Petlibro has announced the Granary 2, a new series of smart pet feeders designed to monitor cat consumption using built-in scales and, on higher-end models, an artificial intelligence camera. According to reporting by TechCrunch, the technology is intended to track exact quantities and timing of food intake, specifically targeting households with multiple pets.
Smart Home Integration for Pet Care
The consumer electronics market has increasingly adopted computer vision and sensor technologies to automate household routines and monitor health metrics. Smart feeders represent a hardware expansion for machine learning applications, moving beyond basic automated dispensing schedules into individual animal identification and dietary analytics.
Unknown Pricing and Subscription Details
While the hardware configuration has been revealed, the announcement did not specify exact release dates, regional availability, or the standalone cost of the device. Furthermore, Petlibro has indicated that the advanced health-monitoring capabilities tied to the AI camera will require an additional paid subscription, though the pricing structure for this service remains unstated.
Consumers interested in automated multi-cat feeding solutions will need to wait for further announcements regarding final costs and software subscription tiers.
