Kemin Industries Introduces EDIE™ Generation 2 Application System

Kemin Industries, a prominent global ingredient manufacturer, has launched its latest innovation—the EDIE™ Generation 2 Application System. Scheduled for debut at the upcoming PEAK event, hosted by the Midwest Poultry Federation in Minneapolis from April 14 to 16, 2026, this advanced system aims to revolutionize water disinfection processes for livestock and poultry operations across the U.S.

Advancements in Water Disinfection Technology

The EDIE Generation 2 system marks a significant leap in fully integrated water-management technologies. By amalgamating intelligent automation, real-time monitoring, and enhanced system connectivity, this system is engineered to provide precise control over water disinfection while diminishing the need for manual intervention. Dillon Mellick, Business Manager at Kemin Animal Nutrition and Health - North America stated, "Water quality plays a critical role in animal health and operational productivity. With EDIE Generation 2, we are delivering connected intelligence that helps producers manage water disinfection more precisely, more efficiently, and with greater confidence."

Key Features of EDIE Generation 2

The newly designed system boasts several features intended to facilitate comprehensive water quality management.

• - Automated Data Logging: It features automated logging to track equipment performance, water volume, and dosing history, thus creating a more organized record of water management efforts.
• - Mobile Connectivity: Users can access system alerts and controls remotely via a mobile app, enhancing convenience and responsiveness.
• - Safety Measures: The system includes level sensors that notify personnel of low chemical levels, an advanced LCD interface, and multiple layers of protection against unauthorized changes.
• - Visual Indicators: Clear visual indicators are embedded to confirm active dosing, ensuring the operators are constantly informed of system status.
• - Flexible Connectivity Options: It accommodates Wi-Fi and cellular compatibility, making it adaptable to various operational environments.
• - Retrofitting Capability: The EDIE Generation 2 is designed to easily retrofit into existing systems, providing accessibility to operations currently utilizing standard EDIE systems.

Synergy with Kemin's PRO-OXINE® AH

To maximize its effectiveness, the EDIE Generation 2 system pairs seamlessly with Kemin’s PRO-OXINE® AH, a specialized stabilized chlorine dioxide disinfectant. This combination guarantees a reliable, automated application process, eliminating the need for manual mixing while supporting efficient disinfection of drinking water, premises, and equipment. Kemin’s comprehensive approach solidifies its commitment to tackling biosecurity and water hygiene challenges inherent in animal operations.

Attendees at PEAK are encouraged to visit Booth 1547 between April 15-16 to gain firsthand insights into the workings of EDIE Generation 2 and how connected water management technologies can optimize disinfection programs and enhance biosecurity efforts on farms.
