The iQon full house controller consists of a controller and a large, built-in 12 inch touchscreen. The software has a clean layout and is easy to navigate, which makes managing the following functions intuitive.
The following three functions improve the feeding process:
- First, you can divide your chickens into management groups. By setting different feed strategies per subgroup, you can feed your birds optimally. The data that is collected gives you an insight (detailed or high-level) into the results of your flocks, houses and site. You can always check the status, as well as gain new insights through comparisons.
- The second useful feeding function is the feed curves. These curves gradually adjust the feed composition and volume during a flock. iQon will ensure the feed is weighed, mixed and delivered precisely according to your settings. Translate your feed strategy into curves and reuse them after successful flocks.
- The third function is the clear daily schedule with the specified feeding, filling and, if desired, winching up times for the feed lines. You can quickly and easily adjust specific actions.
Advanced feed management is now possible with the iQon full house computer. The other feed and water functions only enhance this efficiency. The computer enables automation that results in a higher return on investment, as you can optimally manage your feed process.
iQon controls the air flow with high precision, so there is a homogeneous climate for your chickens throughout the entire house. Numerous parameters determine which type of ventilation you need at a given moment.
- The input from sensors provides exact measurements. You can install up to 16 temperature sensors indoors; also outdoors, you have the option of installing temperature and/or humidity sensors.
- iQon also uses an age curve. The ventilation levels are adjusted according to the age of the chickens.
- The built-in humidity controller controls the humidity in the house.
The intensity of the ventilation changes gradually and transitions seamlessly through three levels: minimum ventilation (1) for sufficient fresh air, transition ventilation (2) with fans and air inlets that create circulation, and tunnel ventilation (3) that creates the right amount of windchill. To ensure an extremely gradual transition, iQon creates clusters of up to 20 fan groups – 16 groups for standard fans and 4 groups for variable speed fans.

The impact of climate control on the uniformity of a flock shouldn’t be underestimated. With the iQon full house computer, you can gain optimal control over the temperature, air quality and comfort of your chickens, which is essential for any results-oriented poultry company.
With the iQon #sharp connectivity module, you are always connected to your house computer via your smartphone, tablet or laptop and you can make adjustments wherever you are. This module also keeps your controller up to date with the latest features remotely.
