Fancom One Smart Farm Ecosystem

Fancom BV is a Dutch farm automation company based in Panningen and a subsidiary of CTB, Inc. It supplies climate, feeding, weighing and monitoring systems for poultry and pig houses and for mushroom cultivation, helping producers keep stable housing conditions and use feed, water and energy efficiently.

Fancom One is a smart farm ecosystem built around a central barn computer that controls ventilation, heating, feed and water distribution, lighting, animal weighing and egg counting from one point. Sensors and control modules connect to each other and to the internet, so data can be viewed on a smartphone and shared with advisors. Personal dashboards, role-based access and logged alarms support larger operations. Broilers are the main focus, with pig modules announced. Fancom equipment is used in projects in Asia, including a Powerflow ventilation installation for Sunjin in Vietnam.

• Central barn computer: one point of control for climate, feed, water and lighting.
• Climate control: ventilation and heating, including equal pressure ventilation and heat exchangers.
• Weighing and egg counting: animal weighing and egg counting modules for poultry houses.
• Dashboards: personal widgets for climate, feed intake and animal health trends.
• Role-based access: each user sees only relevant data, with traceable changes.
• Smart alarms: logged alerts sent to the right person, with remote access by smartphone.

• Broiler and layer integrators upgrading closed houses with central climate, feed and weighing control.
• Pig farms building multi-storey houses that need precise ventilation to reduce disease pressure.
• Barn equipment distributors in Vietnam bundling Fancom controllers into turnkey house projects.

• Improves animal welfare and performance through proven climate and feeding control algorithms.
• Uses feed, water and energy more efficiently and lowers the ecological footprint.
• Reduces errors and speeds up response with alarms routed to the responsible person.
• Grows with the farm because new modules can be added without replacing the system.

Poultry and pig production in Southeast Asia is shifting from open houses to closed, climate-controlled houses to cope with heat stress, disease such as avian influenza and African swine fever, and labour shortages. Vietnam's large integrators are investing in tunnel-ventilated and multi-storey houses that need central climate and feed control.
