Features Pain Point Impact GrowTRAC™ Advantages

Environmental Conditions Monitoring • Unknown number and duration of out-of-feed events • Managers must make frequent trips to sites to assess conditions • No real-time knowledge of emergency conditions • High energy costs • No notification of equipment failure • Limited animal health risk indicators • No Multi-Site Overview • No remote knowledge of animal condition and grade • Loss of growth and meat production • Increased labor costs and travel costs • Managers forced to manage sites reactively • Slow reaction time • Higher health/mortality rates • Increased biosecurity risks • Reduce number and duration of out-of-feed events • Increase number of sites manageable by a single manager • Reduce hours of “windshield time” • Reduce biosecurity risks • Leveraging of key employees • Efficient management • Improve standardization

Historical Record Data • Historical data stored in multiple incompatible formats • Limited visual presentation of data • Use of spreadsheets is manual, intensive and slow • Inability to efficiently capture site and animal data • No real-time data • No effective way to compare site-to-site performance over time • Labor intensive data comparisons • No standardization of growout parameters • Inability to fully analyze historical animal/ environmental/major event information • Inability to act proactively to current environmental and health conditions • Inability to monitor current mortalities and animal inventories • Earlier detection of under-performing sites • Performance improvement of under-performing sites • Increase number of sites per analyst • Auto notification of out-of-limit performance • Increased accuracy of data • Production data on a timely basis

Remote Control and Monitoring • Dial-up modem updates expensive and slow • Only one site can be connected at a time • Manual updates require excessive travel costs • Lack of key data • No intelligent notification • Limited number of users • Limited access and availability • Productive time wasted by slow connection • Increased labor costs and travel costs • Limited flexibility/accessibility • Limited notification • Manage and control multiple site parameters to standardize sites • Reduce time required to update settings and parameters • Effective management and time utilization • Multi-site overview • Intelligent notification • System heartbeat monitoring • Warnings as well as alarms • Notifications by phone, cell phone, email or pages

Electronic Field Data Entry (MDA or PDA) • Paper reports/manual entry • Multiple points for human error in data entry • Time delay for data upload • Multiple systems required for data collection • Administrative staff required • Duplication of effort and data • Time and cost of modifying reports • Errors in data • Increased data entry labor cost • Increased training time required for multiple systems • Delays in receiving data • Limited flexibility of reporting formats • Lack of standardization of reporting entries • Reduce number of data entry errors/corrections • Handheld data audits with all-in-one interfacing system • Audits programmed into system • Increase number of sites serviced by data entry staff • Increase speed of data transfer

Enterprise and 3rd Party Systems Integration • Multiple systems with partial data • Multiple points of management • No tie-in to feed or LP ordering systems • No tie-in to delivery cheduling • No tie-in to animal management systems • No real-time data • Reduced efficiency with multiple systems • Requires additional personnel • Redundant or missing orders • Loss of productivity and grower goodwill due to missed notification of real time changes • Reduce number of duplicated or missing feed or LP orders • Capture animal, production, and field report information in real time for a more complete and timely analysis
