Global ingredient manufacturer Kemin Industries is introducing the Edie Generation 2, an automated water disinfection applicator for livestock and poultry operations. The applicator will be introduced at PEAK, the Midwest Poultry Federation's annual convention, April 14–16, 2026, in Minneapolis. 

Edie Generation 2 combines automation, real‑time monitoring and system connectivity into a single platform designed to support water disinfection process control and reduce manual intervention.

"Water quality plays a critical role in animal health and operational productivity," said Dillon Mellick, business manager, Kemin Animal Nutrition and Health – North America. "With Edie Generation 2, we are delivering connected intelligence that helps producers manage water disinfection more precisely, more efficiently, and with greater confidence."

The system is designed to monitor and manage water quality parameters directly within the water line, including available chlorine dioxide levels and optional measurements of pH and oxidation‑reduction potential.

Additional system features include:

• Automated data logging of equipment performance, water volume and dosing history
• Mobile app connectivity for remote access and system alerts
• Level sensors to notify personnel of low chemical levels
• An updated, user‑friendly controller with an improved LCD interface
• Multiple layers of system protection to prevent unauthorized changes
• Visual indicators confirming active dosing
• Flexible connectivity options, including Wi‑Fi and cellular compatibility
• Retrofit capability for operations currently using standard Edie systems

Edie Generation 2 is designed to pair with Pro‑Oxine AH, Kemin's stabilized chlorine dioxide disinfectant, supporting automated disinfection of drinking water, premises and equipment without the need for manual mixing.

Attendees of PEAK can visit booth 1547 April 15–16 to see Edie Generation 2 firsthand.
