wiCool is a sensor-based smart cooling system developed by wiCowto prevent heat stress in barns. It analyzes temperature and humidity in real time and automatically controls fans and misting, protecting milk yield and animal health by helping cows maintain their ideal body temperature.

Its modular design integrates easily into any barn and provides digital control through the wiCow mobile app. By operating only when needed, wiCool saves water and energy and helps deliver maximum operational efficiency at a low cost.

The image beside you shows the final appearance of your barn. In the following images, we will remove the roof and show the design from different angles.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers about wiCow, wiCool, installation and pricing.

How accurate is wiCow's calving prediction?

wiCow predicts calving with 96% accuracy, giving a 24-hour advance warning and an immediate phone call and app notification when calving starts.

Can wiCool work without wiCow?

Yes. wiCool can run on barn climate monitoring alone. Adding wiCow brings in the cows' own body-temperature data, so cooling reacts to heat stress in the animals, not just the air.

How long does installation take?

Typically 6-7 days, depending on barn size, connectivity and the number of cooling zones.

Do you offer phone call alerts?

Yes. You can configure app notifications and optional phone call alerts for critical events such as the start of calving.

What herd size is wiCow suitable for?

wiCow scales from small family farms (50+ head) to large commercial operations (5,000+ head). Sensor quantities and infrastructure are tailored to each farm.

How does pricing work?

Pricing is quote-based, depending on herd size, barn layout and the number of automation zones required. Contact us for a tailored offer.

What return on investment can I expect?

Most farms see a return within 1-2 seasons through reduced calf and cow losses, better fertility management and lower cooling energy costs.

Is farm data encrypted?

Yes. Data is encrypted in transit and handled with secure access controls.

What support do you offer after installation?

We provide ongoing technical support, software updates and remote monitoring. Our team helps with system adjustments and troubleshooting.
