IoT-Based Automated Poultry Farming System
Outline
This project proposal aims to develop an IoT-based software for automated poultry farming system that can monitor and control various aspects of poultry farming, including egg collection, feeding and waste removal. The proposed system will provide real-time data and alerts to farmers, enabling them to optimize their farming practices and improve poultry productivity.
Introduction
With the increasing demand in the global poultry sector every day, it requires to be skillfully managed and nurtured. One example could be a Smart Poultry Farm that can be implemented by using sensors and actuators to monitor the overall environmental parameters of a poultry farm
Poultry farming is an essential component of the agricultural industry, providing a valuable source of protein for human consumption. However, poultry farming can be challenging and time-consuming, requiring constant monitoring and control of various parameters to ensure optimal productivity. This project aims to develop an IoT-based automated poultry farming system that can provide real-time monitoring and control of various aspects of poultry farming.
Problem statement
The traditional poultry farming methods are labor-intensive and require constant monitoring and control. This makes it difficult for farmers to manage large-scale poultry farms effectively. Furthermore, the traditional methods are often inefficient and may lead to low poultry productivity. Therefore, there is a need for an automated poultry farming system that can provide real-time monitoring and control of various parameters.

Timeline
Time Period | Workflow |
Week 1 | Determine the requirements of the poultry farm |
Week 2 | Set up the IoT hardware: The IoT hardware setup depends on the type of sensors and automation systems you want to use on your farm. |
Week 3 | Program the IoT devices: After setting up the IoT devices, we need to program them to read the sensors' data, control the automation system, and send the data to the cloud. |
Week 4 | Connecting the IoT devices to the cloud: The IoT devices need to be connected to the cloud to send data and receive commands. We will use a cloud platforms called Azure IoT to manage the IoT devices. |
Week 5 | Test the IoT web application: After creating the web application, we need to test it to ensure that it works correctly. We will test the IoT devices, and the web application separately and then integrate them. |
