New Zealand agritech startup Scanabull<\/strong> has raised NZD $1.1 million<\/strong> in a round led by Sprout Agritech<\/strong>, with support from Enterprise Angels<\/strong> and Callaghan Innovation’s Deep Tech Incubator<\/strong>. The company develops a 3D scanning system<\/strong> that estimates cattle weight using an iPhone LiDAR sensor or a dedicated Scanabull camera<\/strong>, providing fast, accurate measurements without traditional scales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founded in 2024, Scanabull is working with farmers and meat processors<\/strong>, including Silver Fern Farms<\/strong>, to improve weight visibility, reduce handling stress, and support data-driven decision-making across the supply chain<\/strong>. Its AI models, trained on over 100,000 animal data points<\/strong>, achieve 93%+ accuracy<\/strong> and process data directly on-device, making it ideal for farms with poor connectivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first products include the WeighApp<\/strong> for mobile scans and the Weigh Point system<\/strong> for automated paddock weighing, helping track growth trends and optimize farm and market decisions. The latest funding will expand AI development and support international scaling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
