexing and sorting at production-line speeds.
