Enhancing Poultry Farming with IoT-enabled Environmental Controllers

Project Overview

Epsum Labs collaborated with an Agrotech company to develop innovative controllers for monitoring and controlling environmental conditions within poultry farms. The project aimed to ensure optimal growth and health of chickens by automating.

Challenges

• Poultry farmers faced challenges in maintaining optimal environmental conditions within their farms, leading to issues such as poor growth rates, increased mortality rates, and higher operational costs. There was a need for a solution that could automate and optimize environmental controls to improve overall poultry farm management

Solution

Epsum Labs developed IoT-enabled environmental controllers that could monitor and control environmental conditions within poultry farms. These controllers were equipped with a mobile application that allowed farm owners to remotely monitor farm conditions and manually override controls when necessary. The system automated the management of temperature, humidity, ventilation, and lighting based on predefined conditions, ensuring optimal conditions for chicken growth and health.

Implementation

The implementation of the environmental controllers involved installing the controllers within poultry farms and configuring them to monitor and control environmental conditions. Epsum Labs provided training to farm owners on how to use the mobile application and manually override controls when needed.

Results

Improved Productivity: The environmental controllers improved the growth rates and health of chickens, leading to higher productivity and profitability for poultry farmers. Cost Savings: By automating environmental controls, farmers were able to reduce operational costs associated with manual monitoring and control. Enhanced Animal Welfare: The controllers ensured that chickens were raised in optimal conditions, improving their welfare and reducing stress-related issues.Sustainability: The environmental controllers helped farmers reduce their environmental footprint by optimizing resource usage and reducing waste.

Conclusion

The collaboration between Epsum Labs and the Agrotech company resulted in the development of innovative environmental controllers that revolutionized poultry farming. The controllers showcased the power of technology in enhancing agricultural practices and animal welfare, empowering farmers with the tools to ensure the best environmental conditions for their poultry.
