E-Farm is an Internet of Things (IoT)-based innovation developed by the Center of Excellence PUI-PT Intelligent Sensing-IoT (IS-IoT) at Telkom University, supported by RISS (Research and Innovation for Smart Society). The system is designed to help poultry farmers monitor coop conditions in real time and automatically, making farm management more efficient, precise, and modern.
Until now, monitoring coop temperature and humidity has often been done manually, requiring significant time and effort and posing the risk of delayed detection when environmental conditions are unfavorable. E-Farm addresses this problem by integrating hardware and software into a single, unified system.
Technically, E-Farm is equipped with temperature and humidity sensors installed inside the coop. These sensors read environmental conditions in real time and send the data to an ESP32 microcontroller for processing. Based on this information, the system activates relay drivers that control devices such as fans or heaters to maintain optimal coop conditions. The data is then transmitted via Wi-Fi to a server and displayed on an Android application, allowing farmers to monitor the coop’s conditions anytime and anywhere.
The E-Farm application features a data visualization dashboard that displays temperature and humidity graphs over weekly, monthly, or quarterly periods, complete with average values. The app also provides a list of active IoT devices in each coop, making it easier to manage multiple locations simultaneously.
With its practical design, consisting of a control panel box, sensors, and a wireless data connection system, E-Farm not only enhances livestock productivity and welfare but also supports the digital transformation of the farming sector toward a more sustainable and intelligent system.
