The idea
What it's about
Our camera system analyses animal behaviour 24/7 and reports deviations from the norm. If we see deviations, we look at what is causing them and what needs to be changed and pass this information directly on to the farmer. He can then take the appropriate measures and ensure that the husbandry environment is optimised for the animals. This makes us the "invisible employee" in the barn, so to speak, who sees everything and can informin good time . We combine the experience and knowledge of the farmer with our (AI) analyses to give the animals the best possible life. Our system is basically very simple: Our cameras film the animals in the barn and our AI recognises the individual animals live and in real time - we then call this the "unspecific individual animal". Our system then writes down in each individual video image where the animals were recognised. We can then use this to calculate the animal distribution and the activity of the animals. Then there are other AIs that search for dead animals, for example, or systems that issue warnings when a problem with the barn technology has beendetected - all based on the animals' behaviour! We are just at the beginning of the possibilities of our technology. Over the past two years, we have focussed on developing a practical system that brings added financial value to the barn. Now that the technology is working, the aim is to learn and understandas many correlations as possible from the animals . In the long term, we consider it essential to relieve the farmer of the necessary day-to-day business. Together with the providers of barn climate solutions, we want toautomate the climate control of the barns via animal behaviour, for example, so that farmers can concentrate on the actual problems and otherwise know that the barn is running. By automating these processes, we can then take care of the needs of our animals more efficiently and reduce the workload at the same time. The automation of climate control in barns is not only an improvement for farmers, but also for the environment. By adjusting the conditions in the barn in a targeted manner, we can save energy and reduce emissions. Especially in times of climate change, it is important to find sustainable solutions that make both ecological and economic sense .
The team
Who is behind it
VetVise was founded in autumn 2020 out of the University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover.
The founding team consists of Jakob Wendt, responsible for data security and technological development, veterinarian Johannes Schmidt-Mosig, who looks after the human-animal-machine interface, and Norman Caspari, responsible for the business side. We are a young, committed team of physicists, veterinarians, IT specialists, agricultural scientists and business developers with flat hierarchies, we remain down-to-earth and work on an equal footing.

We have known the Seedhouse since it was founded. Thanks to the Growhouse, our contact has become even closer. Above all, it offers us the best ecosystem for networking: whether with customers, partners or our investor Landwirtschaftsverlag from Münster.

Success story
Get together and feel good
For us, the Seedhouse is a place to come together and feel good. By using the office space, we have been able to create a centre for ourselves in Osnabrück. We now have closer to our customers, a place to meet and the opportunity to take partin various workshops and events on site. We can alwaysrely on the support and expertise of the Seedhouse at and
not only have the opportunity to train employees, but can also benefit from the constant exchange with each other in order to further develop and expand our company. Together with the Seedhouse, we have already been able to exhibit at events such as Agritechnica itself and can easily get to know potential new customers and partners.
