Per a press release dated Dec. 6, Siemens announced a collaboration with 80 Acres Farms.
Through an undisclosed initial investment, "the two entities have partnered to apply innovative technology within the agriculture industry — fostering sustainable, healthy, traceable, and more productive farming practice." Siemens will also provide 80 Acres with software and hardware solutions that span "intelligent facility and energy management systems."
80 Acres has five production farms in southwestern Ohio and a new facility in Florence, Kentucky. The company is also planning a future farm in Covington, Georgia. They also have R&D facilities in Arkansas and the Netherlands.
"Infinite Acres has built the Loop platform through collaboration with best-in-class technology partners such as Priva, Ocado, and Signify. Our new partnership with Siemens takes our collaboration and technology platform to a new level through the 360° approach across software and connected hardware solutions — from digital twins to advanced controls," says Tisha Livingston, co-founder of 80 Acres Farms and CEO of Infinite Acres.
