Participation of JSC “Atameken-Agro” in the seminar “Business and Innovations”

On September 26, 2024, Astana hosted the “Business and Innovation” seminar organized by Nazarbayev University Research and Innovation System (NURIS). This event brought together leading experts and business representatives to discuss modern trends in technology and innovation. Our company proudly took part in this event, presenting our achievements and plans in the field of digital transformation.
Our IT manager Bakhytzhan Almatov spoke at the seminar and shared his experience of implementing new technologies in the Atameken-Agro Group of Companies. He focused on the importance of digitalization in the agricultural sector and how it helps us improve the efficiency and sustainability of our business.
One of the most important steps in our development was cooperation with NURIS and COWMAS within the framework of the corporate acceleration program. This partnership is aimed at developing innovative solutions in the field of precision livestock farming, in particular, remote monitoring systems for cattle.
Among the key products developed by COWMAS, the control gate stands out. This system allows for automated counting, tracking and identification of animals as they pass through gates or fences on the farm. The implementation of this technology significantly simplifies the process of livestock accounting and makes it more accurate, which is critical for the effective management of our business.
In addition, the COWMAS handheld scanner has also been introduced, which enables rapid identification and counting of groups of animals, as well as the search for individual animals using electronic ear tags. This solution significantly optimizes the herd management process and reduces the time spent on manual operations.
The plans also include the development and implementation of a “control watering point” system, which is installed above drinking bowls or feeders and allows monitoring the cattle attendance at these points throughout the day. This solution facilitates more efficient resource management and helps monitor the health of animals, which in turn increases the overall productivity of the farm.
Participation in the seminar and cooperation with NURIS and COWMAS confirm our commitment to the implementation of modern technologies in the agricultural sector. We are confident that digital transformation will open new horizons for increasing the efficiency and sustainability of our Company.
