Munters, a global leader in technologies that optimize climates, has acquired Optifarm, a UK-based provider of AI-driven livestock monitoring solutions. The acquisition strengthens the offering of operational intelligence solutions from Speria, the commercial brand for Munters FoodTech business area.
Optifarm's technology analyzes real-time animal behavior and environmental signals, such as water consumption patterns, to detect early signs of health deviations. These insights are translated into actionable insights that can be integrated into Speria's connected solutions of hardware, software and expert services.
"With Optifarm, we strengthen how animal health intelligence is embedded into mission-critical operations," says Pia Brantgärde Linder, President of FoodTech and GVP of Munters Group. "Their expertise in translating real-time animal signals into decisions supports how we connect data, software with controllers to generate impact. This is a key step in building more predictive and autonomous operations over time."
Founded in 2014 and based in Chesterfield, UK, Optifarm has 14 employees and customers in 18 countries across Europe, the Middle East and Africa. The company has transitioned from a broiler farming service provider to focusing on AI-driven farm insights, and now operates in an early growth phase.
