Key Advantages of the iTouch for Agricultural Ventilation
Real-time and remote control
The iTouch series provides live access to your farm’s settings and 24/7 control over your entire operation. Through FarmQuest, you can view and adjust ventilation settings from a smartphone or PC, receive alerts, and make informed decisions at any time. You no longer need to be on-site—your farm is constantly monitored.
Centralized multi-function management
More than just a ventilation controller, iTouch handles all aspects of your barn’s climate: air inlets, exhaust fans, chimneys, heating, cooling, humidification, as well as lighting, feeding, and animal water consumption. This integrated approach ensures a stable environment by adjusting all key factors simultaneously (temperature, static pressure, humidity, CO₂…). The result: better animal welfare and optimized performance, whether it’s weight gain, milk production, or feed conversion rates.
Smart automation & energy savings
Using advanced algorithms, the controller automatically adjusts ventilation based on real needs. In summer, it activates tunnel ventilation or misting systems to cool the air, while in winter, it reduces airflow to preserve heat, all without manual input. This fine-tuned regulation prevents waste (ventilating only as needed) and can generate significant energy savings.
Data tracking and alerts
The GENIUS iTouch stores historical data for multiple years, and the data remains your property. Temperatures, ventilation speeds, consumption levels—everything can be analyzed to improve your practices. Reports can be generated for regulatory or health compliance (e.g., PASAF, PSA, COSPOC, AQC inspection forms are already integrated). In the event of a problem (excess temperature, fan failure, etc.), the system triggers a local alarm and can notify you immediately, helping prevent losses through quick response.
Reliability and compatibility
Built specifically for agricultural environments, this controller is rugged (corrosion-resistant casing, protected electronics) and fully compatible with Monitrol’s full line of extensions. It connects to additional slave modules to expand its capabilities (see technical specs) and supports various sensors (temperature, humidity, CO₂, water levels, etc.). It also works seamlessly with the FarmQuest platform via a secure cloud connection and integrates easily into both new and existing installations.
By choosing Monitrol, you benefit from over 30 years of proven expertise in livestock climate control. Learn How to Connect Your Controller to FarmQuest
