Networked Monitoring and Control System for a Large Scale Poultry Farm

摘要

A networked monitoring and control system for a large - scale poultry farm is developed based on distributed data acquisition and network control techniques. U-sing embedded web server and video server as an intelligent node, each laying house is connected to the network of the poultry farm as a unit. The mohitoring system applies new techniques such as movable vidicon and wireless video telecommunications. It features monitoring the laying house at all orientation, and video telecommunicating through Internet. All video information and environmental parameters are sent to central computer, which is in charge of storing data, displaying images and communicating to for Internet. Managers can remotely monitor and antrol real time production environments and customers with authorizations can also view the healthy layers through Internet if. This paper discusses view designs and applications of the networked monitoring and control system. The system applies web service technology using Java and XML language. The program runs in the central computer and improves data management , system security and compatibility. As a part of poultry farm networked management system, networked monitoring and control system has been applied in a farm with 400, 000 layers. Tests reveals that the egg yield rate increased and the death rate declined.
