About Us
We3 AI is an Australian company specialising in the application of artificial intelligence (AI) and computer vision solutions for agriculture and food systems.
Established to bridge the gap between cutting-edge AI research and practical implementation in livestock management, We3 AI is focused on developing scalable, field-ready technologies that improve productivity, sustainability, and animal welfare.
Our mission is to leverage AI-enabled monitoring to solve long-standing challenges in livestock industries such as health detection, animal identification, counting, and weight assessment.
We3 AI was founded on the unique collaboration of renowned experts Ben van Delden, Piers Hogarth-Scott, and Professor Phil Bolton - leaders in artificial intelligence, agrifood innovation, and data-driven livestock management.
