Common bottlenecks in livestock farming

For dairy, pig and poultry farmers and their suppliers and advisers, Kantex brings together data from sensors, milking robots, feeding systems and barn climate. We build dashboards for daily decisions, connect animal registrations and the portals of buyers and advisers, and use AI to flag deviations early, while the farmer makes the decisions.

Your animals need attention every day, and the barn measures more than ever: milk yield, feed intake, activity, temperature and ventilation. But every system has its own screen or app. Anyone who wants to know how an animal or a section is doing clicks through four programs, and registrations for buyers and the authorities come on top of that.

  • Every barn system has its own screen

    Milking robot, feed computer, climate control and sensors each show their own data. Looking at an animal or section as a whole means making the connections yourself.

  • Deviations are noticed late

    A drop in feed intake, activity or milk yield can be an early signal. Among all the figures, such a deviation only stands out once the problem is already visible in the barn.

  • Sharing data is cumbersome

    The vet, feed adviser and buyer ask for figures that are already in your systems. They are exported, emailed or copied into yet another portal.

How Kantex helps

Data from barn, robot and feeding system brought together in one view for daily decisions about your animals.

Kantex Data

Data solutions

We bring data from milking robot, feeding system, barn climate and sensors together in one dashboard per animal, group or section, focused on the questions you ask every morning.

Kantex AI

AI solutions

AI can follow patterns in feed intake, activity, milk yield or climate and flag deviations early. The system raises an alert with an explanation; the farmer or vet assesses and decides.

  1. Explore

    In a free introductory call we map out your process, systems and goals, and pinpoint where the biggest gains are.

  2. Design

    We sketch the solution, the integrations and the screens, and test them with the people who will actually use them.

  3. Build

    We work in short iterations and show you working software every few weeks, so you can steer along the way.

  4. Implement

    We go live, migrate your data and guide your team through the switch.

  5. Keep improving

Frequently asked questions about software for livestock farming

Can’t find your question? Email sales@kantex.nl and we will reply within one working day.

Can Kantex combine data from my milking robot and feeding system?

Yes, when those systems make their data available, through an integration, a database or a periodic export. We first check per system what can be extracted and how often. We then bring the data together at animal level, so milk yield, feed intake and activity sit side by side instead of on separate screens.

Does AI make decisions about my animals?

No. AI helps you spot deviations sooner, for example an animal that is eating less or behaving differently from normal. The system gives a signal and shows what it is based on. Whether action is needed, and which, is decided by you or your vet. By keeping track of which signals were right, you fine-tune the alerts over time.

Who owns the data when it is shared with advisers or buyers?

We agree that in advance. In our approach, the farmer decides which data is shared with whom and for what purpose, and that consent can be withdrawn again. Integrations only send what has been agreed, and a record is kept of when which data was shared. That keeps it clear to everyone what happens to farm data.
