HYBRID SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT IN AGRICULTURAL APPLICATIONS
20240407319 · 2024-12-12 ·

The invention relates to a self-sustainable environment regulation system that utilizes heat energy dissipated from energy-intensive facilities, such as data centers, AI systems, and crypto-mining operations. This system is designed for use in controlled environments, including greenhouses and livestock housing, such as poultry coops for broiler and egg production. By harnessing excess heat from these facilities, the system provides effective temperature regulation for agricultural applications, promoting optimal conditions for plant growth and livestock welfare. The system comprises a closed-loop setup that integrates the heat energy with autonomous temperature control mechanisms, ensuring efficient and sustainable management of the environment.

Hybrid LED lighting method and system for chicken coops

The present disclosure discloses a hybrid LED lighting method and system for chicken coops. For example, a closed or semi-open chicken coop is provided with the hybrid LED lightings including white LED beads and yellow LED beads in a mixing ratio of about 1:5 to about 5:1 in a regularly alternating manner. The average light intensity on the chicken cages' underside exposed to the light of the hybrid LED lighting is about 5 to about 30 Lux. The closed chicken coop is lit by a hybrid LED lighting every day during fattening period; the semi-open chicken coop is exposed to natural light in the daytime and lit by the hybrid LED lighting at night during fattening period. Implementation of the present disclosure improves growth of chickens, increases uniformity of chickens, and improves health and resistance to epidemic diseases.

12446555 · 2025-10-21 ·

A system for monitoring a hen house for raising hens and collecting eggs is described. The system includes a controller, a plurality of sensors for receiving sensor data of the hen house, and a plurality of actuators for performing commands. The controller includes a processor configured to execute operations of receiving the sensor data. Given sensor data and a set of predetermined rules, the present technology generates trend data. The trend data indicates a state of the hen house and an estimation of next steps needed to raise the hens and to collect hens. The present technology includes generating dashboard data for displaying the state to a user using a client device. The system further includes determining a command for respective actuators of the hen house to execute. The actuators execute the commands to enable users in non-industrial, private settings to raise hens and collect eggs.
