Abstract

Recently, the research, utilizing bio and environment sensors in agricultural and cattle industries, are drawing attention among the various IT convergence technologies. Among such research IT convergence techniques which aim to improve the quality of cattle industry management are necessary in particular. Real-time monitoring of the cattles health condition, identification of the cause of the diseases and timely response to such epidemic based on IT convergence techniques are among them. In order to achieve the better management of cattle industry, we propose a cattles management system which based on various bio environment sensors and wireless network technologies. The system consists of wireless environmental sensor data acquisition nodes, sensor data processing nodes, the gateway and the server. The proposed system is able to actively monitor the cattle field, to respond quickly in the case of massive cattle diseases and to control the environment of the cattle fields. We believe the proposed system will demonstrate the successful application of IT technologies to an applied field such as farming industries because of real-time crisis management capability in case of epidemic and optimal management of cattle industry.

다양한 IT융합기술 분야 중 바이오 및 환경센서를 활용한 농축산 산업분야에 관한 연구가 최근 주목받고 있다. 그중 축산산업의 질적 향상을 위한 방법으로 IT기술융합이 절실히 요구되고 있다. 특히, 축산물에 대한 실시간 건강산태 모니터링, 질병발생시 원인 파악 및 즉각적인 향후 대처방안 수립 등이 이에 해당된다. 이에 본 논문에서는 무선 센서 네트워크 기반에서의 축산산업 분야에서 축사 환경 모니터링 및 환경개선 시스템을 제안한다. 제안된 시스템은 축사의 무선 환경정보 수집 노드, 환경개선 노드, 축사 게이트웨이, 서버로 구성되어 대규모 축산산업 환경 모니터링과 환경개선이 가능하여 상황에 따른 능동적인 대응 및 가축의 최적 생활 요건과 질병발생시 환경에 따른 정보의 실시간 수집 및 최적 환경제어가 가능하다. 제안된 시스템을 활용하면, 집단 폐사와 같은 재해에 실시간 대응 및 가축관리의 최적 생활요건을 제공함으로써 축산 산업분야의 IT 융합기술의 성공적인 적용이 가능하다고 판단된다.
