Auto-Management of Livestock Farming

While researching, we discovered many issues that farmers face while managing their livestock.

Our goal is to create a system (using technology) that is more efficient in managing livestock than humans, in hopes of reducing human work. Technology is much more efficient than humans and makes little to no errors. Hence, this helps solves issues caused by human errors such as the animal’s feeding status, (overfed/underfed), livestock statistics (numbers), the health of the livestock and the environment. Something that takes a lot of effort in doing can be done with technology.

M5Stack Modules needed: 1 ToF, 1 RFID, 1 LIGHT, 2 Servo Motor, 2 M5Stack, 1 Pa.Hub, 1 Env II

ToF Unit (Motion sensor) → M5Stack → Every livestock detected considers as 1 livestock count within certain distance, livestock limit reached LED Light appears.

• ToF Unit (Motion sensor) → M5Stack → Every livestock detected considers as 1 livestock count within certain distance, livestock limit reached LED Light appears.

RFID Unit (Livestock Count) → M5Stack → Every tag detected considers as 1 livestock count. Once livestock limit is reached, a red LED will appear on the M5Stack.

• RFID Unit (Livestock Count) → M5Stack → Every tag detected considers as 1 livestock count. Once livestock limit is reached, a red LED will appear on the M5Stack.

(Note: both the RFID and toF sensor must work at the same time)

• (Note: both the RFID and toF sensor must work at the same time)

Light Unit (Time of Day) → M5Stack → Sense time of day (Intensity of Light) to rotate servo motors (Gate and Food dispenser).

ENV II Unit (Thermal sensor) to detect the temperature of the animal’s temperature in case livestock is sick

• ENV II Unit (Thermal sensor) to detect the temperature of the animal’s temperature in case livestock is sick

Purpose of thermal scanner is to detect high temperature which is part of the symptoms if livestock is sick.

• Purpose of thermal scanner is to detect high temperature which is part of the symptoms if livestock is sick.

Purpose of livestock count is is to make live count of the total amount of livestock. It make sure it does not go beyond or under the total amount of livestock. Tof and RFID detects motion sensor and RFID Tag and converts it to 1 livestock count and has a time interval for each count.

Purpose of food dispenser is to give food to livestock depending on the time of day using the LIGHT Unit. When a certain time, light has reached, the food will be dispensed for a time limit before resetting back to its original position.
