Design and Implementation of a Web Platform Prototype Based an IoT Gateway Using Raspberry Pi for Livestock Monitoring

Currently, the increase in internet-connected devices deployed around the world has generated exponential growth in technological advances, such as in the industrial and domestic sectors. Consequently, the integration of the Internet of Things (IoT) has introduced the term Industry 4.0, allowing an ideal connection from the end devices (EDs) to enterprise-level systems. On the other hand, the development of powerful low-cost wireless technologies and long-distance transmission, such as LPWAN (Low Power Wide Area Network), have made it possible to manage the development of Smart Agriculture applications. For instance, a remote monitoring system of physiological parameters in animals, which aims to prevent diseases, and generate sustainable livestock in the environmental and economic aspect. In this work, we propose a web platform prototype for livestock monitoring implemented with LoRa (Long Range) technology and a controller that hosts a server on an inexpensive single board computer such as the Raspberry Pi. This platform allows monitoring of key parameters such as GPS signal and temperature through two EDs. Which use a plate with LoRa/GPS communication and a temperature sensor that allows to visualize the geolocation and health of the cattle.
