IoT-Enabled Cattle Health and Location Monitoring System
Authors: , ,
Abstract: In human-animal interactions, the capabilities of the IoT concept become a promising game changer. The owners of animal farms can already utilize smart sensors to identify ways to keep an eye on the health, whereabouts, behavior, and/or environment of their animals. On the other hand, despite this notion being in use for years, there are still some concerns that need to be resolved. In this work, we contribute to the design of a state-of-art wearable collar for cattle that can monitor the location and health conditions remotely in large-scale farms. The proposed collar is designed on a microcontroller with GSM/GPRS communication modules. Therefore, the wearable collar can communicate directly with the IoT server via 3G/4G or 5G mobile base stations and can be used in robust environments. Further, power-saving techniques have been investigated to prolong the lifetime of the wearable collar. Evaluation of the performances of the devices has been presented in this paper.
