A kiwi company has figured out how to combine new AI technology with one of New Zealand’s biggest industries. 

Livestock Visibility Solutions has created Flow, a software designed to streamline cow movement from the yard to the milking shed. 

The program automates the backing gate system, allowing for greater efficiency. 

CEO Richard Appleby told Mike Hosking that it can only be done by AI, as it reacts so quickly to what’s happening in the yard and needs to be able to adapt quickly. 

He said it replaces what a person would do if they had total vision of the cows in their yard, and is able to make the call as to what the ideal density of cows is at any given time.
