The Qingdao EJOY collaborative IoT platform for the agriculture and livestock industry features an integrated hardware and software solution and is natively designed for on-site farming operations. It is tailored for large-scale livestock and poultry farming operations, such as pig farms and chicken farms, and supports project delivery both domestically and internationally.
1. 1+N+N Unified Architecture (“Only One System”)
A unified data foundation connects to N types of on-site terminals (environmental controllers, sensors, feed and water lines, fans, electricity meters, etc.) and interfaces with N business modules; multi-level permission management spans the group, individual farms, and individual barns, with a single headquarters dashboard providing a comprehensive overview of all farm data.

2. Integrated Hardware-Software Closed-Loop System with In-House Developed Core Controls
Equipped with in-house developed environmental control hosts, sensors, and actuators—not merely a platform for integrating third-party devices; local controllers support offline autonomous environmental control, ensuring uninterrupted operation during network outages and automatic data synchronization upon reconnection, making it ideal for farms with unstable network conditions kcxd-tech....
3. Comprehensive Data Collection
Unified collection of temperature, humidity, ammonia, CO₂, pressure differential, air velocity, water line pressure, feed line status, energy consumption, equipment status, video feeds, and production logs. Data is transmitted via multiple 4G and wired channels, with real-time graphs and full historical data retention for the entire batch, enabling traceability and review.

4. Closed-Loop Management of Alerts and Work Orders
Early warnings for threshold exceedances, equipment failures, and trend anomalies (via app, SMS, and platform notifications); alerts automatically generate work orders, which are assigned, resolved, and verified with a complete audit trail, forming a traceable, closed-loop operations and maintenance process to minimize missed resolutions.
5. Livestock Rearing Algorithms + Data-Driven Self-Learning
Based on algorithms for livestock and poultry growth cycles, the system automatically matches ventilation, temperature control, and feeding plans to different ages; data analysis helps optimize the feed-to-meat ratio, which has been proven to reduce feed waste and improve feed conversion rates.

6. Remote Management + Biosecurity-Friendly
Remotely view, adjust parameters, and start/stop environmental control equipment via smartphone or computer; this reduces the frequency of personnel entering the facility, lowering the risk of cross-transmission of diseases—a key advantage in the early-stage large-scale adoption of this system by pig farms.

7. Integration of Production and Operations
More than just environmental monitoring, the system integrates environmental control, feeding, energy consumption, inventory, shipments, and cost statistics, extending from environmental data to operational metrics to facilitate group-wide calculation of farming costs.
