Internet of Things for indoor environment monitoring of swiftlet farms

Abstract

The swiftlet farming industry has reached billions of dollars in value, due to the high demand of edible swiftlet bird nest. Referred as "caviar of the east", edible bird nests (EBN) are produced by swiftlets from their saliva that are built from high and dark corners of natural limestones caves. Man-made swiftlet houses which closely resemble natural cave habitats have been constructed as breeding structures for swiftlets, to east the process of harvesting the raw EBN.
