Automated chick sexing and sorting at production speed.
Sortand combines vision AI, counting, and precision sorting in one compact system. Process up to 36,000 chicks per hour while reducing manual handling and recording every decision.
Built for production
More than a sorting machine.
Sortand combines continuous vision, edge AI, and software-controlled actuation in one compact production system. It measures every chick, makes an individual decision, and records the result in a single pass.
Measure
Continuous vision captures each chick's visible traits, position, and movement without slowing the line.
Decide
On-device AI classifies each chick using production-trained models and records a confidence score.
Act
Software-controlled air routes each chick immediately to the correct lane at line speed.
Record
Automatic counts and event logs provide a clear, confidence-scored record of every production run.
The machine
Engineered for the hatchery, built in food-grade stainless.
A compact, wash-down-ready sorting cell — vision, on-device compute, and pneumatic sorting integrated into one stainless-steel frame that drops onto your line.
Food-grade stainless
Sanitary, corrosion-resistant, wash-down construction.
Integrated vision + AI
Camera, lighting, and on-device compute in one enclosure.
Drop-in footprint
Compact cell that fits existing hatchery flow.
What we do
Automated poultry inspection, built for the hatchery floor.
One vision system replaces manual sexing and counting — running continuously, logging every bird, and sorting in milliseconds.
Real-time detection
On-device AI identifies every chick the instant it enters frame — no cloud round-trip, no line slow-down.
Sexing & sorting
Classifies and routes each bird with precision air valves, hitting throughput a manual team can't sustain.
Counting & traceability
Every bird is tallied and logged with confidence scores, giving you an audit-ready record of the whole run.
How it works
From camera to sort in milliseconds.
Capture
A high-speed camera images each bird as it falls past the inspection window.
Detect
On-device AI locates and classifies the bird, with a confidence score per detection.
Sort
Precision air valves divert each bird to the correct lane in a few milliseconds.
Count
A running tally and full event log are written for every bird in the run.
A complete production record
Each run finishes with reconciled totals, confidence scores, and an event log your team can review without counting the flock again by hand.
Inside the AI
Watch it read the feather pattern.
Day-old chicks are sexed by the length pattern of their wing feathers. The AI zooms into each wing and fades everything except the detail it uses to make the call — shown here on three real birds, including a tricky reverse-feathering male.
