Everything you want to know about ImpactFarmView
ImpactFarmView is a water monitoring system for pig farmers, which gives you accurate insight into water intake, even in combination with feed intake. ImpactFarmView allows you to accurately monitor the water consumption of your pigs, which is crucial for both animal health and optimal farm management. ImpactFarmView combines smart Impact Flowmeters with an advanced data platform.
ImpactFarmView receives data from smart Impact Flowmeters. These are connected to the water supply in each section of your pigsty. The data from the smart Impact Flowmeter is sent to your dashboard by means of a LoRaWAN gateway. This allows you to receive data on the water intake of your pigs at any time of the day. If you enter the required information regarding your pigs, water intake and possibly feed intake, you will have even more insight. And you will receive direct notifications of deviations 24/7.
In modern pig farming, everything revolves around the health and well-being of your pigs. Research shows that the right water intake is of great influence. Water intake is directly related to feed consumption and the health of pigs. Our smart drinking water solution allows you to accurately monitor the water consumption of your pigs, which is crucial for both the health of the animals and for optimal farm management. This results in:
- Healthy Animals – Early Detection of Health Problems
- Improved animal performance – Healthy optimal growth of the animals
- Happy Veterinarian – Insight into the effect of medication/vaccination
- Efficient business operations – Optimizing the business process
ImpactFarmView gives you quick insight into the water consumption of your pigs. It is super simple. Depending on your wishes, you install a smart flow meter in each stable or department. We have linked this flow meter to your own data portal in advance. You can get started immediately after installation.
24/7 insight
Our flow meter sends real-time information to your own data portal. This gives you insight into the water consumption of your pigs. This way you are always aware of their water intake and therefore their health. This not only helps you to optimize your company, but also to comply with welfare standards and regulations.
Improved feeding strategy
Monitor water consumption in real time and adjust your feeding strategy accordingly. This data helps you to adjust feeding curves and analyze pig behavior patterns.
Problem Alert
The handy alarm function warns you of deviations, allowing you to respond quickly to potential problems. This alert is super simple to use. Think of it as a traffic light:
- Green: everything is fine
- Orange: pay attention, something might be wrong
- Red: panic
Work optimally
together with a veterinarian The veterinarian plays an important role when it comes to the health (monitoring) of animals. If you want, you can share the data from the data portal with your veterinarian. This enables you to analyze the influence of medication and vaccinations on the drinking behavior of your pigs. Together with your veterinarian, you can recognize patterns and better understand what is going on with health problems. The Smart Flowmeter thus becomes a tool in making more accurate diagnoses and providing better care.
Leaks and hygiene management
Our data portal can also provide insight into water consumption for cleaning. It is often forgotten that the amount of water used for cleaning affects manure production. The amount of water that runs off due to a possible leak is also a problem. Gaining insight into water consumption and reducing it can therefore be of great importance.
Demonstrating the offering of water
You want to be able to demonstrate at all times that your pigs are offered water. Especially in the event of an unexpected visit from IKB or NVWA. By using Smart Flowmeters you can guarantee the water intake of your pigs.
At the moment there are no good alternatives to ImpactFarmView. ImpactFarmView is a unique water monitoring system, which uses smart water meters. This allows you to get information about water consumption at any time of the day, at any location.
A flowmeter is an instrument used to measure, regulate or control the flow of fluid. With a flowmeter you can measure the amount of water, for example. It then measures the amount of water that flows through a pipe in a certain time, this is also called flow rate.
An Impact Flowmeter is specially developed to measure accurately. With the smart Impact Flowmeter from Impact Smart Solutions you have complete control over your water consumption. With the help of this advanced technology you always have insight into your water consumption, so you can work efficiently and save on your water bill. This intelligent sensor is not only limited to the volume, but can also detect the status of the water flow. This allows it to sound the alarm and prevent waste, such as broken water pipes. This smart flowmeter is therefore ideal for signaling leaks and promoting efficient water management in pig farming.
To measure the water consumption in your stables, it is important to install Impact Flowmeters. Without these flowmeters, you cannot obtain data on water consumption. It depends on your wishes and your company how many Impact Flowmeters you need. We are happy to advise you on how many Impact Flowmeters you need.
It depends on your wishes and your company how many Impact Flowmeters you need. We are happy to advise you on how many Impact Flowmeters you need. We recommend attaching an Impact Flowmeter to the water pipe in each section of your pigsty. This provides the most accurate insight. By giving us information about your company, we can find a good solution for your pigsty together.
A LoRaWAN gateway is a powerful device that acts as a bridge between wireless IoT devices and the internet. It uses LoRaWAN technology to connect wireless devices over long distances to a central network, resulting in extended range and low power consumption. A LoRaWAN gateway provides a private environment with minimal risk of interference.
We have two types of LoRaWAN Gateways for pig farmers. One with a small antenna and one with a large antenna. The small LoRaWAN antenna has a small range. This is good for situations where the Impact Flowmeters are in a central hall, close to each other. The large LoRaWAN antenna has a larger range, perfect if you have Impact Flowmeters in multiple stables.
You need a LoRaWAN Gateway to create a private environment. It receives the data from all Impact Flowmeters and then sends it to the data platform.
In some cases, a KPN network is chosen instead of a LoRaWAN Gateway. The KPN network is a reliable public network, but can be sensitive to external factors. We always look at the possibilities and the best option for your company together with you.
