BaconBitTM is an innovative smart ear tag designed to monitor and measure the physiological parameters of animals. This device incorporates various sensors, including a thermometer to track skin temperature, a 6- axis accelerometer, and gyroscope to monitor the animal's movement. The collected data is wirelessly transmitted to aggregators located within the barn. The frequency of data collection and transmission can be remotely adjusted according to specific needs.
Additionally, the device is equipped with LEDs that can be remotely activated from a mobile device or server.This feature allows for quick and easy identification of animals in distress,facilitating timely interventions and care. The continuous recording and monitoring of health data provided by BaconBitTM empower nutrition experts and veterinarians to make informed decisions regarding the well-being of the animal.
Raspberry PiG is a battery-powered aggregator designed to capture real-time sensor data and seamlessly transmit it to the cloud (or local server) for analysis and processing. These compact devices are securely housed in weatherproof casings strategically positioned within the barn environment. Utilizing WiFi or cellular connectivity, the aggregators establish reliable internet connections, ensuring continuous data transmission.
This versatile device excels at data collection, gathering information from various sources such as BaconBits, weighing scales, and other environmental sensors. By utilizing Bluetooth or WiFi protocols, Raspberry PiG effortlessly integrates with existing barn sensors, expanding its capabilities. Thanks to its battery-powered operation, Raspberry PiG offers enhanced flexibility. It eliminates the need for a direct power connection, enabling strategic placement within the barn without being restricted by electrical outlets. The battery power ensures uninterrupted operation, allowing for continuous data collection and transmission.
PorkLogic-in-a-box (POBox) serves as a local server specifically designed to aggregate data from barn aggregators via the WiFi protocol. POBox employs advanced data manipulation techniques, effectively eliminating duplicate entries and filtering out essential data before transmitting it to the cloud through the gateway. As an additional safeguard, POBox stores the data locally, ensuring backup in case of any transmission failures. One of the key features of POBox is its substantial data capacity, enabling the storage and processing of the entire barn's data locally. This capability ensures comprehensive data management within the system, facilitating efficient analysis and decision-making.In environments where internet connectivity is limited or nonexistent, POBox becomes even more valuable. The entire PorkLogic system, including the algorithm and portal, can be executed locally on the POBox.This means that even without reliable internet access, the PorkLogic system can continue to operate seamlessly within the barn, providing uninterrupted monitoring and analysis capabilities. By incorporating POBox into the PorkLogic system, users benefit from its data aggregation, filtering, backup, and local processing capabilities. This enhances the system's reliability, adaptability, and performance, enabling effective data management and analysis in various barn environments.
Introducing SowBit, a groundbreaking all-in-one device specifically designed for the livestock industry. SowBit revolutionizes animal monitoring by providing comprehensive measurements of vital signs such as Heart Rate, SpO2, ECG, and Stress. This marks a significant advancement in livestock health management. SowBit plays a crucial role in monitoring critical vitals during the farrowing phase, a period where animal mortality rates reach 30%.
