A Preliminary Study on Poultry Farm Environmental Monitoring using Internet of Things and Blockchain Technology

Abstract

This paper presents the application of Internet of Things (IoT) and blockchain technology in poultry industry. Production of poultry is highly depending on the environment parameter like temperature, humidity, air and lighting to maintain and to boost the production of poultry. Monitoring all the environmental parameters is crucial for a large poultry farm, especially in traditional way. Recently, the adoption of IoT and Blockchain is used for monitoring and controlling the farm automatically. It is proven that it can reduce cost and the poultry farm well-managed. At first, the data of temperature are monitored using IoT-based temperature and humidity sensor and recorded in JSON format. From the results, the data is successfully transmitted to IOTA blockchain. Blockchain will ensure the data is secured and transparent to consumers.
