BARNTOOLS LAUNCHES BARN360 BIOSECURITY, EXPANDING FULL-FARM VISIBILITY
Source: BarnTools news release

Urbandale, IA - BarnTools today announced the launch of Barn360, a biosecurity platform that expands the BarnTools connected farm system into real-time biosecurity enforcement for swine and poultry operations.

The launch marks a significant expansion of BarnTools' role in livestock production. Already trusted for real-time monitoring across critical farm systems, including feed, water, power, temperature, and environmental conditions, BarnTools now brings biosecurity into the same connected operational view.

With Barn360, producers can manage important biosecurity information in the same BarnTalk app they already use to monitor environmental conditions, bringing more of the farm into one connected system.

"As livestock operations scale, producers need more than point solutions," said Michael Hansen, CEO of BarnTools. "They need one connected system that shows what is happening across the operation, from feed and water to environment and biosecurity. Barn360 is the next step in that vision."

Biosecurity is one of the most critical and difficult areas for livestock teams to manage consistently. Many operations still rely on paper logs, spreadsheets, and manual processes to track site visits, enforce downtime, and maintain compliance. While these systems require time and effort, they often leave gaps that go unnoticed until a disease event occurs.

Barn360 replaces those fragmented workflows with a connected system that brings visibility, consistency, and enforcement to daily biosecurity operations.

Barn360 enables producers and their teams to:

· Automatically track site-to-site movements

· Enforce biosecurity protocols and downtime in real time

· Validate site access through geo-fencing

· Maintain a single, auditable source of truth across all sites and visits

· Support team compliance, even in low-connectivity environments

Designed for integrators, veterinarians, service teams, and live production managers, Barn360 provides real-time visibility into who is on-site, where they have been, and whether they are compliant with biosecurity protocols.

"For a large livestock operation, the challenge is not just having biosecurity rules. It is making sure they are applied consistently across the entire network. Barn360 helps create that consistency while giving leadership better visibility into what is actually happening in the field." - Mary Battrell, DVM / Director of Veterinary Services, Murphy Family Ventures

More importantly, Barn360 does this inside the same BarnTools system producers use to monitor critical farm conditions. That means biosecurity is no longer managed separately from the rest of the operation. It becomes part of the connected farm.

Unlike standalone biosecurity tools, Barn360 is built as part of the BarnTools platform. By connecting biosecurity with real-time monitoring across feed, water, power, and environmental systems, BarnTools gives producers a more complete view of farm operations in one place.

This integrated approach helps livestock teams manage risk, respond faster, and improve accountability without adding another disconnected system to their workflow.

Barn360 is included as part of BarnTools' enterprise platform, giving producers access to biosecurity capabilities without additional per-animal or per-site costs.

The launch of Barn360 reflects a broader shift in how modern livestock operations are managed. Instead of adopting separate tools for individual problems, producers are moving toward unified systems that connect data, workflows, and decision-making across the full farm.

For BarnTools, that shift has been central to the company's vision from the beginning: helping producers prevent losses, improve visibility, and manage increasingly complex operations with confidence.
