At Omegga, we revolutionize spectroscopy use by combining it with artificial intelligence. We offer data-driven spectral insights for broad applications - cheaper, more accurate and in real time. Starting with animals - specifically poultry - but aiming far beyond. Our first proven application is to solve the big problem that male baby chicks are killed after hatching. We detect the sex of chicken embryos in the egg just by shining light through eggs and analysing sex-specific patterns via AI. Our approach is non-invasive, early and cost-effective.
