Project Overview
Project Overview
Crystal Spring wanted AIZ Solutions to design and implement a cutting-edge solution for hog sorting operations: the E-GATE Sorter. This project aimed to streamline hog sorting processes through automation, improving efficiency, animal welfare, and adaptability for hog farms of all sizes. By integrating a robust web application with the E-GATE hardware, the system revolutionizes the way hog operations manage sorting, weighing, and data analysis.
