Agricultural Environment Monitoring
Ready to deployAutomated Control
Pain Points & Challenges
Operators cannot visually detect toxic gas spikes or subtle climate drift, and legacy equipment lacks automated closed-loop logic; delayed ventilation leads to irreversible flock mortality.
Edge AI Solution
Industrial edge gateways interface directly with existing ventilation fans and cooling pads via Modbus RTU or dry-contact relays, executing closed-loop climate strategies on-site even when the internet is down.
Core Advantages
- Direct Relay: Onboard dry contact relays and Modbus RTU directly control fan distribution boxes
- Local Logic: Control rules run on the local edge gateway to prevent barn suffocation during outages
- Graded Actuation: Staged activation of side and roof fans according to climate gradients
Smart Fan & Wet Curtain Interlock
Edge gateways drive fans and cooling pads via Modbus RTU and relay dry contacts, responding in milliseconds.
Automated Feeding & Water Metering
Stage fan and cooling pad activation based on temperature and ammonia gradients to prevent livestock thermal stress.
Edge Offline Autonomous Assurance
When internet is disconnected, local gateway logic keeps running, preserving closed-loop ventilation to prevent suffocation.
AI Health Monitoring
Pain Points & Challenges
In high-density livestock farming, manual inspection struggles to identify early symptoms in individual animals; delayed isolation during the incubation stage accelerates contagion and increases mortality.
Edge AI Solution

Success Cases
FAQ
The solution uses SenseCAP industrial sensors with IP66 protection, -40 to 85°C operating range, and built-in 19Ah Li-SOCl2 battery for 3-5 years runtime. NH3 (0-100ppm ±5%) and H2S sensors use anti-corrosion electrochemical probes and breathable filters against barn moisture and manure. Includes 1-year warranty and support.
In-barn data collection does not rely on broadband: SenseCAP sensors transmit 2-5km line-of-sight over LoRaWAN, penetrating multiple walls to gateways. Local gateways directly actuate fans and cooling pads via Modbus RTU or relays on-site even during outages. Data export supports 4G cellular or local LAN deployment.
The solution scales per barn: for wireless environmental telemetry only, deploy 1-2 SenseCAP S2100 sensors paired with a SenseCAP M2 gateway. For automated ventilation control, select the all-in-one reComputer R1225 industrial controller—which integrates a LoRaWAN concentrator and 3x RS485 ports into a single unit to execute local Modbus-RTU closed loops. Scale up with AI cameras as needed.
Yes. Sensor data and alert events are exposed via open API / MQTT interfaces and can feed straight into your existing livestock-management system, adding a real-time environmental layer; or run standalone on the SenseCAP data platform first and integrate later.
The success cases on this page are real projects: a poultry farm combining sensors with AI video analytics cut mortality by up to 20% and improved feed conversion by about 2%; a pig farm used edge AI boxes for behavior analysis at 98% lower cost than a cloud-GPU setup. The core logic: a stable environment plus early anomaly detection means fewer losses.
Yes. The Seeed devices used in this solution can be customized with your own logo, enclosure, packaging and pre-loaded firmware, and existing models can be adapted to add or drop interfaces and features. See Customization Service for scope and process, or .
