A BARN OF THE FUTURE, OR A SMART BARN?

How smart is your barn? It’s an honest question, bear with us.

We’ve heard all the talk about ‘smart homes’ for a few years now, but we haven’t addressed the smart barn idea.

A legacy controller, for instance, may be seen as a limiting factor for advanced technology in the barn when in fact, it’s a great jumping off point. Once you add the DataPro by Cortex Agritechnology, the legacy controller is brought online with an easy to read dashboard, remote monitoring, custom alarms, and the ability to integrate more aspects of the barn into the system.

Your fridges for example - you know they need to keep within a specific temperature range, but are you certain they’re consistent, or the door hasn’t been left open a time or two? Consider the total value of the semen in your fridge, or the cycle delay if all were to fall outside that temperature range rendering the doses useless. Adding a sensor that is connected to the DataPro will give you immediate access to temperature monitoring and alerting from anywhere in the world.

Cortex Agritechnology is a member of the AgriHub Family of Companies, focused on integrating, delivering, and managing innovative products born of the day-to-day challenges producers experience. With decades of experience in agriculture, engineering and production, Cortex Agritechnology is a farmer founded company.

It doesn’t stop there, either.

Ventilation? Yes ma’am, we’ve got you. Doors? Those too. Lights? Better believe it.

Fire prevention? Absolutely, tell your insurance broker!

Collect data from anywhere you can install a sensor in your barns, across any system, throughout multiple buildings and view it in one, streamlined place. The DataPro by Cortex Agritechnology is compatible with systems such as Phason, Cumberland, EBX, feedlines, manure scrapers or pumps, biosecurity systems and more. Simply connect your legacy controller to the DataPro by installing a single wire.

Backed by the AgriHub family of companies, the DataPro has a wide network of service and support personnel to answer any questions you may have, like assistance in adding new sensors, deciphering data and more.
