92 JULY / AUGUST 2025 ABASTO.COM By Abasto A rtificial intelligence in pig farms is gaining ground in Mexico and Latin America. As global food demand rises, producers face pressure to boost efficiency without compromising animal welfare or resource management. Tools like Beyond FarmGuardian offer a concrete response. Developed by Beyond Technology, this solution monitors pigs’ health and behavior in real time using AI-powered cameras and algorithms. REAL-TIME DATA ENABLES SMARTER DECISIONS Manual observation once dominated pig farming. Today, sensors and AI came- ras automate surveillance and deliver real-time data to decision-makers on the ground. Jorge Mandujano, founder of Beyond Technology, noted that Beyond FarmGuardian provides actionable, systematic insights. “This technology helps staff respond quickly and make better-informed decisions,” he said. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN PIG FARMS IS RESHAPING ANIMAL PRODUCTION FIELD RESULTS SHOW MEASURABLE IMPROVEMENTS Pig farms using Beyond FarmGuardian report faster responses to disease, lower mortality rates, and tighter operational control. Beyond animal behavior, the system also tracks environmental conditions like temperature and humidity. It detects signs of stress and can reduce unneces- sary antibiotic use by identifying risks before they escalate. MEXICO EMBRACES GLOBAL FARMING TECH Countries like Denmark, Canada, and the U.S. already use artificial intelligence in pig farms as a standard. In Mexico, adop- tion is still growing—but presents a clear opportunity. By implementing smart monitoring tools, Mexican producers can align with global benchmarks for animal welfare and sustainable food production. BEYOND TECHNOLOGY LEADS AI INNOVATION IN AGRICULTURE Based in Mexico with 12 regional offices worldwide, Beyond Technology brings over 30 years of experience in digital transformation. Its work in agriculture reflects a broader push to modernize high-impact sectors through innovation. Its focus on artificial intelligence in pig farms illustrates how technology can solve complex production challenges while advancing ethical practices. TECHNOLOGY BUILT FOR THE FUTURE OF FARMING Beyond FarmGuardian is more than a smart system—it’s a strategic response to shifting consumer and regulatory expectations around food safety, sustai- nability, and traceability. With the ability to monitor animal health, environmental conditions, and behavioral trends, the system creates a new standard for efficient, responsible pig farming. Artificial intelligence in pig farms doesn’t just improve daily operations—it charts a future for agriculture rooted in data, precision, and animal care. A BOOMING GLOBAL AI AGRICULTURE MARKET According to IMARC Group, the global market for AI in agriculture reached $1.8 billion in 2023. It’s expected to exceed $10.1 billion by 2032, with an annual growth rate of 20.51%. Growth is fueled by rising agricultural demand, expanded rural digital infrastructure, and broader integration of smart technologies in food production. We designed a system to identify behavior patterns and detect anomalies, provi- ding automatic alerts that prevent critical situations” Juan Carlos Rea / the project’s lead developer AGRICULTURE INDUSTRY
