2022: Production Launch Plan

A company from the Special Economic Zone (SEZ) Technopolice Moscow is preparing for serial production of components for the Smart Farm cattle monitoring system. This was announced on November 7, 2022 by the head of the Department of Investment and Industrial Policy, which is part of the Complex of Economic Policy and Property and Land Relations of the capital, Vladislav Ovchinsky.

"Smart Farm" was developed by specialists from NTI the Sensorika Competence Center on the basis of the National Research University. "MIET

In 2022, the JSC «Proton» plant will launch a line of components for the Smart Farm, which will monitor the condition of animals: temperature, diet, drinking and sleep, as well as the condition of some internal organs. The system proposed by Russian scientists was tested in real conditions, it was tested for 1.5 months on a farm in the Sverdlovsk region, - said Vladislav Ovchinsky.

The main element of the system is a sealed capsule with sensors. The animal swallows it, it remains in the stomach and fixes all the necessary parameters. The system also includes a limp sensor that monitors the movement of animals using the navigation module. It is important that the animal does not experience unpleasant sensations.

According to the developers, Smart Farm will cost significantly cheaper than foreign counterparts, help optimize the costs of farmers, increase the yield from each cow by 2-3 liters per day and control the quality of milk. Information from the sensors is transmitted to the operator's computer via the base station.

As a result, we will put base stations with enhanced dust and moisture protection into mass production, because the farm has an increased concentration of various contaminants. After the tests, we decided to produce components for the device at the JSC «Proton» plant, since over the years of cooperation the company has demonstrated professionalism and performed high-quality work, "said Vladimir Zhmylev, an employee of the Sensorika NTI Competence Center, assistant at the Institute of Microdrills and Control Systems of the National Research University of MIET.

Work on the creation of the "Smart Farm" was completed at MIET at the end of 2021. Before testing in real conditions, she underwent all the necessary experimental procedures. Tests at the farm helped scientists refine its functionality to accurately assess the performance and quality of communication with the base station. Eight cows participated in the experiment.

At the beginning of 2023, a significant event is planned: the JSC «Proton» plant will expand production 1.5 times: Moscow a production complex with an area of ​ ​ more than 5.5 thousand square meters will be launched at the MIET site of a special economic zone. scientific The production sites of the enterprise will also be located there, - said the general director of the SEZ "Technopolice Moscow."
