Case Study: Mountaire Farms achieves more reliable farm alarms and visibility with BarnTools BarnTalk

Mountaire Farms replaces a $12,000 alarm setup with BarnTools for more reliable farm monitoring

Mountaire Farms, a contract grower for a major poultry producer, faced significant challenges with their outdated Pro-Tech alarm system. Connected via a vulnerable landline, the system was unreliable during power outages caused by storms and lightning strikes, leaving their operations unmonitored and risking livestock loss. The vendor, BarnTools, provided their BarnTalk solution to address these critical failures.

BarnTools implemented the BarnTalk Gateway, a system with built-in rural connectivity that eliminated dependence on landlines. This provided the customer with reliable, real-time alarms and remote visibility into house conditions via a mobile app. The solution prevented costly equipment purchases, offered greater monitoring capabilities than previous alarms, and delivered peace of mind through immediate notifications and detailed data, ultimately helping to protect their valuable assets.
