Smart Environmental Monitoring for Animal Wellness

Intelligent Sound Detection for Early Intervention, Behavioral Insight, and Safer Animal Environments

Smart Environmental Monitoring for Animal Wellness

Early signs of animal distress or abnormal behavior often emerge through subtle acoustic cueswell before any physical symptoms become visible. By interpreting these sound patterns, animal care professionals can respond swiftly to prevent illness, injury, or operational issues. Pet & Livestock Industry delivers cutting-edge Acoustic Monitoring (Sound Sensors) designed for non-invasive, around-the-clock surveillance of animal environments. Our smart sensors capture variations in vocalization, movement sounds, and ambient noise to flag early signs of stress, aggression, respiratory conditions, and even equipment failure. Built for use in farms, shelters, clinics, and pet boarding facilities, these systems offer proactive insights and instant alerts that enhance animal welfare and facility management. Headquartered in Houston, TX, we serve B2B clients across North America with intelligent, scalable technologies backed by responsive support and a commitment to continuous innovation

Core Components

Hardware

High-sensitivity directional microphones: Utilized BLE Gateways, Beacons & Accessories to capture and transmit sound data from specific animal zones with precision.

Wide-frequency unidirectional sound sensors: Integrated with Wi-Fi HaLow End Devices for localized detection of vocal stress signals or distress calls in livestock environments.

Noise-canceling enclosures for focused detection: Paired with LoRaWAN End Devices to isolate and transmit only relevant animal acoustic signals across long distances.

Weatherproof casings for indoor/outdoor use: Combined with Wi-Fi HaLow End Devicesto enable consistent sound monitoring regardless of environmental exposure

Mounting kits for stalls, cages, ceilings, and pens: Supported by Z-Wave Accessories to allow easy installation and alignment of acoustic sensors across different enclosures.

Edge-processing modules for local signal filtering: Enabled through Device Edge hardware for real-time, on-site sound pattern filtering before transmission.

Case Studies

Case Study 1: Swine Facility, Iowa, USA

A large swine operation integrated our acoustic sensors to monitor piglet vocalizations during farrowing. Alerts for elevated stress helped staff intervene earlier, reducing mortality rates by 18% over six months.

Case Study 2: Veterinary Clinic, Oregon, USA

A busy veterinary hospital deployed our sound sensors to detect overnight animal distress. One system identified recurring nocturnal agitation in recovering pets, leading to modified medication schedules and faster healing

Case Study 3: Dog Rescue Shelter, Ontario, Canada

Our technology helped a nonprofit shelter analyze barking patterns to distinguish anxiety from aggression. With data-driven adjustments to kennel pairings, aggression incidents dropped by 40% within two months
