SMART MANAGEMENT
CONTROL UNIT ERSTA SMART
At the heart of all our systems, we have the ERSTA control unit, which receives data from all sensors. The unit evaluates the data in real-time and modifies system settings based on the results. At the same time, it actively manages individual barn features, like the roll-up curtain sides, skylight roof vent, ventilators, foggers, and lights.
This maintains a balanced barn microclimate throughout the day in any weather while adapting the light cycle to the animals’ current needs.
Welfare cattle farming depends on maintaining an optimal barn microclimate, as animals that feel comfortable physically and mentally are healthier and more productive. Human error is the most common cause of a deteriorating microclimate or light cycle fluctuations.
ERSTA addresses these risks by continuously regulating barn microclimate and lighting to keep all the monitored features in check. You can make any adjustments you need; the 24/7 monitoring means you always have the microclimate and lighting in your hands.
How ERSTA works?
ERSTA unit parameters
1. Advanced sensor system
- The ERSTA control unit is connected to a complex sensor system. The sensors measure humidity, temperature, wind speed, lighting intensity and ammonia and CO2 concentrations.
- They are placed in the barn’s interior and exterior, making the monitoring extremely accurate.
2. Smart management and evaluation
- ERSTA manages system features, including roll-up curtain sides, the skylight roof vent, ventilators, and lights.
- It automatically collects data and analyses the current microclimate status.
3. Flexible management regimes
- Primarily, ERSTA uses an automatic regime that allows it to continuously optimise your barn conditions,
- but you can also manually customise its system.
4. Maintaining a healthy microclimate 24/7
- The system constantly reacts to dynamic microclimate and lighting changes, day and night.
5. Easy interconnection with other barn technologies
- The system is variable, and you can connect other systems, including manure scrappers, pumps, bedding systems, etc.
- These additional technologies also include remote control, tracking and diagnostics.
