Vision AI that sorts poultry in real time.
Sortant builds camera-and-AI machines that detect, sex, and count chicks as they fall — at line speed, with audit-ready accuracy.
The machine
Engineered for the hatchery, built in food-grade stainless.
A compact, wash-down-ready sorting cell — vision, on-device compute, and pneumatic sorting integrated into one stainless-steel frame that drops onto your line.
Food-grade stainless
Sanitary, corrosion-resistant, wash-down construction.
Integrated vision + AI
Camera, lighting, and on-device compute in one enclosure.
Drop-in footprint
Compact cell that fits existing hatchery flow.
What we do
Automated poultry inspection, built for the hatchery floor.
One vision system replaces manual sexing and counting — running continuously, logging every bird, and sorting in milliseconds.
Real-time detection
On-device AI identifies every chick the instant it enters frame — no cloud round-trip, no line slow-down.
Sexing & sorting
Classifies and routes each bird with precision air valves, hitting throughput a manual team can't sustain.
Counting & traceability
Every bird is tallied and logged with confidence scores, giving you an audit-ready record of the whole run.
How it works
From camera to sort in milliseconds.
Capture
A high-speed camera images each bird as it falls past the inspection window.
Detect
On-device AI locates and classifies the bird, with a confidence score per detection.
Sort
Precision air valves divert each bird to the correct lane in a few milliseconds.
Count
A running tally and full event log are written for every bird in the run.
Inside the AI
Watch it read the feather pattern.
Day-old chicks are sexed by the length pattern of their wing feathers. The AI zooms into each wing and fades everything except the detail it uses to make the call — shown here on three real birds, including a tricky reverse-feathering male.
