Calyx’s AI Eye brings state-of-the-art computer vision and AI to broiler production, enabling continuous, non-invasive weight monitoring at commercial scale. Overhead cameras capture still images of the flock, which our proprietary algorithms use to estimate individual bird weights and real-time flock weight distribution.
Our foundation models are trained on millions of images across major broiler breeds, delivering accurate, actionable insights from day one — without manual calibration, tagging, or farm-specific model setup.
• Smart edge, powerful cloud
Edge algorithms intelligently filter images, ensuring only high-quality data is sent to the cloud for analysis. This significantly reduces bandwidth usage while maintaining data integrity and model performance.
• Image-based and privacy-conscious
AI Eye captures still images (not video), minimizing privacy concerns and enabling smooth operation in regions with limited internet connectivity.
• Built for barn environments
A patented ceiling-mount system enables fast installation and keeps the camera out of the way of workers and cleaning equipment. AI Eye is engineered to perform reliably in dusty, dim, and dynamic poultry house conditions.
• Evolving with your operation
An optional data-collector mode can automatically gather targeted image sets to refine model performance over time — with no extra work from your team.
With AI Eye, integrators gain poultry-specific computer vision that turns flock data into real-time insights — improving decisions, harvest planning, and flock performance.
AI-powered Computer Vision
– Vision Intelligence for Poultry Production
Phage-based Biosensing
– The Secret Agent Decoding Farm Environments
Calyx’s sensing technology is built on M13 bacteriophage, a non-toxic bio-material whose protein structure acts as a highly sensitive bio-chemical transducer. This engineered sensing layer is designed for reliable performance in demanding agricultural environments.
Our reusable bio-materials deliver long service life across thousands of sensing cycles without meaningful degradation — even with exposure to heat, cold, and common chemicals — reducing replacement burden and total operating cost over time.
• Bio-engineered sensing core
M13 phage proteins provide high sensitivity and selectivity as a biological transmitter, enabling precise gas detection signals for agricultural applications.
• Durable in real farm conditions
The sensing layer resists high temperatures (up to 110°C) and exposure to acids, alkalis, and organic solvents — supporting stable performance in harsh environments.
• Reusable, long-life materials
Designed for thousands of cycles, the sensing core minimizes drift and reduces the frequency and cost of sensor replacement.
• Massive receptor library
Our protein receptor library contains ~1 trillion entries — enabling broader chemical recognition than conventional sensing approaches.
• AI-powered quantification
Machine learning correlates sensor color response to gas concentration, improving accuracy and helping distinguish complex mixtures and multi-gas conditions.
With Calyx sensing, producers gain reliable measurement that turns environmental data into operational insight — at farm scale.
Calyx Connect Platform
– The AI Copilot for Poultry Operations
Calyx Connect is the cloud layer behind our sensing systems, designed to share data seamlessly through the Calyx Dashboard or a flexible API.
With Calyx Connect, integrators move from reactive decisions to proactive, data-driven execution — turning flock data into an operational advantage. Built as a modular platform, it unifies vision data, sensor signals, and AI models to deliver real-time insights, alerts, and predictive planning tools tailored to broiler operations. From flock monitoring to harvest optimization, each module is designed to reduce labor, increase precision, and accelerate decision-making at scale.
• Real-time monitoring & analytics
House- and flock-level views for weight, weight distribution, growth trends, and environmental signals — organized for daily action.
• Predictive planning tools
AI-powered harvest planner that selects optimal houses and dates based on projected weight distribution, plant capacity, and customer specs. Schedule is finalized one week before harvest with built-in buffer and manual override options.
• Sensor health & diagnostics
Automated monitoring of sensor and camera performance with alerting, diagnostics, and uptime analytics — enabling proactive maintenance.
• Algorithm update pipeline
Integrated learning loop from farm to cloud — combining optional data collector inputs with cloud training infrastructure to improve model performance without disrupting operations.
• Historical insights & benchmarking
Visual dashboards and data exports allow you to compare across flocks, farms, and feed programs — surfacing trends that inform nutrition and management strategies.
• Secure, scalable, connected
Calyx Cloud is built for agricultural environments, supporting low-bandwidth data pipelines, farm or complex-level user access controls, and multi-site management — all through a secure, web-based interface.
With Calyx Connect, integrators turn sensor and vision data into actionable insights — improving decisions, planning, and performance at scale.
