Macso Technologies and Unigen have collaborated to introduce AI-powered livestock monitoring and management solutions for farms, with a strong emphasis on early disease detection and reducing costs.
Macso’s AI-enabled sensors, especially designed for swine, are capable of detecting respiratory illnesses at an early stage, leading to a decrease in mortality rates and the need for antibiotics.
Unigen has integrated Macso’s software into its Poundcake AI inference server, offering cost-effective, on-premise edge AI solutions for farms that do not rely on cloud connectivity.
This system enables real-time monitoring, alerts, and remote access for veterinarians and stakeholders to make timely decisions.
According to Paul W. Heng, founder and CEO of Unigen, “By implementing our distinct approach to AI inference in high-powered servers, Unigen is making advanced AI server technology accessible to farmers and veterinarians, while ensuring their data remains on-premises and secure.” The partnership with Macso marks an exciting progression as they introduce their AI solutions into various industries, including retail, security, and agriculture, among others. Their goal is to assist businesses in adopting AI solutions that operate locally, without depending on the cloud.”
Respiratory illnesses contribute to 60% of swine deaths worldwide, and Macso’s technology addresses this issue by providing round-the-clock monitoring and early detection capabilities.
The collaboration aims to enhance sustainability in animal health management, tackling challenges such as carbon emissions, hunger, and malnutrition. Macso and Unigen displayed their solutions at the World Pork Expo in June 2025.
