The meter sensor transmits instantaneous water consumption to the main unit via wireless connection. It has two pulse inputs and connects to a 230V socket.
Monitoring water consumption plays a critical role in production efficiency and flock health in poultry farming, as it does in many other sectors. Developed by Avino, the Datatracer Water Consumption Sensor records not only the total daily water usage, but also the water consumption occurring in 15-minute intervals, providing producers with the opportunity for detailed analysis.
These data are presented graphically through the user interface, delivering high value-added insights for effective flock management. The standard daily water consumption levels required for a healthy flock can be defined within the software. Instant and daily deviations between actual consumption and predefined standards help identify potential issues in the production process at an early stage.
In poultry production, changes in water consumption provide early-warning information related to many critical factors, such as:
- Feed consumption
- Intestinal health
- Febrile diseases
- Feed content and composition
With Datatracer, these deviations are monitored in real time, recorded, and easily analyzed by the producer.
The Datatracer Water Consumption Sensor directly contributes to aligning production with defined standards, maintaining flock health, and reducing productivity losses. Through regular and detailed water consumption monitoring, producers can manage their production processes in a more controlled, sustainable, and data-driven manner.
