What Soldier Fly Technologies does

Soldier Fly Technologies, Inc. is a privately held Louisiana-incorporated subsidiary of Fluker Farms (a third-generation insect company) that develops and licenses scalable Black Soldier Fly (BSF) farming systems. The company's core product is a vertically stackable, modular farming system built around everyday off-the-shelf farm equipment, comprising a patented Breeding Module (over 700g of BSF eggs per square meter of breeding space per month in a 32 ft clearance warehouse) and a Larvae Rearing System (over 741 kg of live BSF larvae per square meter of rearing space per month). The offering is wrapped with Entoware, an internally developed AI and KPI-tracking software that monitors process metrics and adjusts production parameters, plus a staged Bolt-On Off-the-Shelf (BOOTS) Automation framework spanning manual forklifts through autonomous forklifts, washing lines, and high-speed counting (via the Perfect Count system co-developed with Sciotex).

The company monetizes primarily through technology licensing of its patented BSF farming system, bundled with equipment sales, consulting and feed-trial services, and the Soldier Fly Academy training platform (available in English and Spanish). It augments direct enterprise licensing with the System Implementer Program, a channel partner motion offering consultants 20% on initial license/equipment fees and 10% ongoing on consulting and support. Its target segments include insect farmers and agricultural operations (primary), distillery and food processing facilities seeking organic-waste bio-conversion, and consultants reselling turnkey BSF solutions. The company self-reports being the USA's largest supplier of live BSF larvae and maintains partnerships with LSU (research collaboration) and Sciotex (counting technology), with operating geographies spanning North America, Latin America (Mexico), and Asia Pacific (Singapore).
