ISAC Intelligent Sensor for Autonomous Cleaning in livestock buildings
The overall objective of ISAC is to develop an intelligent sensor system that, combined with an autonomous cleaning system, will carry out the cleaning between batches in livestock buildings. The system will improve the work environment, secure the hygienic standard and optimise use of cleaning resources in animal production houses. The development and introduction of intelligent sensor technology in animal houses will ensure, that Danish pig housing technology maintains its competitive edge on the world marked. Industrialisation of pig production throughout the world and an increased focus on work environment, food safety and protection of natural resources has created a large world-wide potential for intelligent cleaning systems, adapted specifically to livestock buildings.
