Upgrade the Monitoring System in Chicken Farm with Wireless Sensing & Edge Analysis
Managing vast chicken farms can be complex. The integration of IoT and Edge AI technologies can substantially streamline this process.
This application will demonstrate how by utilizing wireless sensors, edge controllers, cameras, and Machine Learning algorithms, is able to capture real-time environmental data, identify anomalies in animal health and operational processes, and provide remote control capabilities, then to enhance the management of chicken farms.
What We Provide
A Wireless Environmental Monitoring System
Heat leads to increased stress level and reduced egg production
Bad air quality affect food intake
Light affect birds' growth rhythms
A poor environment for chickens can lead to detrimental effects on their health, well-being, and productivity.
For instance, excessive heat can cause increased stress levels and reduced egg production, while high levels of CO2 and NH3 H2S can lead to respiratory issues and negatively impact food intake. Additionally, the duration of light exposure can affect the birds’ circadian rhythms.
Continuous and frequent monitoring is essential to ensure the welfare of chickens and minimize mortality.
Challenges
1. Deploying and maintaining sensors at scale is difficult
For comprehensive monitoring in a poultry farm, you need to consider deploying a distributed sensor system. This approach increases sensor count and management complexity, so ease of deployment, management and requiring no maintenance throughout the entire breeding cycle are crucial.
2. Harsh environment affects sensor accuracy
Environmental factors such as dust, dirt, and humidity can impact sensor accuracy over time. Ensuring the sensor's structural design and build quality is suitable for the harsh conditions of the poultry farm is essential for long-term reliability and accuracy

An Automated Control System on Edge
From Data Insight to Timely Action
Edge controller to manage the legacy system Intelligently
An automated system, powered by an edge controller and self-defined thresholds, is essential for poultry farming. It enables swift adjustments in ventilation, heating, or lighting based on real-time data, ensuring optimal conditions. This system mitigates the risk of delays in response to environmental changes, ultimately saving on labor costs and improving overall farm management
Challenges
1.Unifying diverse devices in chicken farms is complex
Your chicken farm may already be equipped with a variety of devices. These devices, originating from different manufacturers or operating under different protocols, present a significant challenge when it comes to unifying them under a single management system. Overcoming this complexity requires a versatile solution.
2.Insufficient infrastructure to build a intelligent control system
When attempting to upgrade your control system, you might encounter numerous hurdles, such as devices lacking connectivity and current controllers incapable of extracting data insights or executing local control logic. An inclusive solution that unifies existing devices, even those without internet connectivity, and incorporates an easy-to-deploy, powerful controller with enhanced computational abilities is crucial to substantially improve the intelligence of farm management
