Case Study: Cobb-Vantress achieves real-time poultry monitoring and peace of mind with BarnTools BarnTalk

Cobb-Vantress monitors 25,500 birds wirelessly with BarnTools

Cobb-Vantress contract grower Rhett Murphy, a third-generation poultry farmer, needed a better way to monitor his chicken houses. His existing Agri-Alert system required him to be on-site to hear alarms and provided no remote visibility or alarm history, leaving him tied to his property. He sought a next-generation solution from vendor BarnTools to gain real-time, remote monitoring capabilities.

BarnTools implemented its wireless BarnTalk alarm system, which provided multi-carrier connectivity for reliability and a mobile app for remote access. The solution gave Rhett real-time visibility into house temperatures and, crucially, water consumption, allowing him to immediately identify fluctuations and track bird growth. The BarnTools system was less expensive than upgrading his old equipment and provided him with the peace of mind of remote monitoring, freeing him from having to remain on-site.
