86,400.
This is how many seconds are in a single day and exactly the number of times the Distynct Alarm system heartbeat is checking on the conditions of a barn.
An alarm system that monitors livestock barns every second of every day, covering all 86,400 seconds in a day, offers unparalleled protection and peace of mind for farmers and livestock owners. Unlike traditional alarm systems that require manual checks and phone calls to confirm monitoring, this advanced system provides constant surveillance, ensuring immediate detection and response to any potential issues. This continuous monitoring significantly reduces the risk of catastrophic events, such as equipment failure, fires, or ventilation problems, which can have devastating effects on livestock health and farm operations.
Consider the unfortunate case of a contract grower who recently lost nearly 1,000 market-weight pigs to suffocation due to the shortcomings of an outdated alarm system. In this instance, the system’s failure to provide real-time monitoring and immediate alerts meant that the issue went undetected until it was too late.
The modern, continuously monitoring alarm system could have prevented this disaster by instantly alerting the farmer to the ventilation failure, allowing for a swift response that could have saved the pigs. This stark contrast underscores the critical importance of adopting cutting-edge technology to ensure the safety and well-being of livestock, 86,400 times per day.
