Clean sweep for Kilkenny at Dairy Innovation Awards

Led by CEO Colin Barry, the company captured three major accolades, highlighting its status as one of the country's most exciting new AgTech pioneers.

Udder Logic took home the Engineering Innovation Award 2026, the Best New Start-Up Innovation Award 2026, and ultimately secured the premier title of the night: the Overall Innovation Award 2026.

The highly competitive awards celebrate new products and services launched within the last 12 months that make a tangible, positive impact on Irish dairy farms.

Udder Logic & ADF Milking Systems wowed the expert judging panel with its groundbreaking Automatic Dipping and Flushing System, designed to drastically improve efficiency, hygiene, and labor requirements in the milking parlor.

Speaking after the ceremony at the Green Glens Arena, CEO, Colin Barry expressed his pride in bringing these national titles back to Kilkenny: “Winning one national award is a massive honour, but taking home three—including the Overall Innovation title—is an incredible validation of our hard work,” said Colin.

“Our goal has always been to build practical engineering solutions that ease the daily pressures on Irish dairy farmers. To have the industry recognize our technology on this national stage in Millstreet is a testament to the talent and dedication of our entire Kilkenny-based team.”

The FBD National Dairy Show is Ireland's largest specialized dairy trade event. Its innovation showcase highlights the absolute cutting edge of the agricultural sector, cementing Udder Logic's & ADF Milking system breakthrough as a major win for Kilkenny's growing technology and engineering footprint.

Following this triumphant weekend, Udder Logic plans to scale its operations to meet high farmer demand across the region and country.
