The Japan Industrial Technology Research Institute, in collaboration with the University of Tokyo, has developed an innovative wireless sensor system designed for use on chicken farms. This technology is capable of detecting early signs of avian influenza in chickens by monitoring subtle changes in their body temperature and activity levels. The system is attached to the birds and continuously collects data, enabling real-time health assessments without the need for direct human intervention.
When a chicken is infected with bird flu, it typically exhibits a rise in body temperature and a decrease in movement. The sensor system uses advanced acceleration and temperature sensors to track these changes accurately. By analyzing the collected data, the system can determine if a chicken is unwell. One of the key advantages of this system is its long battery life—approximately 500 days, which aligns closely with the typical lifespan of a chicken. This makes it ideal for long-term monitoring in farm environments.
To ensure energy efficiency, researchers have developed specialized low-power circuits and activity sensors that minimize power consumption. The LSI (Large Scale Integration) chip responsible for analyzing the sensor data and determining whether a chicken is infected consumes only 320 nW, making it highly efficient and suitable for continuous operation.
According to the Production Research Institute, further improvements in the reliability of the motion sensors are necessary before the system can be widely adopted. Once these enhancements are made, the technology will be ready for practical implementation, offering a valuable tool for early disease detection and improving poultry health management on a large scale.
ORP Sensor
ORP (Oxidation-Reduction Potential) sensor, also known as ORP probe, is a device used to measure the redox potential in different water bodies. The basic principle of ORP sensor is based on the working principle of electrochemical reaction and electrode. In solution, redox reaction is completed by the transfer of electrons. When oxidants and reductants are present, they undergo redox reaction in which electrons are transferred from reductants to oxidants. In this process, the redox potential of the solution changes. ORP sensor evaluates the redox ability of the solution by measuring this potential change.
Oxidation-reduction potential (ORP), also known as REDOX potential. It is an indicator of the relative concentration of oxidants and reductants in water, reflecting the ability of molecules in aqueous solution to oxidize or reduce another molecule. The high or low ORP value is directly related to the redox state of the solution and is an important parameter in water quality analysis. ORP value is affected by many factors, including dissolved oxygen content, pH value, temperature, and various chemicals present in water. For example, water with high dissolved oxygen content usually has a higher ORP value because oxygen is a strong oxidant. Water containing a large amount of reducing substances (such as sulfide, ferrous ions, etc.) may have a lower ORP value.
In the fields of water treatment, environmental monitoring, chemical industry, etc., the monitoring of ORP value is of great significance for ensuring water quality safety and optimizing production processes. By regularly measuring the ORP value, the redox state of the water body can be understood in time, so that corresponding measures can be taken to maintain water quality stability or perform necessary treatment. It should be noted that the ORP value itself cannot directly indicate which specific oxidants or reducing agents are present in the water, and what their concentrations are. Therefore, when conducting analysis and judgment, it is also necessary to combine other water quality indicators (such as dissolved oxygen, pH value, chemical oxygen demand, etc.) for comprehensive evaluation.
