SWOT matrix of PLF in swine production—strengths and weaknesses.

Strengths	Weaknesses
Integration of advanced technologies such as IoT, neural networks, and RGB cameras that increase precision in animal monitoring and identification [50,52].	Challenges in validating positive animal welfare indicators, such as affective states, limiting the full effectiveness of the technologies [57,67].
Significant contribution to more ethical and sustainable practices, aligned with consumer and societal expectations [20,73].	Resistance from producers to adopt technologies due to high initial costs and perceived operational complexity [20,64].
Increased production efficiency through real-time monitoring and automation of processes [105,107].	Dependence on large volumes of data and the need for advanced technological infrastructure, which may be inaccessible to small producers [101].
Improved animal welfare through systems that detect ab-normal behaviors and track health status [59,93].	Lack of standardized metrics for assessing animal welfare and limited acceptance by producers [76].
