“…Madona, E. et al [8,9] developed a temperature monitoring system that offers low reading errors and enables fast remote communication through the use of LoRa technology. To address the challenge of transmitting large amounts of monitoring data from multiple points in a piggery, many scholars have utilized wireless communication technologies such as ZigBee, WIFI, and LoRa to establish a multi-hop selforganizing network for continuous monitoring of environmental parameters [10][11][12][13][14][15]. The principle of the environmental monitoring system in livestock houses, such as cowsheds and chicken sheds, is similar to that of piggeries.…”

To improve environmental quality in enclosed piggeries, a monitoring and control system was designed based on a track inspection robot. The system includes a track mobile monitoring platform, an environmental control system, and a monitor terminal. The track mobile monitoring platform consists of three main components: a single-track motion device, a main box containing electronic components, and an environmental sampling device. It is capable of detecting various environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity, NH3 concentration, CO2 concentration, light intensity, H2S concentration, dust concentration, and wind speed at different heights below the track. Additionally, it can control on-site environmental control equipment such as lighting systems, ventilation systems, temperature control systems, and manure cleaning systems. The networked terminal devices enable real-time monitoring of field equipment operating status. An adaptive fuzzy PID control algorithm is embedded in the system to regulate the temperature of the piggery. Field tests conducted on a closed nursery piggery revealed that the system effectively controlled the maximum temperature range within 2 °C. The concentrations of CO2, NH3, and PM2.5 were maintained at a maximum of 1092 mg∙m−3, 16.8 mg∙m−3, and 35 μg∙m−3, respectively. The light intensity ranged from 51 to 57 Lux, while the wind speed remained stable at approximately 0.35 m∙s−1. The H2S concentration was significantly lower than the standard value, and the lowest relative humidity recorded was 18% RH at high temperatures. Regular humidification is required in closed piggeries and other breeding places when the system does not trigger the wet curtain humidification and cooling function, as the relative humidity is lower than the standard value. By controlling the temperature, the system combined with a humidification device can meet environmental requirements. The control method is simple and effective, with a wide range of applications, and holds great potential in the field of agricultural environmental control.

The environment of a closed piggery is commonly characterized by spatial unevenness, and there are currently no specific standards for installation points of various environmental monitoring sensors. Therefore, the project team used the hanging track inspection robot (HTIR) as an environmental mon-itoring platform to seek the environmental monitoring points and ensure the scientific layout of moni-toring points. Ansys-CFD software was used to study the change rules of environmental parameters at 1.6 m (α plane), 0.7 m (β plane), and 0.4 m (γ plane) above the ground. The 300 monitoring points ((x1~x30) ×(y1~y10)) in each plane were analyzed to determine the most suitable monitoring points and inspection routes for HTIR. The results showed that: (1) All monitoring points could be arranged directly below the y3 track. (2) Monitoring points (x1, y3), (x10, y3) and (x30, y3) were environmental feature points. At (x1, y3), the maximum relative humidity and NH3 concentration on the α plane could be detected, and the maximum wind speed, maximum temperature, and maximum NH3 concentration on other planes could also be detected; At (x10, y3), the minimum temperature and maximum relative humidity of the β and γ planes could be detected; At (x30, y3), the maximum NH3 concentration in the α plane and the minimum relative humidity in all planes could be detected. This study scientifically arranged the inspection track and monitoring points for HTIR, improved the accuracy of environmental monitoring, and put forward suggestions for reducing NH3 concentration in closed piggeries, laying the foundation for the next step.
