Application of NB-IoT in animal husbandry

Application of NB-IoT in animal husbandry

Animal husbandry is mainly divided into captivity and stocking. The northern and western borders of China are the main grazing areas. The advantages of stocking are the high quality of livestock meat and the reduction of feed costs. However, there are many inconveniences in livestock management.

Artificial grazing is the most primitive and direct method, but artificial grazing has some disadvantages:

Artificial stocking requires dedicated stocking, which wastes manpower

Artificial stocking has potential safety hazards and risks of being attacked by wild animals

Artificial stocking is not good at systematic management

With the advancement of science and technology, scientific breeding will definitely become the trend of future development. The use of GPS+GPRS animal husbandry positioning system can solve this problem. However, the scale of cattle and sheep is huge, and the capacity of GPRS communication base station will be insufficient. Battery life There will also be problems. Moreover, the farms are relatively remote, and the signal coverage strength will also be problematic, which may cause the data to be unable to transmit...

The birth of NB-IoT technology perfectly solves a series of problems:

The user capacity of the communication base station can be 10 times that of GPRS,

With ultra-low power consumption, the normal communication and standby currents are mA and uA levels, and the module standby time can be as long as ten years. There is no need to replace the battery from birth to slaughter, reducing the workload of workers.

With stronger and wider signal coverage, it can truly realize normal data transmission in remote areas.

The technology really breaks through the bottleneck of GPRS technology. This technology came into being, and it has truly realized what the livestock breeders want, and it will definitely shine in the huge animal husbandry industry.
