Dairy Farming DX with Commercial Cameras x Generative AI The community "Metagri Research Institute" (operated by Noujoujin Co., Ltd.), which promotes "Agriculture x New Technology," will sequentially release a three-part interview series on the AI media for farmers "Nougyo AI Tsushin" starting July 1, 2026. The series will introduce the practices of Kawakami Farm (Shimane Prefecture), which is working to reduce the burden of nighttime barn checks by combining commercially available network cameras with AI. Mr. Kawakami himself built a system that starts small with commercial cameras and a self-made system, without relying on expensive dedicated equipment. This system uses AI to determine signs of estrus and inability to stand during the night, notifying the farmer's smartphone only when attention is needed. The series will cover the background of the introduction, the system's mechanisms, and the results and challenges observed through its operation. It aims to provide hints for DX in primary industries facing labor shortages, not just in dairy farming, by starting with on-site issues.
