YardScan AI
Camera-based brand scanning for every draft point, lane, and ramp in the saleyard. Instant NLIS cross-reference. Compliance reporting auto-generated. Works offline.
85% of Australian saleyards run Outcross Systems. None have AI brand scanning. Until now.
How It Works
AI at Every Critical Point
Mount cameras where animals move. YardScan AI handles the rest — identification, cross-reference, compliance documentation, and alerts.
Draft Point Scanning
Camera at the drafting gate reads brands as animals pass. Automatic sorting based on brand identification — right pen, right lot, every time.
Lane Monitoring
Cameras along the selling lane capture brands during live auctions. Every animal identified and logged in real time, linked to the sale record.
Loading Ramp Verification
Final verification at loading. Confirms the right animals are going on the right truck. Catches mismatches before animals leave the yard.
Features
Enterprise Saleyard Features
Instant NLIS Cross-Reference
Every brand scan is automatically cross-referenced against NLIS tag reads. Mismatches between visual brand and electronic tag are flagged instantly — catch wrong-pen errors, lost tags, and identification issues before animals are sold.
Platform Integration
Pre-built integrations with AuctionsPlus (online bidding), Stocklive (live auction streaming), and FarmGate (compliance). Designed to complement Outcross Systems — not replace it. Data flows where it needs to go.
Auto-Generated Compliance Reports
NVD documentation, movement records, and traceability reports generated automatically from scan data. Every animal's movement through the yard documented with timestamps, brand images, and NLIS cross-references. Audit-ready without manual data entry.
Works Offline
Full edge computing on Raspberry Pi 5 + Hailo NPU. No internet dependency — critical for regional saleyards with unreliable connectivity. All processing happens on-site. Data syncs when WiFi is available.
Real-Time Alerts
Mismatch detected? Brand unreadable? Animal in wrong pen? YardScan alerts operators instantly via screen display, mobile notification, or saleyard PA system integration. Problems caught before they cost money.
Analytics Dashboard
Throughput analytics, scan accuracy rates, mismatch frequency, processing times. Data-driven insights for saleyard managers to optimise operations and identify recurring issues.
Designed to Work With Outcross Systems
85% of Australian saleyards run Outcross. YardScan AI is built to complement — not replace — your existing platform. We add the AI layer that Outcross doesn't have.
Existing saleyard management, lot management, accounting, buyer/seller records
YardScan AI adds the visual identification layer
Electronic + visual identification. Dual-layer traceability. Compliance confidence.
