Harvest Intelligence — the plant, planned.
Predictive weight forecasting and harvest scheduling.
The CALYX analytics platform — the predictive-analytics and scheduling layer of VANTIS™, KYNAD's precision-poultry intelligence platform. CALYX engineers the whole stack: the AI-EYE™ camera is purpose-built from scratch, not off-the-shelf hardware bolted onto the software. Harvest Intelligence Software turns AI-EYE™ flock weight and Y-Series environmental signal into a forward harvest plan — rolling 3- and 7-day forecasts and a Cloud Connect scheduling app that lands more birds in the premium band. A processing-margin control system, not a monitoring tool.
From signal to a harvest plan.
Flock weight and shed environment are only useful if they translate into a decision. Harvest Intelligence Software is that translation layer — continuously forecasting harvest weight, timing and uniformity so planners and live-production teams act on tomorrow's flock, not yesterday's report.
Real-time growth tracking
Average daily gain and flock weight measured against each breed's genetic and house-specific historic curve — surfacing, e.g., a flock "~5 days behind target" on day 32, while there's still time to act.
3- & 7-day forecasting
Rolling weight and uniformity forecasts — 3-day 97.5% and 7-day 96.7% accuracy — with a real-time weight distribution (bell curve) and CV prediction for the premium target band.
Harvest schedule optimization
The engine processes millions of potential harvest combinations and returns the schedule that puts the most birds in the target weight range — aligning farm pull with daily plant demand.
Phase-feeding & risk flags
Adjusts starter→grower→finisher timing on actual growth, not calendar days, and raises early flags on growth and FCR risk before they reach the kill-floor report.
What the forecast moves.
Daily farm-level weight and uniformity predictions let planners pick the exact day a flock peaks in the premium band — turning weight insight directly into fewer downgrades and more premium birds.

The Cloud Connect scheduling app.
Forecasts feed a harvest-scheduling application that plans optimized delivery to the processing plant with minimal downgrades. It works in three moves.
Optimization
Set processing targets and target-weight groups. The system processes millions of potential harvest combinations and identifies the schedule with maximum yield potential.
Daily selection
Choose the optimal number of farms Monday through Friday — with capacity utilization, half-house harvest options, and shed/house selection built in.
Execution
Execute the plan that puts the most birds in the target weight range, with a daily farm schedule by shift, drag-and-drop between schedules, and export to Excel.

The ROI model.
An illustrative AI-EYE™ + Y-Series™ economic model for a representative large-scale Australian operation (KYNAD + GreenSave partnership). It frames the platform as processing-margin control — every cent per kilo of margin compounds across the network.
