Curiosity turns
into novelty
The idea for smaXtec was already born in 2006 out of the curiosity of two technicians, who came across a problem in dairy farming: Rumen pH values are highly valuable for research and improvement of dairy farming but can only be measured laboriously and in few animals. Our founders Stefan Rosenkranz and Mario Fallast quickly realised that there must be a better solution. And they started to develop sensors continuously measuring data inside the rumen as pioneers – and, with success!
From research
to progress
Founded in 2009 as a research project, smaXtec is the world market leader in its field today. Because we realised that the rumen is not only perfectly suitable to measure rumen pH values, but also to collect further unique and valuable data for farmers, such as inner body temperatur or activity.
From dairy cow
to the market
In 2016, the commercial marketing of the products started, paving the way for the most comprehensive health monitoring for dairy farms of all sizes. But this was just the beginning of our success story.
Out of the cow
into the cloud
With the introduction of smaXtec TruRumi™ TECHNOLOGY in 2020, we were able to add an additional parameter to our unique cow understanding system – rumination. Thanks to the direct measurement inside the reticulum, the system guarantees unrivalled precision and allows for even better decision in health and feeding as well as in oestrus and calving, setting a new standard in early detection, supported by the smaXtec TruD™ cloud technology.
Internationalisation
& Growth
With the aim of bringing positive change to the dairy industry in the long term and further expanding the company's technological lead, Stefan Scherer took over the management together with founder Stefan Rosenkranz at the beginning of 2020. Despite the global impact of the covid pandemic, smaXtec is continuously expanding the team and opening up new direct markets with its own subsidiaries, such as in Germany, Ireland, the UK and the USA.
What does smaXtec mean?
smaXtec is composed of the words SMART and TECHNOLOGY. The X stands for the crossover of two disciplines, the basis of our success, – and is therefore always capitalised.
