ENGINEERING students and faculty of the Central Luzon State University developed an Automated and Real-Time Monitoring System to be installed and used in the university’s Tunnel-Type Broiler Production Project.

The ARTMOS technology, which can help improve the productivity and profitability of poultry farms, is one of the initiatives of the university in keeping up with the digital world in agriculture.

It specializes in monitoring the important parameters in the broiler production system such as temperature, humidity, feeding rate, frequency of feeding, water supply and voltage of power supply.

“The technology will include features like an alert system via mobile phones that will remind personnel to refill the containers for feeds, vitamins, antibiotics,” the university said.

“The alert system will send information to its corresponding application or website that can be easily installed on mobile phones,” it added.

Engr. Roldan Quitos led the development of ARTMOS along with Ivan Christian Salinas, John Vincent Nate, Daryl Espino, Genalyn Sebbey. They collaborated with students taking BS in Information Technology and BS in Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering.

Last month, the group showcased their invention and sought the feedback of CLSU President Dr. Edgar Orden, Vice President for R&E Dr. Armando Espino Jr. and former URPO Director Dr. Maria Exclesis Orden.
