Seconds to a crush, not morning rounds

Farrowing Crate Crush Watch

Research concept for sow-roll and distress patterns; not a crush detector or animal-safety alarm.

Readiness Research concept

A frontier proposal with a validation plan, not an implemented detector.

Evidence Frontier Unvalidated concept

An early research proposal with no capability-specific product validation yet.

Runtime family Not mapped

No browser runtime is assigned to this capability yet.

Why live sensing is unavailable

This is a research concept, not an implemented detector. Show its physics and validation plan without generating synthetic claims.

Intended capability

Research whether the field could support this proposed outcome: Detects a sow's sudden flop or roll in the farrowing crate and the sustained piglet distress calls that follow, alarming within seconds of a likely crush event — the largest single cause of pre-wean piglet mortality.

This describes the intended outcome. Readiness is research concept, evidence is class C, and a catalog mapping or recording is not proof of this outcome at a real site.

Bundled recording

A related Agriculture scene

This is one recorded vertical scenario. It is not separate validation of every capability in the catalog.

01 The physics

A crate-aimed LD2410C at under 2 m sees the sow as its single composite target — confinement makes the one-target limit a feature — and a flop is a large, fast radial-motion burst unlike slow postural shifts. The XIAO Sense PDM microphone detects the loud band-limited squeal transients that follow a crush. Discriminating a hazardous flop from ordinary lying-down rests on the acoustic confirm, and that classifier is untrained on-farm — hence frontier class.

02 Shared processing path

LD2410 motion-burst detector at crate range -> acoustic transient gate (PDM band energy) -> sustained-distress confirm window -> crush alarm + bounded posture snapshot for triage

This is a capability design path. Components may be shared with other catalog entries; it is not presented as a unique algorithm.

03 Validation plan

Instrumented farrowing rooms with video ground truth: label flop events and crush outcomes across a full farrowing cycle; train and validate the squeal-band confirm; report alarm precision and seconds-to-alarm before any farm ships.

04 Commercial hypothesis

'Seconds to a crush, not morning rounds' — for pork producers attacking pre-wean mortality in the crate.
