How does it work?

The MIJ mobile device takes a picture of the carcass barcode before capturing the ribeye area. Through a wifi connection the image is uploaded to the MIJ Livestock Database Analysis, to be analysed automatically and in a matter of seconds. By logging into the MIJ Carcass Image Database, the carcass images and the results of the analyses can be visualised.
