Incubator, Inductive heating, Renewable energy, Temperature, Humidity, GSMAbstract
A significant expansion in recent years has been seen in several agricultural subsectors, including poultry farming, which is an essential component of this expansion. Despite this, the business sector has observed a growing concern about incubation. The goal of the current project is to build a prototype of an intelligent and automated incubator that uses an inductive heating system powered by renewable energy. A microcontroller is used inside the incubator to monitor and maintain the appropriate temperature and humidity levels in the space within the device. In order to perform calibration, data logging, and analysis, a GSM module was built. After extensive testing, it was concluded that the new system provides efficiency and dependability to the poultry farming industry.
