Executive Overview30-second brief
Problem

Manual Trust & Silent Failures

Feed tracked on trust. Silent motor jams, moisture caking, and unverified deliveries caused missed feeding cycles.

Solution

Predictive IoT Digital Twin

Silo Watch telemetry paired with a physics-based AI twin that forecasts machine failure 4–12 hours before jams occur.

Impact

78% Precautionary Fixes

78% of faults auto-detected, 7–8× faster resolution SLA, and zero missed feeding cycles across all poultry sheds.

01 — OPERATIONAL PAIN POINTS

The Problems We Solved

Feed is ~70% of poultry running cost. Tap each failure point to see what was going wrong.

Tanker discharge was never reconciled against actual silo fill — shrinkage and billing gaps went unnoticed.Delivery Verification
Auger motors jammed without warning; no one knew until a physical round hours later.
Chicken Feeder Mechanism
Feeder Motor Line⤢
Motor Telemetry
Condensation on inside walls caked feed into hard clumps. Moisture over 14% grew mould before anyone noticed.Environmental Sensors
Workers thumped silo walls with fists to estimate fill. Silos ran dry mid-shift; emergency truckloads cost a premium.
Grain Silos at Client Facility
Feed Silo Structure⤢
Level Telemetry
When one shed underfed, birds suffered uneven growth. By the time it showed up on the weight scales, yield was already lost.Consumption Analytics
A blocked nipple line or pump drop starved birds of water. Within hours of dehydration, hens stopped laying.Flow Telemetry
Manual dilution in header tanks led to under-dosing or waste. Zero timestamped proof of veterinary compliance.Dosage Verification
02 — SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE & DATA PIPELINE

Where Our Layer Comes In

Five stages turn a raw sensor reading into an action on the farm. Node on the left, what happens on the right.

L1 · EdgeField Sensorsevery 1–5 s
Retrofit probes read fill, moisture, load and motor vibration; the edge chip sends only meaningful changes.
L2 · IngestionMQTT Broker< 50 ms
Every reading streams to the cloud in under 50 ms, timestamped and bound to its asset ID.
L3 · AI TwinPredictive Brainlive + rolling window
The digital twin compares live data to healthy baselines and flags drift before it becomes failure.
L4 · ConsoleOps Dashboardreal-time
One live web view of every silo and shed, on any device, with no per-seat cost.
L5 · DispatchAuto-Ticketingon fault / AI risk
A ticket opens itself and a coverage feeder is dispatched in parallel — the flock never misses a cycle.
03 — MACHINE LEARNING INTELLIGENCE

How the AI Predicts a Breakdown

Three live signals feed one model. It reads them against a healthy baseline and calls the failure hours early.

01

Motor current drift

Amp draw creeps 3–7% above baseline as friction builds.

02

Moisture rate of rise

Not the level — the speed humidity is climbing.

03

Consumption vs. flock

Feed used per bird per hour against age and headcount.

Predictive AI twin

The model reads all three at once

A time-series model (anomaly detection + regression) scores how far live behaviour has drifted from the asset's healthy curve, and estimates hours-to-failure.

→ precautionary ticket opened 4–12 h early

05 — DATA INTEGRITY & AUDIT

3-Step Verified Feed Entry

Three people sign a delivery before the weight locks into the ledger — no more paper slips or trust estimates.

SILO-01 // Bulk Storage & Delivery Intake⤢
Physical Intake Gantry & 18-Ton Bulk Feed SiloActive Telemetry

This is where bulk feed vehicles arrive, dock, and discharge tons of poultry grain directly into the vertical storage silo. Silo Watch's load-cell instrumentation reconciles gross vs. tare weight in real-time, eliminating delivery theft and invoice discrepancies.

06 — AUTOMATED OPERATIONAL PROTOCOL

The Fault-to-Fix Loop

When something breaks, the repair and the coverage feeder are dispatched at the same time — not one after the other.

1
Detect · t+0s

Anomaly Triggered

A sensor metric or AI predictive-drift score crosses threshold — moisture >14%, a motor vibration spike, or dispensed weight missing scheduled conveyor output by >15%.

2
Auto · t+2s

Priority Ticket Auto-Opened

The system pins the exact silo and shed, attaches the telemetry delta, and tags an urgency risk level — with no human keystroke.

Runs in parallel — non-blocking
3
Notify

Supervisor Alerted with Diagnosis

The farm supervisor gets a push alert carrying the sensor logs, root-cause diagnosis, and recommended fix.

4
Dispatch

Coverage Worker Auto-Assigned

A manual-feeding worker is dispatched to cover the flock while the silo is down — the birds never wait on the repair.

5
Resolved

Ticket Closes on Verified Repair

The technician completes the repair, the sensor confirms normal dispensing, the ticket auto-closes, and manual feeding stands down.
