'Non-contact Swine Weight Measurement Device' Illuvation Selected as This Month's A-Ventures

The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs announced on the 26th that Illuvation has been selected as the 48th company of this month's A-Ventures.

Illuvation is a startup developing and distributing a mobile weight measurement device for pig farming that utilizes 3D scanning and image processing technology to minimize the inconvenience of physical weight scales commonly used in pig farms.

Illuvation's mobile weight measurement device, 'VIIEW,' captures finishing pigs with a 3D scanner and measures their weight with over 96% accuracy within 5 seconds through a conversion calculation method. Compared to physical weight scales, it reduces labor for farmers, easily calculates the optimal shipping time, and helps save feed costs, thereby contributing to increased farm income.

Illuvation succeeded in commercialization after winning the grand prize (Presidential Award) at the 2018 'Agri-food Startup Contest.' It has sold a cumulative total of 265 units to date, generating sales of 1.7 billion KRW, maintaining its growth momentum. Recognized for its technology and achievements, the company attracted about 500 million KRW in investment and was selected as one of the '1000 Innovative National Companies' in 2022.

Illuvation entered the global pig farming market by participating in 'Euro Tier,' the world's largest livestock exhibition in 2022, and signing memorandums of understanding (MOUs) with large-scale livestock farms in Germany, Denmark, and other European countries. This year, to expand its overseas business, it is participating in the '2023 World Pork Expo' held in the United States and is pursuing export diversification through MOUs with global local partners including those in China.

An Illuvation representative stated, "We plan to improve the system by converting the accumulated results into big data and artificial intelligence (AI) to reproduce higher accuracy and shorten measurement time. Through continuous R&D investment and product performance improvements, we aim to establish competitiveness in the global market."
