Phason - Model AFX-CONNECT2 -Farm Management Control System
AutoFlex Connect II delivers a streamlined and efficient solution for comprehensive farm management. Engineered for flexibility and modularity, AutoFlex Connect II allows the precise control of ventilation, supplemental cooling, heating, lighting, and feeding needed to optimize farm operations. This system is designed to scale with your needs, accommodating both large and small farming setups through the use of customizable smart modules that handle various input and output requirements, such as variable speed fans, air inlets, and environmental sensors. The system supports remote connectivity via Ethernet or Wi-Fi, enabling real-time monitoring and management from any web-enabled device. Users can access detailed data analytics and set automated alerts for critical conditions, enhancing responsiveness to on-farm issues even when off-site. The interface also includes an upgraded touchscreen for intuitive control and navigation. Its resilience in harsh agricultural environments and the capacity to integrate expansion modules make AutoFlex Connect II a robust and versatile tool for modern farm management.
Your farm management solution
AutoFlex Connect II brings flexibility and versatility to your fingertips. With AutoFlex Connect II, you can control and manage ventilation, supplemental cooling, heating, lighting, feeding, and more.
Customizable to your farm operations
AutoFlex Connect II is modular and adapts to your needs, whether you are running a large operation with several dozen sites or a small facility with one or two buildings. With Phason’s AutoFlex Connect II, you can build out your control as you determine what additional inputs and outputs you need. AutoFlex Connect II becomes more economical as your operation expands.
Smart Modules are available to control variable or fixed-speed fans, air inlets, curtains, lighting, feed loops, and more. On the input side, you can choose to monitor conditions such as temperature, humidity, ammonia, carbon dioxide, and more.
One size does not fit all
Each farm has its own needs. With AutoFlex Connect II, you have two sizes of controls to choose from. This allows you to choose the right control for your application.
- AFX-CONNECT2: 14 modules
- AFXMINICONNECT2: 6 modules
Expansion Boxes are available to add additional capacity.
Remote connectivity
Network your AutoFlex Connect II controls using Ethernet or Wi-Fi and then access them from anywhere, using any web-enabled device. Monitor and analyze data in real-time or quickly respond to issues.
Leave the farm knowing that you are just a few clicks away from your controls. Relax knowing that if a problem occurs and an alarm is triggered, you will be immediately notified by text message or e-mail.
