CowScout – Smart dairy herd monitoring
Monitor cow health, detect heat and improve herd performance with real-time behavioral data and intelligent insights.
You manage more than a herd.
You manage a future.
Managing a modern dairy operation means handling complex, fast-moving data every day.
Small behavioral changes – a drop in rumination, a delayed heat, subtle inactivity – can quickly impact reproduction, health and overall performance.
CowScout helps you stay on top of it – turning continuous herd data into clear, structured insight.
You lead.
Data supports.
Performance follows.
From visibility to control.
CowScout continuously monitors key behavioral parameters such as activity, rumination and eating behavior.
By analyzing this data in real time, the system highlights what requires attention — helping you act earlier and more precisely.
Heat detection and health monitoring for better herd performance
Reproduction
Accurate heat detection for optimal insemination timing
Missing a heat or inseminating too early directly impacts reproduction performance and farm efficiency.
CowScout detects heat based on real-time behavioral data and helps you identify the optimal time for insemination.
- Reliable heat detection
- Optimal insemination timing
- Early identification of irregular cycles
- Reduced manual observation
Health
Early detection through behavioral monitoring
Small behavioral changes are often the first signs of health issues.
CowScout monitors rumination, eating and activity patterns to detect deviations early and support timely intervention.
- Early detection of health issues
- Monitoring of rumination and eating behavior
- Faster response to deviations
- Improved herd stability

Shifts in food packaging: 4 trends
Thermoforming has long played a central role in food packaging. Now it is facing a major shift. As regulations tighten, materials evolve and costs rise, form fill seal lines must do more than run reliably – they now shape how food stays fresh, affordable and recyclable. Take a look at the key thermoforming trends informing the food packaging and delivery landscape.
Fruit storage at Betko: Control from peak harvest to global delivery
From the orchards of the Cape to store shelves across 40 countries, the South African packhouse Betko has built a business on freshness, timing and reliability. With GEA’s controlled atmosphere refrigeration technology, the company can now store apples and pears for up to 14 months and cut energy consumption by 20%, with a partnership of more than 30 years at the heart of it all.
