Modern piggery monitored with wireless IoT sensors
Connected monitoring from pig to production

Piggery Monitoring & Production Intelligence

Monitor pig comfort, animal activity, feed, water and critical farm equipment in one platform. Receive early alerts when conditions or equipment move outside expected limits.

Pig Comfort

Temperature, humidity, air quality and ventilation visibility.

Smart Ear Tags

Bluetooth identification and activity data for individual animals.

Feed & Water

Silo, tank, flow and consumption trends with low-level alerts.

Critical Equipment

Controller, generator, power and fuel status monitoring.

One View Across The Piggery

Connect farrowing, nursery, grower and finisher houses with feed, water and utilities so farm teams can respond to exceptions instead of relying only on manual checks.

Housing & Environment

Maintain suitable conditions for each production stage and identify ventilation or cooling problems early.

  • Temperature and relative humidity
  • CO2, ammonia and air-quality options
  • Air speed, fan operation and controller status
  • Age- or stage-specific alert thresholds

Animals & Production

Add individual-animal visibility where identification, movement and behaviour data support daily management.

  • Bluetooth ear-tag identification
  • Activity and movement trends
  • Location or zone events where supported
  • Integrations for weight and production records

Resources & Resilience

Keep the services that pigs depend on visible, including supply levels and backup systems.

  • Feed silo levels and refill planning
  • Water tank levels, flow and consumption
  • Generator running, fault and battery status
  • Fuel level, mains power and pump status

Earlier Warning For Conditions That Matter

Pigs are sensitive to heat and depend on ventilation and reliable access to cool, clean water. Temperature also affects feed intake, feed conversion and growth. Continuous monitoring helps teams detect changes between inspections and verify whether corrective action restored normal conditions.

Heat-load visibility

Review temperature together with humidity and ventilation performance.

Supply continuity

Alert on falling water or feed levels before the supply is exhausted.

Abnormal trends

Use activity, consumption and equipment data to prioritise investigation.

Backup readiness

Know whether generators, batteries and fuel are ready before an outage.

Live farm exceptions

Farrowing House: Temperature High

Temperature and humidity have exceeded the configured limit.

Feed Silo 03: Refill Required

Estimated level is below the reorder threshold.

Backup Generator: Fault Input Active

Maintenance team notified by WhatsApp and email.

Piggery Sensors & Connected Devices

Start with the highest-risk areas and add devices as the monitoring programme grows.

Temperature & Humidity

Monitor house conditions and heat-load risk by production stage.

Air Quality & Ventilation

Track CO2, optional ammonia, air movement and ventilation performance.

Bluetooth Ear Tags

Identify animals and collect supported activity, movement or temperature data.

Feed Silo Levels

Measure remaining feed and trigger low-level or refill alerts.

Water Tank Levels

Track source, header and storage tank levels across the farm.

Water Flow & Consumption

Detect changes in flow, total use and consumption patterns.

Controller Status

Read run, alarm and fault contacts from environmental controllers.

Fans, Pumps & Cooling

Confirm equipment state and detect stopped or faulted systems.

Generator Status

Monitor running, stopped, fault and starter-battery conditions.

Fuel Levels

Track generator or bulk tank fuel and receive low-level alerts.

Power Monitoring

Detect mains failure and monitor energy or phase conditions where required.

Cameras & Integrations

Bring live verification and third-party operational data into the platform.

Wireless Where Possible. Integrated Where Needed.

Use the connectivity that fits each device and area of the farm, then manage the data in one cloud platform.

LoRaWAN

Long-range, low-power coverage for houses, tanks, silos and remote infrastructure.

Bluetooth

Close-range connectivity for ear tags and supported animal-level devices.

Cellular

Standalone connectivity for remote sites or critical devices without a local gateway.

Dry Contact & API

Connect controller and generator outputs or ingest data from existing systems.

Alerts Routed To The Right Team

Configure limits by house, group, production stage or asset. Escalate unresolved events and retain a history for later review.

  • WhatsApp, Telegram, email and in-app alerts
  • High, low, fault and no-communication events
  • Low-battery and device-health alerts
  • Role-based recipients and escalation rules

From alert to action

  1. 1A sensor or connected controller reports an out-of-range condition.
  2. 2The platform applies the configured threshold, delay and schedule.
  3. 3The responsible team receives the alert and verifies the issue.
  4. 4Charts confirm whether the intervention returned the asset to normal.

Dashboards For Daily Management

Turn readings and equipment states into a practical view of houses, animals, supplies and farm infrastructure.

Farm Floorplans

See current status by site, building, room, pen or asset.

Trend Analysis

Compare conditions, consumption and activity over time.

Event History

Review alarms, acknowledgements and recovery times.

Reports & API

Export data or connect it to existing farm systems.

Common Questions

Can we start with one house or use case?

Yes. A deployment can begin with temperature and humidity, water or critical equipment, then expand across the farm.

Can existing controllers and generators be connected?

Often, yes. Run, alarm and fault outputs can be connected through dry-contact devices, while supported systems can integrate through an API.

What can Bluetooth ear tags monitor?

Capabilities depend on the selected tag. Options can include identification, activity, movement, location events and temperature-related data.

Does the solution work during internet outages?

Device and gateway behaviour depends on the selected hardware. We design connectivity and backup requirements around each site's operational risks.

Can limits differ by production stage?

Yes. Alert thresholds can be configured around the requirements of different houses, groups and production stages.
