Towards CPS/IoT System for Livestock Smart Farm Monitoring

Cyber-physical systems (CPS) represent an information technology notion that involves the incorporation of computing properties into physical objects of all kinds, biological or artificial. These systems are called to free up human resources, increase modern production efficiency and be of great help in improving the quality of production. Sensors built into agricultural equipment, located on pastures or attached to farm animals, monitor certain parameters and send data for storage and processing. This is done to optimize decision-making processes with the help of machine learning software that can analyze large amounts of data and optimize processes in real time. The paper proposes CPS system for monitoring the environment, health, growth, behavior, reproduction, emotions and stress of animals, as well as GPS marking for tracking and counting animals using IoT devices. The system collects heterogeneous data from various sensors and communication modules and provides modelling of processes and phenomena with managing of large volumes of data and application of mathematical and computational tools in AWS Cloud.
