The Niksen Group of Companies has developed a fully automated chick carrier on a KamAZ-65115 chassis. The vehicle is designed for transporting day-old chicks and hatching eggs — a process where the safety of the livestock directly affects the company's profits, according to the company.
The KamAZ-65115 chassis was chosen as the basis for the special equipment due to its off-road capability, maintainability, and suitability for Russian roads. The main feature is the original Niksen software, which fully automates the operation of the insulated van. The system autonomously maintains the microclimate, monitors the condition of the cargo in real-time, and minimizes the influence of the human factor.
The chick carrier is equipped with an automatic carbon dioxide level control function. The electronics instantly respond to deviations, adjusting ventilation, which is especially important for the survival of the birds on long journeys.
The assembly used components from global manufacturers: electronics and sensors from Japan, climate control systems from Germany, and insulation materials from Italy. The chassis and power structure are Russian.
The developers call the vehicle a "mobile incubator-terminal" and claim that there are currently no analogues in Russia in terms of the depth of automation and quality.
