Design Considerations of a Monitoring System of a Farm for Energy Efficiency Purposes

The monitoring of industry processes can optimize the use of resources and improve its efficiency. In dairy farms, several parameters from the processes must be monitored. This paper proposes the design of a monitoring system for a farm that produces dairy products and jams. Several similar studies are analysed. Based on this, and on the farm characteristics, a novel design is developed. The principal benefits of the system are also exposed.
