Once available, you’ll be able to purchase Scanabull directly.
To be among the first to access early release opportunities, join our Early Access Group.
Pricing details will be announced closer to our official launch.
Scanabull is being developed to provide an affordable, scalable alternative to traditional weighing options. Delivering savings in equipment, infrastructure, mustering, labour and weight set backs.
Further savings come down to how the Scanabull weigh data is used to more optimally manage stock, movements, purchases and planning.

Quick. Approximately one second to weigh an animal.
More acute camera angles may require two seconds whereas highly optimal camera angles can capture a weight in less than one second.

If you’re comfortable moving stock in a yard and you have a good understanding of how cattle move, the Scanabull Weigh App will be an easily adopted tool in your tool kit.
Scanabull estimates liveweight using 3D LiDAR vision tech similar to a camera, meaning cattle don’t need to be forced over physical scales.
Traditional scales require cattle to be yarded, stopped and handled, which takes time and adds stress. It also requires heavy expensive infrastructure. Scanabull is designed to work as cattle move naturally, allowing weights to be captured more frequently with less handling.
Scanabull isn’t intended to replace scales in every situation, but it can reduce how often you need to use them.
It’s a flexible, low-stress solution that works in real farm conditions.
No, the Scanabull weigh technology works well with moving animals. Scanabull is being built for practical on-farm use, so animals do not need to be still. As you can probably guess, the tech requires full site of the animal, it cannot be obscured by another animal or object.
Best results come from side angles within 45 degrees front and back and up and down – allowing flexibility in how the animals are moving and operator height.
Yes. Scanabull is being developed and tested across a range of cattle breeds and farm systems.
Our models are continuously improving as more data is collected during trials.
Scanabull aims to provide reliable weight estimates that support confident decision-making.
As a base comparison, traditional scales are considered to provide 95% accuracy due to the variation in environment, calibration and gut fill.
Scanabull is on track to exceed 95% with our leading data set and proprietary models.
Combine this high accuracy with the time, labour, infrastructure and stress savings and Scanabull is the leading choice for many farming operations.
Accuracy may vary depending on conditions such as animal posture, angle, lighting and how many seconds the camera can capture the animal.
Yes. In one click you decide if your data is saved.
Your Scanabull WeighIQ portal contains your images, data and history. Available anytime to view and analyse mobs and individual animals, making clearer management decisions.
You can also choose who else in your team can view these results and can easily share data with your trusted agri-advisors and partners.
Scanabull’s saved animal image feature offers a unique traceability and transparency advantage.
Absolutely. Scanabull weigh system makes it easy to share photographed weights and results with your team, partners, agents, vets, or clients.
Cattle identification and animal recognition features are in development.
Scanabull is offering open integration to farm data platforms to minimise data handling and ensure you get the most value out of your data. If there is a data platform you would like your weight and photographic data integrated with then please let us know so we can roll this out. S per privacy policy, any data transfer is at the permission of the owner of the data i.e. if you are a farmer paying for the WeighApp, the decision to share your data with MINDA or FarmIQ is in your hands.
For corporate enterprises, talk to us about customised integration options for your ERP systems.
Please contact us on weighin@scanabull.com We are considering international distribution options for after we have launched and supported the New Zealand market.

To use the Scanabull app, you'll needs an iPhone Pro or Pro max that has a LiDAR sensor to capture accurate 3D scans. LiDAR is the small black circle next to the camera lenses on the back of the phone (see photo below). This sensor lets your phone measure depth and distance, which is how the app builds a precise 3D model.
Another way to check is to go to Settings > About and look at Model Name. If it includes "Pro" or "Pro Max", our app can be used on your phone.
