Do you speak chicken?

Digital barn monitoring with AI – see, hear, understand

Chickens cluck, flutter and run – and often say more than you might think. With REPORTIO, we are developing a smart IoT and AI platform that recognizes and interprets acoustic and visual patterns and transforms them into usable data. What sounds like science fiction actually brings real progress in terms of animal welfare, efficiency and transparency. And best of all, you don’t have to learn to speak chicken – our AI will do it for you.

How smart farming with AI in poultry farming makes clucking understandable.

The SCIIL AG together with its subsidiary SCIIL Baltic UAB in Lithuania, has launched an EU-funded research project that is well worth hearing – and seeing: REPORTIO is an intelligent solution for Smart farming with AI in poultry farming. The system analyzes clucking, scratching and behaviour in the barn and turns it into measurable data for greater animal welfare. The aim is a new form of digital barn monitoring – with artificial intelligence that not only understands chickens, but also reacts to stress or abnormalities at an early stage.

Led by SCIIL Baltic and supported by EU funding, REPORTIO combines our experience in industrial digitalization with a genuine heart for animals. Because modern agriculture needs not only technology, but also understanding – for what the chickens want to tell us

REPORTIO combines microphones and cameras with intelligent software. The recordings are analyzed directly on site on small edge PCs. This saves bandwidth – and enables a real-time response if something is wrong.

Movement patterns & group dynamics via video

Our video analysis recognizes unsteady or disturbed movement sequences:

  • Individual animals that suddenly stop moving (stress, illness, death?)
  • Human visitors in the barn (potential trigger for stress)
  • Abnormalities in swarm behavior

Acoustic patterns: What the microphone hears in the barn

Our audio analysis recognizes typical sound patterns and translates the “chicken talk” into clear information. The AI filters out relevant sequences and identifies acoustic anomalies such as:

  • Intense clucking or restlessness (stress, excitement, disturbance)
  • Noticeable volume peaks (fright, sudden disturbance in the stall)
  • Unusual silence (indication of malfunction, illness or group tension)
  • Localized sound sources (group stress or individual animals in difficulty)

Together with the video data, a clear overall picture is created: if the audio analysis reports stress and the camera simultaneously shows hectic movements – or a person in the stable – REPORTIO immediately recognizes the connection and reacts intelligently.

Classification & learning with a system

Our AI not only understands “beep” from “cock-a-doodle-doo”, but also makes a distinction:

  • Normal behavior
  • Feeding situations
  • Excitement / Cackling
  • Stress reactions

And best of all, the AI is constantly learning – thanks to an intelligent feedback cycle (“teach → detect → assess → correct → retrain”) and the experience of real experts.

Early warning system for greater animal welfare

Stress caused by temperature, peer pressure or illness results in altered, deviating movement patterns and vocalization. REPORTIO recognizes changes before they escalate. This helps farmers to react more quickly and in a more targeted manner.

Automated reporting made easy

Our solution creates structured event logs that are valuable both in practice and in research – whether for studies, audits or operational optimization.

Transparent data – better decisions

All information ends up in a dashboard: mobile, understandable, customizable. Data-driven farming – but with heart.

Our goal: Smart poultry farming with heart, mind – and AI

With REPORTIO, we are taking smart farming with AI in poultry farming to the next level. For healthier animals, better data and satisfied farmers – without any language barriers.

    “The intelligent tracking solution is web-based and creates cross-process transparency regarding the use and whereabouts of individual packages.”

    Gerd Brandl,
    Key Account Manager Technical Solutions

    In the semiconductor industry, where sensitive precision components involve high material costs and production is subject to significant time pressure, controlling and tracing material flows is more important than ever. The smart SCOTT logistics solution, developed jointly by Leadec and SCIIL AG, provides the required transparency and control.

    “The SCIIL eLPA system is easy to use and impresses with its functionality. What is particularly important for me as a plant manager is that I have online access and a complete overview of our audits at all times – whether I’m in the office or on the road. “

    Jürgen Müller,
    Plant Manager Adient Saarlouis

    Adient Saarlouis was the first plant in the Group to successfully pilot SCIIL eLPA. In the complex seat assembly process with numerous customer requirements, daily LPAs and high OEM pressure, the tool ensures a clear structure, simple implementation and maximum transparency – a must when quality has to be assured on a daily basis. Today, SCIIL eLPA is standard and runs in all Adient plants worldwide.

    “If only we had introduced SCIIL eLPA earlier – today it almost runs itself with process audits and is really well received by the team.”

    Daniel Zimmermann,
    Global Commodity Buyer

    As a global automotive supplier with over 100 locations and the highest quality requirements, MAHLE needs a system that maps daily LPAs efficiently, transparently and uniformly worldwide. Manual planning and evaluation was error-prone and time-consuming – with SCIIL eLPA, a centralized system was introduced that automates planning, makes deviations immediately visible and structures the processes across all locations. This not only increases audit quality, but also ensures the necessary acceptance among users.
