Implementing a Smart Farm Layer Management System Using Microcontrollers and Android

Cage management has long been considered one of the most important influences on poultry health and productivity. As well as the comfort of the cage, it is important to focus on safety and maintain all conditions in, around, and through equipment and supplies that have been used, implementing a preset condition or an overall system. Nevertheless, the closed-house layer cage system is said to be associated with some disadvantages. For example: There is no real-time capture and recording of temperature and humidity values detected by sensors. Furthermore, although the system includes some real-time values and notifications about egg collections, it does not have any daily recording data or performance dashboard for the cage, for example, indicating eggs laid per day versus the predicted number of chickens in cages, so production efficiency can be calculated on a weekly basis. It is also clear that such attributes will be a requirement for breeders to make continued performance evaluations simpler. Further, there is no layered security system in place to operate the instruments or appliances installed. The existing control system can only be operated within the enclosure on a control panel and does not support remote operation with mobile devices.
