four zones · climate-critical + biosecurity.
A poultry or pork shed has four operational fronts: per-shed critical climate (T+RH+CO₂+NH₃), access biosecurity + perimeter, feed + silos + water, energy + generator. Any failure in climate or biosecurity can destroy the whole shed in hours.
per-shed critical climate
Multi-parameter temperature + humidity + CO₂ sensor per shed + zonal ammonia sensor (1-2 points per large shed at highest-concentration zone, correlation with CO₂ + ventilation). Continuous optimal ambient conditions calculation per age/weight of lot. Poultry: 18-26 °C per age. Pork: 18-22 °C adults, 30 °C piglets. Automatic ventilation + curtains + climate.
biosecurity + perimeter
Door sensor on critical access (personnel entry, bird/pig entry, feed unloading) + PIR perimeter sensor + people counter at access. Immutable record of who entered, when, duration. Anti-virus escape + SENASICA traceability.
feed + water
Ultrasonic level sensor in feed silos + water cistern level sensor + current meter on pumps + conveyor screws. Scheduled reorder · zero feed halt · zero dehydration.
energy + generator
main-panel meter + per-shed sub-metering · CFE GDMTO PF analysis. Generator with current meter + diesel sensor + generator-room temperature. Fans + pumps always operational — a single blackout without generator = massive loss.
Out of scope: individual per-bird/pig monitoring with RFID or wearables. AstreaIoT monitors FACILITIES (sheds, silos, water, generator, perimeter). Compatible with existing biosecurity systems and Bachoco/Sigma/SuKarne supply chain audits.
what we protect · what we prevent.
- +Continuous optimal per-shed climate · ventilation + curtains + climate adjusted
- +Access biosecurity audited · outbreak prevented · supply chain audits backed
- +Feed silos + water without surprises · uninterrupted operation
- +Generator always ready · operational fans in blackout · zero mass mortality
- +SENASICA + Bachoco/Sigma/SuKarne audit with continuous data
- ✕Summer ventilation failure = mass mortality (thousands of birds/pigs in hours)
- ✕Sanitary outbreak from failed biosecurity · whole shed culled · total loss
- ✕Feed silo empties without warning · fasting + productive stress
- ✕Generator off in blackout · fans drop · mass mortality
- ✕Supply chain audit with observations · Bachoco/Sigma contract at risk
eight use cases · four critical areas.
for the shed manager.
Shed Manager + Veterinarian. Two cases · temperature out of optimal range per age/weight, NH₃ ammonia accumulating in pork shed. Production + animal welfare protected.
for the biosecurity lead.
Biosecurity Lead + SENASICA. Two cases · unauthorized personnel access to shed (virus risk), uncovered nighttime perimeter (rustlers + wild animals). Documented biosecurity.
for the feed lead.
Feed Lead + Operator. Two cases · feed silo empties without warning, water leaves overnight. Uninterrupted operation.
for the operations director.
Operations Director + Commercial Director. Two cases · generator off in blackout (fans drop), Bachoco/Sigma supply-chain audit without traceability. Critical operation + contract protected.
three compliances · one platform covers all three.
For integrators (Bachoco, Sigma, SuKarne) with contract farms, cross-farm dashboard with per-farm efficiency and supply chain compliance ranking.
from sensor to report · every five minutes · without human intervention
Five steps. They run in parallel across all your sites, all the time. When something crosses a threshold, the flow completes in under five minutes — alert delivered, response logged, inspector-ready evidence captured.
measure
Sensors measure temperature, humidity, current, door-open, leak and other magnitudes every five minutes — no operator required.
detect
The system compares each reading against the threshold configured per recipe · per site · per equipment. Threshold crossing triggers the flow.
alert
The alert routes to the right person via WhatsApp, email or push · per role and schedule configured.
respond
The operator acts from the dashboard or mobile app. The corrective action goes into an immutable log with timestamp + signature.
audit
Everything becomes part of the audit package · time series, critical events, corrective actions, NOM report ready in two clicks.
Five steps · no manual operators · no paperwork · no gaps.
five phases · per farm.
site survey
1-2 daysTechnical visit + inventory of sheds, silos, cisterns, critical access, generator · per-shed plan + biosecurity.
physical installation
2-3 daysmulti-parameter climate sensor + T+H per shed + zonal ammonia sensor (1-2 points per large shed) + silo level + cistern level + pump CT + access + perimeter + generator + gateway with backup · without affecting biosecurity (technician follows protocols).
configuration + calibration
1-2 daysPer-species profile (poultry vs pork) + per-age/weight of lot · WhatsApp alerts + automatic ventilation · Bachoco/Sigma/SuKarne templates · SENASICA.
team training
1 dayShed Manager + Veterinarian + Biosecurity + Feed + Operations Director · each role trains on their flow.
30 days of support + first productive cycle
30 daysAstreaIoT specialist available · first monthly SENASICA + supply chain report · first supply chain audit backed.
For integrators (Bachoco, Sigma, SuKarne) with contract farm network, per-farm deployment with monthly waves · cross-farm standardization.
common questions · before the quote.
how do we measure NH₃ in pork sheds?
Zonal ammonia sensor per shed (placed in the highest-concentration zone — typically 1-2 points per large shed) + continuous correlation with CO₂ and ventilation pattern. The approach is monitoring + corrective activation — WhatsApp alert on sustained threshold breach, reinforced automatic ventilation. Recommended calibration every 12 months with standard calibration kit. For farms that require a certified NH₃ detector for a specific STPS zone, we offer integration with dedicated industrial systems via our Modbus bridge pattern — ask at quote time if your STPS audit requires specific certification.
does it integrate with shed control systems (Big Dutchman, Roxell, Munters)?
Yes · via Custom Integration. Compatible with commercial shed control systems. Climate + biosecurity data feeds central system · coordinated remote ventilation.
what about farms in rural zones without internet?
Gateway with cellular backhaul or solar for farms in rural zones without own Ethernet. Works where Wi-Fi does not reach.
is biosecurity respected during installation?
Yes · technician complies with farm biosecurity protocols (clothing change, sanitary shower, equipment quarantine). Sensors are external to sheds (mounted on structure) · zero contact with birds/pigs.
is the supply chain audit report pre-formatted?
Yes · pre-configured templates for Bachoco, Sigma, SuKarne + generic supply chain audits. Downloadable PDF with climate + biosecurity + feed + energy per shed.
is it billed per farm or per shed?
Flexible model · typically subscription per farm with tier per number of sheds (1 sensor cluster per shed). Tiered pricing per level (basic = climate; premium = climate + NH₃ + biosecurity + sub-metering).
does it integrate with SENASICA + COFEPRIS for official reporting?
Yes · pre-configured SENASICA templates + COFEPRIS reports. Official audits backed with continuous data · zero observations for insufficient documentation.
