Development of the production module of an IoT cloud platform for precision livestock farming
| Summary: | The agricultural livestock production sub-sector is characterized by its many geographically dispersed production points. Records are usually collected in handwritten forms that are then transposed to separate Excel sheets by technical assistants. These documents are used to evaluate "one-shot" results at the end of the animal production batches and are filed together with the other documents in the batch. Most of the collected data is usually not organized in a way that allows easy historical analysis and qualitative assessment of economic and technical results. Farmcontrol, the provider of an IoT solution for livestock farm monitoring wanted to somehow respond to current difficulties and add meaningful context to the enormous stream of sensor data that are generated. Its goal was to present relevant real-time insights to livestock producers while helping organize everyday farm tasks and benchmark results. To tackle this challenge Farmcontrol developed a new module for its cloud software that promoted the current work project. |
