Project Summary

An IoT based hybrid (Hardware/Software) mobile application with the objective of managing the operations of a dairy farm.

There are several issues regarding manual paper work which is hard to manage and save records. There is need of a solution which will provide in terms of an Android based application and IoT based structure which will help dairy farm management to gather and  record all the data without any hurdles.

The motivation behind this project is to provide such a platform to dairy farms where they can save data about dairy farming products and other stuff performed at dairy form such as keeping track of animals, automatd daily milk production calculation, record of sale & purchase, report generation, detail record of venders & sellers, tagging of an animal which make every animal unique with respect to specific assign id.

Project Objectives

The objectives of proposed idea are discussed below:

• To develop a hardware/software based hybrid system to make dairy farming up to date and bring innovation to this industry
• Hardware module for livestock tracking
• Hardware module for monitoring milk production per animal
• Hardware module for livestock health monitoring 
• A software application for managing all the operatrions of the dairy farm
• Software application will also generate reports on the basis of daily production and consumption
• Application will also keep reocord of expenses of the dairy farm
• Application will collect the data from IoT based hardware modules to save and prepare realistic reports helpful in making right business decisions

Project Implementation Method

Following are the implementation details of the proposed system:

• A hardware/software based hybrid system will be developed to streamline the operations of dairy farms
• On software front, an Android based mobile application will be developed integrated with FireBase NoSQL DB having features:
  • Keeping the record of cost incurred per animal
  • Keeping record of sales
  • Keeping record purchase
  • A module for generating reports
  • Daily/Weekly/Monthly Cost incurred per animal and overall
  • Payment history of buyers
  • Payment history of sellers
• Hardware module of the system will invlove:
  • Livestock management based on RFID tags
  • Livestock location tracking based on RFID tags
  • Calculation of milk production per animal based on ultrasonic sensor

Benefits of the Project

The proposed system will benefit Dairy Farm Industry in following ways:

• Live tracking of animals based on RFID tags
• Health record management of livestock
• Tracking per animal milk production usig ultrasonic sensors
• An Android based mobile application will help manage all the operatrions of the dairy farm with aid of data received from IoT based sensors 

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

The proposed system, when completed, will consist of two main components i.e. Hardware Module and an Android Application.

The hardware module will consist of an animal tracking system based on RFID tags. It will be used to find out the location of animals of a dairy farm based on their entry or exit from barn or shed. Each animal will have an RFID tag and their location status will be updated based on the RFID scanner placed on the gate of the barn or shed.

An ultrasonic sensor based hardware component will be developed to calculate the daily production of the milk per animal.

The Android application will help in managing all the operations of the dairy farm e.g. record keeping, livestock management based on H/W module data, expense management of the farm, livestock health monitoring etc.
