Development of Hen Eggs Smart Incubator for Hatching System Based on Internet of Things

For hen breeders, hatching eggs in large quantities is a production problem, when they are incubated by hens. This paper describes the development of an intelligent system for a hen egg incubator. This incubation system, based on Arduino, LabVIEW, Google Firebase and MIT App Inventor can control temperature, humidity and egg rotation automatically. In addition, the system can help farmers to monitor the intelligent incubator remotely. Successful hatched hen eggs are typically around 87.55%, 0.41 % hatched defectively, 1.84% hatched but die at birth, and 10.20 % not hatched, so an intelligent temperature and humidity control system can improve the successful hatching rate. The objective of this system is not to offer it for sale, but to make it available for researchers and farmers so that they can replicate it and carry out experiments. In order to do this, the system was kept as simple as possible.
