Project Description
This project will focus on automation of barn control system adjustments, based on real-time IoT data and trend analysis of data records, to optimize the barn environment for animal welfare and productivity while reducing personnel-hours required to maintain optimal rearing environments.
Project Innovation
- Develop a precision livestock farming (PLF) hardware, software, and data analytics platform designed to correlate video and audio analysis for animal production/performance parameters.
- Deploy IoT sensors for the monitoring of barn environmental conditions and energy consumption, to supplement available information through the IoT barn control systems.
- Integrate a two-way data messaging-in-the-barn control systems to allow for automated adjustments to equipment operation thresholds and control settings, removing the need for the barn operator to monitor and adjust these systems manually.
