Dairy farmers of the future: How Smaxtec revolutionizes the industry!

Steiermark, Österreich - The Styrian company Smaxtec, once a start-up, has developed into a leading provider of technology solutions for the milk industry in the past few decades and a half. The focus is on an innovative sensor that delivers real-time data and is integrated into a AI-based analysis tool. With this technology, farmers can recognize diseases at an early stage, monitor the fertility of their cows and reduce birth -related complications. The investment companies KKR and Highland Europe recently acquired the majority shares in Smaxtec. The exact investment volume remains secret, but the capital should be used in particular for product innovations and international growth, as was reported on steiermark.Ork.at

already 500,000 animals worldwide, especially in the roof countries and in the USA, New Zealand, and several European countries, use Smaxtec technologies. CEO Stefan Scherer emphasizes that the innovative solution not only improves animal welfare and reduces greenhouse gas emissions, but also increases the income of farmers. The company currently employs around 200 employees and is supported by the Styrian business development agency SFG, which simplifies the more distinctive entry into new markets, such as New Zealand.

The concept of disruptive innovation, which is becoming increasingly important in the start-up world, plays a central role in the development of technology solutions such as Smaxtec. Disruptive innovation describes how new technologies replace existing products or services. Examples of this are smartphones that have displaced conventional mobile phones, and streaming services that replace traditional video stores. These new approaches offer start-ups the opportunity to stand out from the competition through innovative solutions and to conquer new market shares. According to Startup-insider.com , however, start-ups should always follow a clear strategy in order to cope with the risks and challenges associated with the introduction of new technologies.
