◦ Project
A smart agricultural solution that combines IoT technology with sustainable design to improve poultry management. The system automates everyday chicken care — feeding, watering, and coop access — to ensure optimal living conditions while reducing human labor and resource use.
Key features include gravity feeders, industrial-grade water nozzles, and a Wi-Fi enabled, linearly-actuated gate controlled via Google integration. The project demonstrates the application of smart technology in agriculture, and addresses real concerns around sustainable farming and animal welfare.
