Stienen Bravo Touch: Advanced Climate Control for Livestock
Stienen Agri Automation presents the Bravo Touch, a state-of-the-art climate control system designed for modern livestock farming. Combining advanced technology with user-friendly operation, the Bravo Touch ensures optimal environmental conditions for poultry and pig houses.
FarmConnect Integration (Optional)
The optional FarmConnect software collects and presents all current and historical data from farm control computers. It provides clear overviews, graphs, and tables, allowing users to access farm data remotely and intervene immediately when necessary. This ensures constant connectivity and control over the farm environment.

Capabilities
Ventilation
The Bravo Touch offers flexibility for various ventilation designs, supporting 0-10V or integrated TRIAC control for ventilation equipment. It can manage ventilation with or without dampers and air inlet control, optimizing airflow based on real-time needs.
Heating/Cooling
Manage heating and cooling equipment, including gas heaters, cooling pads, floor heating/cooling systems, or air conditioning. Optimize settings over time for maximum production results and minimum energy costs by controlling these systems precisely when needed.
Sensor Inputs
- Temperature: Monitor and control in-house temperatures with precision, maintaining steady levels within user-defined boundaries.
- Relative Humidity: Connect humidity sensors to monitor and control in-house humidity levels, automatically adjusting ventilation and heating to prevent excess moisture.
- Ammonia (NH₃): Monitor air quality by adding an ammonia sensor. Active ammonia control automatically adjusts ventilation to ensure a healthy environment.
- Carbon Dioxide (CO₂): Highly recommended for use with gas heaters. The Bravo Touch automatically uses ventilation to remove dangerous CO₂ levels when they rise above safety standards.
- Measuring Fans: Install measuring fans to accurately control live ventilation rates (m³/h) instead of relying on calculated values. This ensures energy savings by ventilating only the required amount.
- Air Pressure (Pa): Adding an air pressure sensor allows the Bravo Touch to calculate optimal air flow and ventilation rates at the animal level.
