Intelligent environmental control system for poultry farming

Automatically manages fans, cooling pads, inlets, and heaters based on real‑time temperature, humidity, and pressure data. Reduces manual intervention while maintaining a stable, energy‑efficient poultry house environment.

This intelligent environmental control system is designed to optimize ventilation, heating, and cooling in poultry houses with minimal human oversight. It uses real‑time sensor inputs to regulate equipment stepwise, ensuring stable climate conditions and lower energy consumption.

Key functions included:

  • Multi‑stage fan control – Fans are activated gradually according to temperature difference (e.g., 1°C → 1 fan, 2°C → 2 fans), providing smooth transitions and energy savings.

  • Heater interlock – Automatically starts heating devices (hot air blower, radiator, etc.) when the temperature falls below the target setpoint.

  • Cooling pad control – Engages cooling pads when the temperature exceeds a defined threshold and humidity conditions are appropriate, preventing over‑humidification.

  • Inlet adjustment – Modulates air intake based on negative pressure sensor readings, maintaining proper static pressure for uniform air distribution.

Benefits:

  • Maintains stable temperature, humidity, and ventilation around the clock

  • Reduces labor by automating routine environmental adjustments

  • Lowers electricity costs through staged equipment activation

  • Improves bird welfare and growth performance

Applications:

  • Broiler, layer, and breeder houses

  • Tunnel or cross‑ventilation systems

  • Farms upgrading to smart climate control
