Case Study: LB Pork stems losses with BarnTools real-time barn visibility

LB Pork detects 6-8° barn temperature drops with BarnTools

LB Pork, a fifth-generation pig farming operation, faced the challenge of monitoring its livestock barns in real-time to prevent catastrophic equipment failures. Using outdated alarm systems that only made phone calls without providing data or trends, production manager Lynn Becker struggled to get a full picture of barn conditions. The company needed a modern solution to remotely track temperature, humidity, and water flow to protect animal well-being and stem losses.

The solution was implemented by BarnTools using its BarnTalk system, which provided real-time visibility into barn conditions via a mobile app. This allowed LB Pork to quickly detect and fix a broken barn curtain that was causing a dangerous temperature drop, preventing potential animal loss. The BarnTools system streamlined their monitoring, enhanced decision-making for long-term planning, and eliminated the high costs associated with maintaining their previous wired alarm system.
