Case Study: Perdue prevents extreme cold losses with BarnTools

Perdue protects hog barns from -20°F cold with BarnTools

The customer, Perdue grower Jack Spreen, faced the challenge of managing climate control across multiple hog and turkey barns without remote visibility. His old Agri-Alert system made it impossible to monitor temperatures or adjust settings unless he was physically inside a barn, which posed a significant risk during extreme weather events. To address this, he implemented BarnTools' BarnTalk monitoring solution.

BarnTools' BarnTalk system provided remote monitoring capabilities via a smartphone, allowing for immediate low-temperature alarms. This enabled the customer to respond to a critical failure, a fallen barn curtain during a drastic freeze, in time to prevent losses. The vendor's solution also improved daily operational efficiency and enhanced biosecurity by minimizing unnecessary physical visits to the barns.
