INTERNET OF THINGS BASED PRACTICAL SMART ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING SYSTEM FOR POULTRY FARM

In this article, we propose developing digital innovation of smart monitoring systems in the poultry farm using the Internet of Things (IoT) technology. This work aimed to design and develop a monitoring system based on an IoT system that transforms a traditional farm that uses a manual management system to apply an IoT system for environmental monitoring in a poultry farm. The main components include a hardware component that was designed and implemented to gather data of the poultry houses. Temperature and humidity sensor nodes are applied to monitoring the environment of poultry houses. The LoRa communication module in the sensor node will forward data to the gateway. The second principal component is the cloud server for data acquisition from the gateway. The cloud will be responsible for back-end processing and a web-based dashboard displaying mechanism. This system can work as an alarm notification system using LINE notify API for the LINE application that is the most popular communication application in Thailand. The system was implemented practically in one of the poultry farms in Prachinburi province, Thailand. The results indicate that the proposed system provides significant advantages, including enhanced monitoring accuracy, reduced energy consumption, and improved real-time environmental tracking for poultry farms.
