Poultry & Agriculture • Ogun State, Nigeria • 15,000+ bird capacity
How a commercial poultry operation eliminated guesswork, achieved protocol compliance, and reduced losses through facial recognition and task-level accountability
"Trust But Can't Verify" Costing Thousands in Lost Production
The farm manager issued clear protocols—egg collection three times daily, precise feeding schedules, hourly temperature monitoring, and timely egg turning in the hatchery. Workers confirmed tasks were "done," but inconsistent execution told a different story.
Critical gaps emerged across operations:
• Egg collection delays: Workers claimed "3x daily" collection, but eggs sat in coops longer than optimal, reducing quality and hatchability
• Feeding schedule drift: Morning feeds happened at 7 AM one day, 9 AM the next—disrupting bird health and production consistency
• Temperature blindspots: Incubation rooms showed "monitored," but no proof of hourly checks meant heat fluctuations went undetected until batch failures
• Hatchery protocol shortcuts: Egg turning schedules (critical for embryo development) depended entirely on operator memory and honesty
Manual logbooks showed perfect compliance. Actual results—low hatch rates, unexplained losses, and productivity below industry benchmarks—told management something was broken. Without verifiable evidence, the farm manager couldn't identify which workers followed protocols and which cut corners.
✓ Verification Engine
Facial recognition check-ins require workers to biometrically verify identity before logging any task—eliminating buddy-punching and false completion claims.
✓ Proof Points
Task-specific photo and video evidence is required for egg collection counts, temperature readings, feed dispensed, and chick transfers.
✓ 24/7 Supervision
Scheduled task tracking with real-time dashboards and alerts allows managers to detect non-compliance within hours instead of weeks, backed by a full audit trail of timestamps, worker ID, location, and evidence.
