DairyTech 2026 – Key Takeaways

Earlier this month, we attended Dairy Tech 2026!

Stoneleigh Park was buzzing, and the Smartbell team is back in the office feeling inspired by the forward-thinking conversations we had with farmers, vets, and industry innovators.

Our stand was a hub of activity as we demonstrated the WellCalf system, sharing how 24/7 temperature and activity monitoring can transform youngstock management for farmers. Whether we were discussing how to spot pneumonia and scours earlier, or sharing the first look at our upcoming HealTHI heat and cold stress monitoring tools, it was a wonderful opportunity to talk face to face with so many people who share our passions for technology, innovation and animal welfare.

A highlight of the event was the opportunity to connect with key industry partners. We are excited to work closely with our new and existing connections in the future, exploring how shared expertise and collaborations, combined with smart-sensor data and our easy to use app can help farmers raise healthier, more productive herds.

As we pack away the banners and the last of the free pens, we are looking ahead to an incredibly exciting year. We are looking ahead to new projects and collaborations on the horizon, and we are more committed than ever to helping farmers provide the best possible care for their youngstock, reducing antibiotic use, improving growth rates, and boosting profits!
