Signs of life and consciousness
Although stunning is intended to render animals unconscious before further processing, responses can vary between individuals. In rare cases, an animal may temporarily regain consciousness during the bleeding process. By detecting signs early, animal welfare can be safeguarded throughout the process.
What Argus does
Argus continuously monitors animals during the bleeding process using advanced video analysis techniques to detect:
- Signs of regained consciousness, based on both visual and motion cues
- Irregular body movements that may indicate awareness
When such signs are detected, the system can:
- Alert supervisory personnel through visual and audible alarms
- Optionally trigger an automatic track stop enabling rapid response
This ensures that no signs of regained consciousness go unnoticed, even in high-speed processing environments.
Benefits
-
Immediate detection of welfare-critical events
-
Automated alerts to supervisory staff
-
Consistent, objective monitoring, without reliance on human observation
