Real-time Internet of Things Architecture for Wireless Livestock Tracking

Blog Article

Automatic livestock tracking is necessary for countries facing stock theft problems, like South Africa and Kenya.This paper presents a conceptual design of architecture for real-time wireless livestock tracking based on Internet of Things paradigm.It is a hierarchical model consisting of three building blocks, where the first block is represented with wireless sensor network.

Additionally, we have developed a low-power device for livestock tracking in read more an outdoor environment.The animal tracking device (AnTrack) is self-sustainable with a watertight solar panel(s), designed as a collar to be worn by the animals.A detailed analysis of the AnTrack power consumption proves that the device is capable to generate enough supply power, even when there is no sunshine for a week.

This device can be used as a robust building block of future real-time Internet amina muaddi scarpe trasparenti of Things livestock tracking solutions.
