VANTIS™ Intelligence · AI-EYE™ Camera System

AI-EYE™ Camera System — Predictive Harvest Control for Processing Margin Optimization.

AI-EYE™ is the computer-vision system at the core of VANTIS™ — KYNAD's precision-poultry intelligence platform. A purpose-built camera engineered from scratch by CALYX — not an off-the-shelf camera bolted onto third-party software. Flock weighing in the house. A predictive forecast at the plant. A daily scenario for the harvest planner.

How It Works — signal in the house, decision at the gate.

AI-EYE™ is a closed loop. Cameras observe the live flock continuously. The model converts visual signal to a real-time weight curve. AI-EYE™ projects the curve forward ten days and maps it to processing-grade cutoffs. The planner sees the decision before the bird hits the line.

Accuracy Performance.

Every accuracy figure AI-EYE™ publishes is sourced from AI-EYE™ system performance — a continuously-running validation suite that compares model output against scale-recorded ground truth, validated with major U.S. poultry integrators on a platform with information security controls aligned with ISO/IEC 27001.

The validation suite

  • Real-time weight · ~98.4% accuracy (1.6% MAPE) Continuous comparison against scale-recorded ground truth across the customer base. Range bracketed by complex and genetics; figure shown is the steady-state mean.
  • 10-day supply forecast Forward weight prediction runs to F+7 — 97.5% at 3 days, 96.7% at 7 days. The 10-day view is a supply and harvest-planning horizon built from those predictions plus known lead times, not a weight-accuracy figure.
  • Premium weight shift · +5 to 20% Range of weight shift into premium grades reported by US Tier-1 integrators after AI-EYE™ deployment. Range reflects operation type, market, and feed program. Source: US top-5 integrator feedback.
Why accuracy ranges, not point claims. Performance varies by complex, genetics, and house density. We publish steady-state means with the range visible — never a best-house figure dressed up as a guarantee.

Real-time weight accuracy is ~98.4% (1.6% MAPE), validated vs plant weights. Forward weight prediction is 97.5% at 3 days and 96.7% at 7 days; the 10-day view is a supply and harvest-planning horizon, not an accuracy figure. The +5–20% premium weight-shift range reflects US top-5 integrator feedback and varies by operation type, market, and feed program.

Harvest Intelligence Software — data, modeling, and the planner's interface.

The platform integrates the modeling and reporting layer with the AI-EYE™ vision system. It ingests house-level weight signal, runs the forecast model, and presents the planner with scenario impact at the grade-mix level. Built for integrator-grade rollouts.

CAPABILITY/01

Scenario modeling

Test market days, target weights, and feed strategies against margin impact before committing to a plan. Side-by-side scenario comparison at the grade-mix level.

Planner workflow
CAPABILITY/02

Multi-complex dashboard

Roll up from individual house to complex to integrator level. Deviation alerts surface when forecast drifts outside the planner's stated band. Per-grade contribution to margin visible at every level.

Integrator-grade
CAPABILITY/03

Daily-refresh forecast

The 10-day forecast refreshes daily as new weight signal arrives. Late-cycle confidence band tightens; early deviations are flagged when they would compound through to harvest.

Predictive

Deployment & Integration.

AI-EYE™ deploys at the complex level — cameras in-house, model in the cloud, data integration into the planner's existing tools. KYNAD services handle the install and on-board the live-production and planning teams.

StepWhat happensOwnerTypical timing
01 · Site survey House-by-house assessment of camera placement, network coverage, and existing weighing infrastructure. KYNAD field engineering Week 1–2
02 · Install Camera mount, power, and network drop in each participating house. Calibration against scale-recorded ground truth. KYNAD + integrator ops Week 3–4
03 · Data integration API or file-drop integration with the integrator's planning system, ERP, and grade-reporting infrastructure. KYNAD platform + integrator IT Week 4–6
04 · Onboarding Planner, live-production, and complex-manager training. Scenario-model walkthroughs against historical data. KYNAD customer success Week 5–7
05 · Live operations Continuous monitoring, model drift alerts, monthly performance reviews against scale ground truth. KYNAD platform + integrator Week 8+

Final deployment timing depends on house count, network readiness, and existing data infrastructure. Share your operation profile and we'll return a deployment plan with specific milestones.

The margin mechanism — small shifts, large outcomes.

AI-EYE™ is a processing-margin control system: tightening flock uniformity and concentrating birds in the target weight band converts biological variability into measurable yield and pricing gains. The distribution below is the documented before/after from the harvest-intelligence dataset.

~45–50%
of flock in the target weight band
Underweight−8% of flock
Overweight+7% of flock

Weight-distribution and margin figures reflect documented harvest-intelligence outcomes; actual results vary by operation type, genetics, market, and feed program.

Illustrative ROI — against your operation.

Move the sliders to adjust the scenario against your weekly volume and grade economics. All outputs are illustrative — actual outcomes vary by operation, market conditions, and grade premiums. KYNAD does not guarantee uplift or returns.

Illustrative ROI Model

Default: 1.5M birds/week, 5% shift to premium grades — the published US Tier-1 baseline. Adjust the inputs to match your operation.

Model: annual uplift = birds/week × 52 × (shift % ÷ 100) × premium $/bird. Illustrative ROI assumes ~$880K all-in annual platform cost at this scale; ROI scales sub-linearly with volume in practice.
