IoT-Based Chicken Manure Fertilizer Production Line Using an Electronic Nose

Purpose

Turning chicken manure into quality fertilizer is guesswork without a lab — growers can't easily tell how rich a batch is or how its value shifts as it ages. This university study set out to measure that nutrient content automatically and study how manure type and age affect crop growth.

Description

We built a production line that reads a manure batch with an electronic nose to gauge its nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium content, while environmental sensors track temperature, humidity, and soil moisture through composting. Readings stream to the web and a phone so the process can be watched from anywhere, and the system benchmarks each batch against other organic fertilizers over time. It turns a lab-grade assessment into a machine a non-specialist can run — exactly the kind of sensing-and-monitoring build we take on.
