IoT Based Cattle Monitoring System

Internet of Things (IoT) is an evolutionary as well as emerging concept which is in one of the pioneering positions in the transformation of the real-time objects (things) into smart components. It finds its place in a wide range of application domains such as smart grid, healthcare, defence, agriculture, etc. This technology has been successful in creating revolutionary solutions in agriculture in the form of creating artificial greenhouses, precision farming as well as monitoring of livestock. In this article, a novel long range wide area network (LoRaWAN) cattle monitoring and tracking system (CMTS) is proposed which assures a framework that is operated wirelessly over radio frequency having long ranges and lower power consumption. This device not only enables to locate the animal in an unknown area but also proved support in terms of monitoring the vital conditions of the same. The information accumulated by the device is transmitted to the cloud-based server which could be accessed through mobile application for identifying health abnormalities of the animal or location coordinates of the same.
