VERSATILE AND INTUITIVE

EDGE® is a single platform that handles all control applications including breeding, gestation, farrowing, nursery and finishing. Its unique design makes EDGE the only controller on the market that can be configured to match your operation’s specific requirements and is flexible enough to be adapted to new or existing systems.

FEATURES

Modular Architecture / Full Redundancy

Whether running a large operation with dozens of sites or a small facility with one or two buildings, EDGE's modular architecture adapts to your exact needs. The appropriate number of inputs and outputs is easily determined, and it becomes more economical as the operation expands. Redundant power supplies and communication paths provide uninterrupted operation in the event of a power supply failure. For additional safety, add a second main controller to maintain operation should the primary main controller have an issue.

Change settings with a single button

Scenario is an EDGE software feature that allows a group of outputs (fan, inlets, and lights) to be set in a specific by‐pass state without directly interacting with the EDGE. Users unfamiliar with EDGE can press a button programmed with a predefined set of output states for a specific situation. The button can be located anywhere on site and does not require the user to interface directly with EDGE. However, EDGE users can activate or deactivate a Scenario via the EDGE control or with any internet connected device. Scenarios can be created for any number of situations and each one can have its own set of criteria that must be met before a Scenario will run. Minimum and maximum animal age, time of day, and outside temperature can be specified along with the ability to set the state of fans, inlets and lights, give the Scenario feature vast possibilities. Use of the Scenario feature requires EDGE software version 2.4.4 or higher.

Information at a Glance

Navigation is easy with the large, 15" color touchscreen. Everything is right in front of you for quick, easy navigation. The buttons are large enough to be touched even when wearing gloves. Color-coded notifications give you real-time status of your entire operation. Site-wide conditions can also be monitored from the touchscreen.

Remote Connectivity

Connect an Ethernet cable and take control of the system from anywhere. EDGE's cloud-based architecture allows remote connections via any web-enabled device to monitor and analyze data in real-time or quickly respond to issues. EDGE gives you the freedom to leave the farm while knowing you are only one touch or click away. If a problem occurs and an alarm is triggered, you will be immediately notified via text message or email, saving valuable time and money.

Multi-Location Control

With EDGE, you have the power to control multiple buildings or rooms from a single controller using one interface. EDGE reduces management complexity and offers you considerable cost savings by eliminating the need to have a separate controller for each individual location. One EDGE System can easily do what up to 64 individual controllers used to do.

Easy Configuration

Simply input the location and production type of your equipment (fans, inlets, temperature probes, etc.) and EDGE will automatically configure to optimally operate. Our products are delivered to you pre-loaded so set-up is quick. Plus, the intuitive interface makes it easy to modify settings at any time.

Plug-In Modules

Similar to the input/output expansion slots in a computer, plug-in modules serve different functions, allowing you to customize the system based on your specific configuration. As you expand, or new technologies and applications are introduced, add new modules to reflect new functionality allowing you to integrate a wide variety of components into a single, efficient system.
