Revenue model
- Hardware Sales (One-time Purchase): Sells collar-type sensors with a one-time upfront payment of KRW 12 million for a minimum of 20 units (KRW 600,000 per unit). No monthly subscription fee. Suitable for farms preferring capital expenditure over recurring costs.
- Hardware + Subscription (Subscription Model): Sells sensor hardware with a lower initial cost (KRW 2.7 million) followed by monthly subscription fees of KRW 180,000 per unit over 60 months for a minimum of 30 units (KRW 90,000 per unit per month). This recurring revenue model provides predictable income and maintains ongoing customer relationship.
- Platform & Data Services: Expanding from individual farm monitoring to a central monitoring-based livestock platform connecting multiple farms and hundreds of thousands of animals, creating potential data monetization opportunities in distribution, feed, animal pharmaceutical industries, and sustainability metrics.

Bodit product offering
Product offeringCore offering
Bodit develops and sells 'Farmer's Hands' (팜민손), a smart livestock monitoring solution combining AI-powered collar-worn sensors with a companion mobile application that automatically monitors cattle 24/7 to detect early disease symptoms (especially in calves) and identify optimal breeding windows. The system analyzes micro-signals including coughing, rumination, activity, mounting, and feeding patterns, leveraging AI behavior analysis technology originally derived from ECG wearable medical device R&D. The solution is sold primarily to cattle farms, livestock cooperatives, government programs, and international development organizations across 10 countries.
Product overview
Bodit offers the Farmer's Hands (파머스할즈) smart livestock management solution, consisting of a collar-type wearable sensor device, a mobile application for monitoring and notifications, and specialized management modules for health monitoring (focused on calf disease detection) and breeding management (estrus detection). The system uses AI-based behavioral signal analysis to provide 24-hour automated monitoring, anomaly detection, and actionable alerts. Farmers can purchase sensors via one-time payment (60만원 per unit, minimum 20 units) or subscription model (approximately 1만원/month per unit, minimum 30 units).

Products and services
- Farmer's Hands (팜민손) Smart Livestock Monitoring Solution End-to-end AI-powered livestock monitoring solution for cattle farms, livestock cooperatives, government programs, and international development organizations. Combines collar-worn sensors with a mobile application to deliver 24/7 automated monitoring of cattle behavior, detecting early disease symptoms (especially in calves) and identifying optimal breeding windows through analysis of coughing, rumination, activity, mounting, and feeding patterns. Marketed as a domestic Korean alternative to overseas livestock monitoring solutions.
- Farmer's Hands Collar Sensor Collar-type wearable sensor hardware that attaches to cattle and continuously collects micro-signals (coughing, rumination, activity, mounting, feeding). Supports multi-animal sensor sharing to lower cost per animal. The physical sensor unit is the primary hardware product sold.
- Farmer's Hands Mobile Application Mobile application that delivers AI behavior analysis results from the collar sensor to farmers, providing alerts on early disease symptoms and optimal breeding windows. Enables 24/7 automated monitoring, replacing manual observation typically limited to 2-3 checks per day.

Bodit competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Afimilk: Israeli dairy cow monitoring specialist offering cow activity, rumination, and heat-detection sensors plus farm management software. Directly comparable to Farmer's Hands in cattle behavioral monitoring, health/heat detection use cases, and AI-driven analytics for dairy and beef farmers.
- Dairymaster (MooMonitor+): Irish dairy equipment manufacturer offering MooMonitor+ health and fertility monitoring collars and tags. Direct competitor in cow-side wearable monitoring with integrated dairy parlor hardware; bundles hardware plus software similar to Farmer's Hands' value proposition.
- CowManager: Dutch ear-tag sensor provider focused on dairy and beef cattle monitoring, using AI for fertility, health, and nutrition insights. Comparable product category, AI-based behavioral analysis, and SaaS subscription model—directly competing with Farmer's Hands' monitoring and breeding modules.
- smaXtec: Austrian company offering intraruminal bolus sensors for dairy cows, providing health monitoring and heat detection via internal sensors rather than collars. Comparable AI-driven health and breeding analytics targeting commercial dairy farms; differentiated sensor form factor but directly overlaps on data services.
Emerging players
- Moonsyst: Emerging livestock monitoring company offering rumination, activity, and temperature monitoring using ear-tag or collar sensors with AI analytics. Comparable target customer (commercial cattle farmers), use cases (health and heat detection), and subscription model to Farmer's Hands.
- Cainthus (Cargill): Computer-vision livestock monitoring company acquired by Cargill, using camera-based AI for cattle behavior analysis rather than wearables. Comparable AI-behavioral analytics goal but non-overlapping sensor approach; representative of the broader category Bodit competes in.
Broad incumbents
- BouMatic: Global dairy equipment and milking systems provider expanding into cow monitoring and farm management software. Larger incumbent offering broader dairy infrastructure plus attached monitoring; partial overlap with Farmer's Hands on herd analytics.
- Lely: Dutch dairy robotics and farm management company offering milking robots, feeding systems, and cow monitoring. Large incumbent with global dealer network; partial overlap with Farmer's Hands on health monitoring but with far broader hardware-and-software dairy suite.
- Allflex Livestock Intelligence (MSD Animal Health): Global leader in livestock identification and monitoring, owned by MSD Animal Health. Offers ear-tag sensors, monitoring collars, and integrated herd management software for dairy and beef operations. Directly competes with Farmer's Hands on cattle monitoring and is far larger in scale, distribution, and partner network.
- DeLaval: Swedish multinational offering milking systems, herd management software, and dairy farm automation. Competes indirectly on herd management and analytics; broader portfolio spans parlor equipment while Farmer's Hands is pure-play monitoring.
