Project Description:
A smart system is driven by Arduino or PLC. Multiple temperatures and humidity sensors are distributed inside the farm. Multiple cooling fans are arranged on the surrounding walls. Floor heating is laid on the foundation. These sensors transmit temperature signals to Arduino or PLC. The processor will control the start and stop of the cooling fan, heater and humidifier according to the program setting. After setting a high and low-temperature threshold, the farm can be kept at a stable temperature and humidity to ensure the animals’ health. In addition, a conveyor belt will be laid at the bottom of the feed trough, and a water tank will be set above the feed trough. These devices are controlled by a timer inside the Arduino or PLC. The feed is regularly transported from the feed storage tank to the feed through a conveyor belt. The water tank will automatically store water.
Short Description:
A smart livestock farm, that will automatically adjust heating/ventilation, replenish feed and water with the help of conveyor belt.
