Amazing how we have gone from a service built to support our own farms in 2014 to a global solution using artificial intelligence to enhance the management of poultry and pig farms 24/7, still no one can do what @Optifarm does #PLF #poultry #pigs youtu.be/6rjcWwWM5Io

#Farmers, Processors, and Integrators are becoming more proficient at #data capture, but the true value is generated with the discovery of the WHY. Going from Perception to Knowledge. This is the only way to determine why things are occurring. What story is your data telling?

We often hear that too many digital/tech solutions start with their tech and go backwards convincing its needed & justified. @OPTIFarm starts with the clients problems as stated by them then builds the service #dontassume #wantversusneed
Great week visiting integrators, hardware & software providers and farmers in the USA, been discussing @OPTIFarm remotely supporting technicians, farm performance, farm staff, technology deployment & biosecurity concerns #uniqueservice #digitalfarming
