COW PROTECTOR
Get Help
Continuous monitoring, without staff having to assess every animal individually.
Camera-based monitoring without transponders or wearables on every cow.
Every animal is identified and assessed individually, not just the herd as a whole.
Results are available digitally and can be used in your herd management.
The camera unit monitors the cows at a suitable passageway in the barn.
ACARiS identifies the individual animal, without sensors or markings on the animal.
The AI assesses the movement and body-related characteristics of the animal.
Results and trends per animal can be viewed on smartphone, tablet and PC.
COW PROTECTOR uses cameras and artificial intelligence to identify every individual animal and record relevant health parameters automatically. Without sensors on the animal, without restraining, without extra work in the barn.
COW PROTECTOR analyses the gait of every individual cow and makes relevant changes visible.
COW PROTECTOR assesses the body condition of every individual cow and makes changes over time visible.
ACARiS works together with partner farms, universities and specialists for digital herd management: dsp-Agrosoft GmbH, HfWU Nürtingen-Geislingen and Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences.
“The biggest change COW PROTECTOR brought? We are always one step ahead of the problems. Instead of only reacting to symptoms, we prevent them. Lameness caught early saves treatment time and cost, and keeps the cow in the herd.”

“With the ACARiS COW PROTECTOR we use an AI-supported camera that records the gait of every cow without transponders or restraining, and picks up subtle changes in real time. When the system detects a deviation in walking behaviour, it reports that automatically.”

Five points decide. We check them together with you and take care of the entire installation.
Ideally after the milking parlour above the return lane, at a height of 3 to 4.5 metres.
A straight, level and well-lit walkway 5 to 6 metres long.
The cows walk through the lane one at a time as far as possible, without backing up.
A stable connection with at least 500 kBit/s upload, alternatively via Starlink.
ACARiS handles the entire installation, tailored to the conditions on your farm.
No. COW PROTECTOR works purely camera-based. No transponders, collars or pedometers are needed on the animal.
The AI identifies each individual cow by its appearance, without intrusive sensors or markings on the animal.
Ideally after the milking parlour above the return lane, at a height of 3 to 4.5 metres with a clear view of the walkway.
Currently lameness detection from 1 to 5 as well as body condition scoring. Both parameters are recorded for each individual animal.
In the COW PROTECTOR dashboard, available on smartphone, tablet and PC. The results can be used further in your herd management: there is a direct data exchange with Herde+ from dsp-Agrosoft.
Yes. What matters is a suitable passageway. The installation is tailored to the conditions on your farm.
