APPLICATION OF THE TRACKING AND INSPECTION SYSTEM FOR PIG TRANSPORTATION IN NAKHON PATHOM PROVINCE

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to study the appropriate information technology format
for monitoring and tracking pig transportation and to design a device for reducing pig
temperature during the transportation process by writing a timing program and using sensors
to measure temperature. The results of the simulated weather experiment during the pig
transportation period were from 4: 00 a. m. to 12: 00 p. m. with a temperature range of 25–40
degrees Celsius. Using a timed system for the operation of the fog pump every 30 minutes,
during the low- temperature period, the pump system will not be instructed to operate.
However, during the high-temperature period, the timing system will instruct the water pump
to operate for the specified time of 5, 7, and 10 minutes. The fog was sprayed to reduce the
temperature for 10 minutes. In order for the operation to be suitable for the transportation
period, a design has been made to spray water according to the transportation time from start
to destination. Starting with the no spray system and spraying for 5, 7, and 10 minutes at
intervals, the temperature inside the pen decreased, with a minimum value of 24.38 °C and a
maximum temperature of 31. 41 °C. The average temperature of the entire transportation
system is 26.14 °C.
