Objectives:
Feasibility study to set up a microcontroller relaying numerous sensors
placed in a cowshed and a web platform, to harvest and process data (CO2
and CH4 levels).

6. Smart Farming

Context:
The cowshed consists of two boxes of
food for the cows.
Each box is composed of four
sensors: weight, identifier, CO2 and
CH4.
The information is sent to a data
collector via different media.

General strategy:
Analysis of the solution.
Study and choice of
equipment.
Implementation and
development of the data
collector.
Implementation of the
microcontroller.
Setting up the remote server.

8. Smart Farming

Data management:
Sending data from the harvester (located in
the cowshed) to the web platform is done via
3G.
The data is stored in a database in the
microcontroller, it is then processed before
being sent.
Once a cow starts feeding, the data is taken
every 3 seconds.
We recover up to 30.000 data chunks per day.
The project is scalable and can accommodate
new sensors.
