Design and Development of an Automated Quail Feeding System Using IoT Technology and Nutrient Mixing
Keywords:
Automation, Internet of Things, Quail Feed, Nutrient Mixing, Feeding EfficiencyAbstract
This study aims to design an automated quail feeding system based on the Internet of Things (IoT) integrated with a nutrient mixing system. The system uses an ultrasonic sensor to monitor feed levels and four servo motors to control the input, mixing, and distribution flow automatically. Test results show that the system works as designed, with centralized control via a microcontroller and stable servo responses. The most optimal nutrient mixing is achieved at a duration of 150 seconds, resulting in an evenly mixed output. The entire process runs automatically with real-time monitoring. The system can deliver feed on time with an average delay of 3–4 seconds and a dosage error rate of 1–3%, still within a tolerance of ±5 grams. Therefore, this system is effective, precise, and suitable for small-scale use, with the potential to be further developed for large-scale farming.
