Problem statement
If your farm grows cows, pigs or poultry, there are numerous parameters which will determine "food-to-meat" conversion.
However, without sensors installed throughout the production facilities, to collect real-time data about the stages of production, it is not easy to improve and optimize the production. Also, since the each farm is different and specific, end-to-end solutions for IoT digitalization do not exist on market.
Solution
Customized IoT solution for the Digital Livestock Farming include selection of the optimal IoT sensors topologies (either off-the-shelf, or produced by Bitgear), and presenting actionable insights and real-time dashboards.
By measuring environmental parameters (temperature, humidity), temporary food and water consumption, excessive gasses, and controlling heating and cooling, and presenting everything on a real-time dashboards, production manager gains insight and can optimize production in a finest details.
Based on collected data over the time, the analytics and Machine Learing provides ways to further enhance and optimize the production. Also, in the case of free ranging animals, the tracking of the animals and their location and behavior is integrated into the
The customized IoT solutions, using the latest sensor, connectivity and IoT platforms technology, are deployable within weeks (not months).
