This new home will provide us with the resources to take our business to the next level, while leveraging on a shared vision of the future of swine production. IMV Technologies is a natural fit for us with values that we share, a family feeling, and a similar history to ours centred around reproduction innovation."

Ro-Main started as a family business and has grown into a global expert in computer vision and IoT solutions for pig farmers. Over the past decade, Ro-Main has invested in automation and monitoring technologies to support farmers in more efficient, sustainable and animal-friendly pig production.

Alain de Lambilly, CEO of IMV Technologies: "Ro-Main is a great business and we are pleased to welcome Jacquelin and his team into the IMV Technologies family. We have been impressed by Ro-Main’s capacity to providing high-tech, yet down-to-earth and meaningful solutions for pig producers. The combination of their historically strong products such as Contact-O-Max, Hercules’ Arm and No Backdraft, and their more recent artificial-intelligence-powered software and IoT technologies make up for a strong product portfolio for the future development of the company. At IMV, one of our core values is Innovation and we recognise that Ro-Main is committed to transforming the lives of pig producers with their technologies, solutions and multidisciplinary approach.

With the Easi-Scan:Go Lite, a new generation scanner, it is possible to determine gestation at 18 to 19 days (starting from the last insemination day, often the day the sow is double mated). On farms which scan independently, we have found that the majority of users are able to scan reliably at a younger age in only a few weeks time. For people who are interested to learn, the Easi-Scan:Go Lite offers a unique ability to connect up to three screens which allow you to easily follow and monitor the scanning process.  

Work comfort 

The Easi-Scan:Go Lite is connected to an external display via an app. Mostly a mobile phone is used, both Android and iOS devices are possible. Additionally, a tablet can be connected as well. The scanner can also be equipped with goggles called "Bug:Go", which provides increased work comfort. Apart from pregnancy scanning, the Easi-Scan:Go Lite can also be used for body condition scoring by simply adjusting the settings on the phone.   

Specifications 

The Easi-Scan:Go Lite meets the IP67 standard, which means you can easily clean and disinfect it wet. Furthermore, this scanner is supplied with a dual battery charger that allows you to charge two batteries simultaneously, which can also be equipped with a 12V adaper for in-car charging.
