New Partnership Brings Real-Time Electrical Monitoring to Dairy Farms, Preventing Faults and Fires

Agrivolt and Fisher & Thompson Expand Partnership to Enhance Dairy Farm Safety and Productivity

SYRACUSE, NY, UNITED STATES, December 3, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Over the past decade, farms have undergone significant advancements in electrical infrastructure, transitioning from older, sometimes unreliable networks to systems designed to support larger electrical loads. With the adoption of rotary parlors, heavy-duty equipment, and expanded livestock operations, modern farms require more power than ever before. This increased demand, however, heightens the risk of electrical instability, which can adversely impact both animal welfare and operational efficiency.

To address these challenges, PrevTech, Agrivolt’s sister company specializing in electrical network monitoring and fire prevention, has joined the longstanding partnership between Agrivolt and Fisher & Thompson. This enhanced collaboration aims to provide farmers with a real-time electrical monitoring solution that detects faults and anomalies, proactively preventing issues that could lead to operational disruptions or even electrical fires. PrevTech’s services are delivered by a team of experts who work closely with clients, guiding them through the diagnostic and risk mitigation process.

“We have proudly collaborated with Fisher & Thompson for over 15 years, working hand-in-hand to help dairy farmers control stray voltage and optimize farm operations. This partnership combines Agrivolt’s expertise in electrical network monitoring with Fisher & Thompson’s leadership in dairy equipment innovation, ensuring enhanced animal comfort, safety, and productivity across farms in the Eastern U.S.,” said Pierre-André Meunier, President of Agrivolt and PrevTech. “The addition of PrevTech to this relationship reinforces our commitment to providing a comprehensive solution that addresses all aspects of electrical safety.”

“Our enduring relationship with Agrivolt has been a cornerstone in supporting the needs of our dairy farm clients,” said Josh Bare, General Manager at Fisher & Thompson. “With the addition of PrevTech’s electrical monitoring solutions, we are confident that this partnership will empower the more than 4,000 farms we serve to take a more proactive and corrective approach to electrical safety. Together, we are driving innovation and ensuring safer, more efficient operations for dairy farms across the Eastern U.S.”
