A low-cost sensing and control system developed for poultry-shed conditions. The project brought environmental monitoring, embedded control and on-site installation together. It was a collaborative effort that became a journal article and taught me to think about the experimental setting as carefully as the controller.
Implemented research prototype
This work took us beyond a laboratory table. Preparing the farm, installing the system and collecting observations were part of the engineering, not steps that came after it.
I contributed to the farm and experimental setup, as well as data collection and analysis. Working at the installation site was an important part of understanding what the system needed to do.
The poultry-shed automation work became a journal article on low-cost IoT-based climate control for poultry growth and survival. My contribution included the farm and experiment setup, data collection and analysis.
Poultry-shed automation required more than a controller that worked on a desk. The team needed an installation, an experimental setup and observations from the place where the system would be used. My involvement included preparing that setting, collecting data and working on the analysis.
