Open Innovation challenges
Tender ID: 522241
Tender Details
Tender Description
The LEP RD&E Program has developed an Open Innovation Pipeline to allow multiple small-scale technology trials to satisfy the livestock export industry’s desire for practical and immediate solutions to common supply chain problems. Six key challenges have been identified. Responses are sought from mid to late stage technology solutions for Proof-of Concept trials.
The details can be found in the following Terms of Reference:
- Automated collection of animal weights: Automate the process of weighing individual animals, and digitally recording that weight, during loading and unloading of the animals for export.
- Better flooring for animals during sea export: Identify better flooring material or designs that may support ongoing improvements in livestock management on board livestock export ships.
- Automated identification of shy feeders: Automate the process of identifying animals that are shy feeders to allow for early intervention and reduce the risk of weight loss and poor health outcomes.
- Automated onboard gas monitoring: Automate the process of monitoring ammonia (and other gas) levels during livestock export to allow for early intervention.
- Automated cattle counting: Identify and trial a solution which results in little-to-no discrepancies between the count of cattle on a ship, at discharge and at induction in the destination feedlot.
- Reserve fodder and bedding storage: Identify better flooring material or designs that may support ongoing improvements in livestock management on board livestock export ships.
All proposals must agree to the standard Services Agreement.
Please submit all responses by 5pm AEST 11 April 2023 via the BrightIdea platform
