Origin Chain
Origin Chain offers blockchain-enabled software solutions to the dual problems of real-world asset authentication or proof-of-origin traceability and securing first-look insights into consumer needs in export markets.
The benefits of the software include:
The creation of secure product-traceability, compliance and brand authenticity in order to address consumer trust in new and existing markets. Sharing the costs with consortia participants, aggregating market insights, future-proofing market strategies, protecting business interests and privacy. The company is at the design phase of the software platform that will enhance the route to market for the Irish agri-food and manufacturing sectors.
Prolego Scientific
Prolego Scientific has developed two proprietary algorithms for predicting performance and breeding values in thoroughbred animals and crops.
It is successfully operating in the equine industry and has delivered a 20% improvement in predictive accuracy across a wide range of performance metrics.
Currently, the algorithms are used to predict outcomes such as optimal racing conditions for elite thoroughbred race horses and their susceptibility to heritable diseases.
It is currently expanding into new verticals such as poultry and aquaculture, where the algorithms will be used to improve animal health and welfare and improve commercial KPIs of interest.
Pro-Revive
The Pro-Revive Resuscitation Unit is developed to aid with the resuscitation of a newborn animal that is born with a heartbeat but is not breathing.
Remote Signals Ltd
Remote Signals designs and builds sensor systems that combine wireless sensors with low-powered wide area networks and cloud-based analytics - all in an easy-to-use, software-centric solution.
Remote Signals believes that by making sensors simple to deploy and the data easy to consume, customers will be able to deploy them in places they've never been used before.
SCALP
This innovation is an implement that combs top-of-the-ground field stones into rows and is very effective at doing so.
These rows of stone in turn can be loaded into trailers by harvesters or front-end loaders, with beet baskets or something similar.
Its 46 adjustable spring-loaded pins also tills and levels the soil while rowing.
Stone comb is ideal for de-stoning land before reseeding or putting in a crop and it is practically maintenance-free.
Scalping, depriving the top ground of stone, can have major savings in use of fertiliser and increase yields.
Terra NutriTECH
Terra NutriTech is an intelligent mineral-dosing system designed to help farms become more profitable through better animal health and innovative technology.
It works with partners to improve animal health using agtech and automation to accurately feed minerals in water.
Terra NutriTech offers a plug-and-play system to farmers that:
Increases herd health.Saves time and money.Accurately dispenses minerals.Reduces supplementary feed costs.Maximises profits.At Terra NutriTech, innovation is at the heart. It is the winner of the National Enterprise Awards 2018 and Google Adopt A Startup 2018.
The Calf Floor Company
The Calf Floor is non-porous, water-tight and power washable.
It can be easily moved, yet has the strength to take the weight of calves and farmers. It has a non-slip surface.
Waste falls under the calf floor from its curved cushioned surface and can be removed from underneath. It is soft to lie on and no straw is required.
Suitable for all calves up to 300kg, newborn or sickly calves.
The heated calf floor has all the features of The Calf Floor plus a built-in thermostatic heating system.
TOXOR Water Quality/Toxicity Testing
TOXOR is a platform sensor technology aimed at the water quality monitoring (microbiological and chemical), fecal contamination detection and indicative toxicity testing market.
It is a low-cost and rapid sensor for agri-food businesses and farming applications.
Simple and portable.Rapid, high throughput, quantitative and cost effective. Bacterial contamination level and toxin strength (IC50).Whole toxicity testing /screening.Vahey Field Mouse
A trailed grass conditioner that is equipped with a gyro gear box.
Willbo Dual Head Scoops
Designed by Willie Bolton, a beef farmer, Dual Speed ratchet system has 1,134kg lifting power. The dual scoop fits all makes of head gates, with no welding or drilling required. The clamping system is designed to take 50mm OD up to 80mm OD pipe box section 50/50 up to 80/80, rectangle 60/40 80/60.
A safety recoil is built in if the animal goes down. Available in either galvanised or plastic coating finish.
Requires just one 27mm spanner to erect. Optional overhead attachment. Makes routine tasks easier and safer for both farmer and livestock.
