The cluck of chickens, the gentle rolling of feeders and the steady hum of ventilation systems fill the air.
Farmers glance at monitors and relax, knowing that AEI’s automation systems are precisely managing temperature, lighting, and feed schedules.
The birds move calmly, water flows evenly, and the environment balances. Behind this smooth operation is AEI, which combines technology, care, and insight to make farms more efficient, animals healthier, and daily work more manageable for farmers.
"Any living species needs air, water and food to survive, including humans. If you create a positive environment with the right food, you ensure a happy life. That is our philosophy. For farmers, it means thriving animals, improved output, and reliable results"says Vijay, president.
AEI leading position in the market is also driven by its egg flow systems, that allow automating and optimizing all egg-related process resulting in increased productivity and profitability for customers, while also minimising egg waste.
Turning Technology into Care
AEI is more than an equipment supplier. With its sister companies specializing in farming controllers as well as software, the company is one of the world’s leading poultry, swine, dairy, and crop storage automation providers. With a combined team of 100 R&D engineers, AEI and its group has built a reputation for marrying cutting-edge technology with practical farm knowledge. Its global reach spans the U.S., Europe, South America, and Asia, making it a trusted partner for farmers across continents.
Whether the farm holds 20,000 birds or more than two million across multiple houses, AEI ensures the environment is optimized every moment of the day.
Ventilation adapts as temperatures shift, feeders distribute precise amounts of food, and lighting changes to match natural rhythms. These systems ensure animals live comfortably, while farmers can focus on strategy rather than constant monitoring.
Custom Solutions from the Ground Up
Every farm is unique, and AEI takes a custom design approach from the beginning. Engineers study the building layout-cages, fans, lighting, feed bins, water lines, electrical and mechanical systems-and design controls tailored to those conditions.
Once developed, the software and hardware undergo rigorous testing inside AEI’s factory, where environments are simulated to mimic real farm conditions. Only after passing strict inspections are the systems shipped and installed, typically three to four weeks before the animals arrive.
At that point, AEI’s team connects all equipment, such as fans, feed lines, bins, electrical panels, and lighting, to its control systems. The setup is then validated point by point, ensuring that the environment is ready for maximum productivity and minimal mortality.
“We want to leave behind not just equipment, but confidence,” Vijay explains. “A happy customer knows their animals are thriving, and their operations are running efficiently.”
Contributing Directly to Long-Term Sustainability
AEI’s advantage lies not only in automation but in data. Its sister company, MTech, uses live performance data across poultry, swine, and dairy operations. Bird weight, feed consumption, mortality rates, and environmental metrics flow directly from the house into AEI’s systems.
The company’s organic integration-where its controls and software work seamlessly without third-party interfaces-creates a unique edge. This integration allows near-real-time monitoring, transforming raw data into actionable insights.

Automated scales track growth, feed sensors optimize distribution, and ventilation systems detect hot and cold spots. Machine learning and AI then process the data, providing farmers practical guidance. Instead of overwhelming dashboards, they receive clear, usable information daily.
One key focus is feed efficiency. With feed accounting for nearly 70 percent of egg production cost, even a slight reduction in waste translates into significant farmer savings. By minimizing waste, improving health, and ensuring consistent growth, AEI directly impacts farm profitability while driving sustainability.
The impact is clear. In one large poultry operation, excessive mortality and feed wastage eroded profitability. Manual inspections failed to pinpoint the cause. After AEI implemented its monitoring and automation systems, real-time data revealed overcrowded areas and uneven feed distribution. Ventilation and lighting were adjusted automatically, while automated scales tracked bird health.
Within weeks, mortality rates declined, feed usage became more efficient, and production climbed. Farmers reported reduced labor costs, predictable operations, and healthier animals. Similar stories repeat across swine and dairy farms worldwide, where AEI and sister companies' systems reduce inefficiencies and stress factors, contributing directly to long-term sustainability.
Preparing Farms for a Digital Future
The agricultural world is racing toward digital transformation, and AEI is leading the way with MTech. With its software and hardware working as a hybrid system, AEI delivers predictive insights, automated alerts, and machine learning-driven recommendations. Farmers need solutions, not streams of data. AEI and sister companies translates millions of data points into clear, farm-ready actions, anticipating needs, preventing issues before they arise, and continually improving operations.
“We are way ahead of the curve in applying AI and machine learning to farming environments,” says Vijay. “No one else is integrating controls and data analytics at this scale.”
For AEI, success is measured not just by performance metrics but by trust. The company sees itself as a long-term partner, not just a vendor. It works alongside farmers year after year, tailoring solutions, updating systems, and helping them adapt to changing conditions.
From poultry houses in the U.S. to swine and dairy operations in Europe and Asia, AEI’s presence reflects both reach and reliability. Its combination of technology, deep industry knowledge, and commitment to customer success sets it apart in an increasingly competitive industry.
Leading with Purpose
From the first light of day to the last, AEI’s systems work quietly in the background, optimizing environments, reducing waste, and turning data into decisions.
The company simplifies complex operations into manageable systems, equipping farmers to meet today’s challenges while preparing for tomorrow’s opportunities.
By blending foresight, care, and innovation, AEI and its sister companies are ensuring more productive and sustainable farming. In a field where details can make all the difference, it gives farmers the confidence to thrive in a digital, data-driven future.
