• Wuggl – Pig Weighing Technology

Traditional methods of weighing pigs present several challenges for farmers that have been effectively addressed by a new technology. The conventional process of pig weighing is often time-consuming and labor-intensive, requiring the use of physical scales. This traditional approach can be particularly challenging when attempting to obtain accurate measurements due to the difficulty in handling and restraining the animals. Conventional weighing methods may not always provide the precision required. Moreover, the act of physically weighing pigs can induce stress and discomfort for the animals, potentially affecting their well-being. Stressful weighing processes may lead to inaccurate results as the animals may not remain still or cooperative during the procedure.

Additionally, the need for specific setups and equipment for traditional weighing methods can pose logistical challenges on the farm. The portability and flexibility of weighing equipment are crucial factors, especially in dynamic agricultural environments where pigs may be situated in various locations such as barns or outdoor runs.

The goal of WUGGL's innovative pig-weighing solution is to revolutionize traditional pig weighing methods. The key goals include simplifying the weighing process for farmers by introducing a non-contact, instant measurement method. WUGGL strives to enhance efficiency, user-friendliness, and precision in weight measurements while minimizing stress on the animals. The solution is designed to be versatile, catering to various farm environments, and incorporates practical features such as robust construction and a user-friendly interface to meet the specific needs of farmers in pig management.

Founded in southern Styria (Austria), WUGGL is an agricultural startup that aims to revolutionize the weighing of pigs. WUGGL's innovative pig-weighing technology, represents a significant change to traditional methods, introducing a streamlined and efficient approach to the weighing process. At the heart of this technology is a novel non-contact measurement method that eliminates the need for physical scales. Instead, the farmer takes a picture of the pig's body, and the application displays the accurate weight.
This user-friendly interface ensures that farmers can easily select the specific pig for weighing, regardless of its angle or stance. The instantaneous nature of the measurement not only reduces the labour intensity associated with traditional weighing but also minimizes stress on the animals, as there is no need for physical contact or restraint during the process.
Portability is a key feature of WUGGL's technology, allowing farmers to weigh pigs in diverse locations, whether in barns, runs, or other environments. The WUGGL One's practical design incorporates impact-resistant materials, making it durable even in challenging agricultural conditions. Additionally, its waterproof housing facilitates easy cleaning, addressing the inevitable exposure to dust and dirt in farming settings
In summary, WUGGL's pig-weighing technology stands out for its non-contact, instant measurement method, user-friendly interface, and practical design features. By addressing the challenges of traditional methods, WUGGL One offers farmers a more efficient, accurate, and stress-free solution for managing the weight of their pigs in diverse agricultural settings.
The technology significantly accelerates the process of weighing pigs optically and eliminates the need for each pig to be individual weighted on a scale.

WUGGL's pig-weighing device utilizes a non-contact measurement method, which allows the device to capture an image of the pig's body with a simple click. This image is then processed in real-time through a combination of hardware and advanced algorithms, and the accurate weight of the pig is displayed on the device's screen.
Farmers interact with the technology through a user-friendly interface, which is especially handy when using it on the field or in different environments. By selecting the specific pig on the display with a click, farmers can initiate the weighing process. This intuitive interaction ensures quick and efficient measurements without the need for physical contact or complex setup. The technology's portability and adaptability further enhance its usability, enabling farmers to weigh pigs wherever necessary, whether in barns, runs, or other locations. The combination of technological innovation and user-friendly design positions the WUGGL One as a modern and effective solution for simplifying the pig-weighing process in agriculture.

• Body image of the animal and weight can be read immediately and with a greater accuracy than traditional methods.
• Weight measuring accuracy is at 98%.
• Determining the animal's weight is possible from many angles, which also eliminates the need for a physical contact with the animal.
• The technology is an inexpensive alternative to conventional animal scales.
• Weight control option for each animal and group of animals.
