Barn Owl Wireless is a modular multi-sensor monitoring and automatic ventilation control system. The flexibility of the system makes it ideally suited to potato store monitoring in all sizes and types of store.
Key Features
How Barn Owl Wireless works
Wireless radio transmitters are attached to flexible crop sensors in boxed or bulk stored potatoes. Temperature data is transmitted by SIM card to the internet and can be accessed from any location. Automatic fan controllers give independent control of each ventilating fan using a range of programmes, providing significant energy cost savings.
Barn Owl Wireless step by step
1. Temperature data in the potato store is sent to the gateway
2. Data is sent to the cloud via the GSM network
3. Data on the webpage is accessed via the Internet
4. Fan controls are selected on the webpage
5. Fan controls are sent to the gateway
6. Fan controls are sent to fan controllers to turn on/off extraction fans
