ChickenBoy (now Cumberland Scout)
Faromatics S.L. (acquired by AGCO, 2021) · Spain
The world's first ceiling-suspended broiler-house robot, from Barcelona-based Faromatics — riding overhead rails to monitor thermal comfort, air quality, light and sound, spotting dead birds, litter problems and equipment faults with AI. Installed across five European countries (ES, NL, DE, plus UK/FR rollouts) before AGCO acquired Faromatics in September 2021; in January 2023 AGCO's Cumberland brand relaunched the technology as 'Scout'. The original ChickenBoy is no longer sold under the Faromatics name.
