To realize the data linkage between the electronic fence of the ranch and other systems of the ranch (such as smart weighing and GPS positioning collar), it is necessary to build a comprehensive management system that integrates data collection, transmission, processing and application display. The following is a detailed description:Data collection layerThe electronic fence locator terminal is the core equipment for data collection. It integrates a single-chip microcomputer, temperature and humidity sensor, GPS positioning sensor and LoRa communication module, and can collect the geographic location information, temperature information and humidity information of livestock in real time. These data are crucial for monitoring the activity range, health status and environmental adaptability of livestock. The intelligent weighing system obtains the weight data of livestock through pressure sensors, providing an important basis for evaluating the growth status of livestock. The GPS positioning collar continuously records the activity trajectory of livestock and provides data support for analyzing the behavior patterns of livestock.Communication transmission layerIn order to ensure the real-time and accuracy of data, a reliable communication method is required. As the hub of data transmission, the electronic fence communication relay gateway receives the data collected by the locator terminal and uploads the data to the cloud platform through the WiFi module. The intelligent weighing system and GPS positioning collar communicate directly with the cloud through the 4G/5G module to achieve instant data transmission. During the communication process, it is necessary to ensure that all devices are configured with the same communication parameters, such as LoRa's PAN ID, frequency, channel, etc., as well as the triple information of the cloud device (Product Key, Device Name, Device Secret) to ensure the stability and security of data transmission.Data Processing LayerThe cloud platform is the center of data processing and analysis. IoT platforms such as Alibaba Cloud Platform can receive, parse, store and analyze data from various devices. Through big data technology, the potential value in the data can be mined, such as combining electronic fence boundary data with GPS trajectory to determine whether livestock has crossed the boundary; comparing weighing data with feeding records in the fence area to analyze feed conversion efficiency. These analysis results can provide decision support for pasture management, helping managers optimize grazing strategies, improve feed utilization, and reduce disease risks.Application Display LayerIn order to facilitate managers to monitor and manage pastures in real time, it is necessary to develop Web visualization applications and mobile APPs. These applications can display livestock location, weight changes, fence alarms and other information in real time, and provide alarm functions. When livestock cross the boundary or have abnormal weight, the system can automatically trigger an alarm and notify managers through SMS, APP push, etc. In addition, the application can also provide historical data query, report generation and other functions to help managers fully understand the operation status of the ranch.Data linkage implementation detailsElectronic fence and GPS positioning collar linkage: By setting the boundary range of the electronic fence, when the GPS positioning collar detects that the livestock is approaching or crossing the boundary, the system can immediately issue an early warning and adjust the pulse intensity of the fence to deter the livestock from returning. At the same time, the system records the time and location of the crossing to provide managers with decision-making basis.Electronic fence and intelligent weighing linkage: Combining the feeding records and weighing data in the fence area, the system can analyze the feed conversion efficiency and evaluate the growth status of livestock. When it is found that the weight of livestock in a certain area is growing slowly, the system can recommend adjusting the fence opening time or feed delivery amount in the area to optimize the grazing strategy.Multi-system integrated linkage: Through the digital management platform, the data of electronic fences, intelligent weighing, GPS positioning collars and other systems are integrated to achieve full monitoring of ranch environment, livestock health and production management. For example, when the temperature and humidity in the fence are abnormal, the system automatically links the livestock's body temperature data to determine whether there is a disease risk, and links drones to conduct inspections to promptly detect and deal with potential problems.
