From Lab to Farm: IoT Technology Driving the Future of the Poultry Industry

The Faculty of Electrical and Electronics Engineering Technology (FTKEE), UMPSA, through the Bachelor of Industrial Electronics Automation Technology (BVI) programme, conducted an Embedded Systems and Internet of Things (IoT) Knowledge Sharing Programme with the Agrotechnology Poultry Farming community at Kolej Vokasional (Agriculture) Chenor, Maran, Pahang, under the SULAM programme.

Various innovative projects were developed and tested in the field, including the Automatic Egg Grader & Sorter, Smart Poultry System, Egg Incubation System, Water Quality Monitoring System, and Chick Brooder Monitoring System.

This direct engagement provided real-world exposure for BVI students in addressing on-site challenges, thereby strengthening their technical skills, communication abilities, and critical thinking in line with the concept of learning beyond the classroom.

This collaboration not only benefits the community but also empowers students with authentic industry experience and contributes towards the advancement of high-tech smart agriculture.
