Technology
Big data: the raw material of the 21th century
Sensors: smaller, faster, cheaper, more accurate
Sending data via wireless sensor networks (IoT)
Measuring climate, odor, dust, noise, air pressure, water
Controlling ammonia concentration controls frequency manure scraping
Sharing and compare with other companies (benchmark)
Google datacenter
Technology – Real time- Online
Sensors measure every 10 minutes
• Temperature • Humidity • Air pressure • Wind direction and velocity • Noise • CO2, NH3, H2S • Volatile organic compounds • Dust (every hour) • Water usage • Water quality (optical)
Weather online
Inclusive prediction
Every 60 minutes

Big data, also in soccer!
Applying big data in soccer
Game analysis journalists
Analysis own team / opponent
Individual guidance players
Step from data to relevant information not obvious!
1. Estimating players’ potential
2. Analysis ball possession (defenders)
3. Goal attempt: chance of succes
“Expected Goals”: which team has the best scoring opportunities?
Prediction 2017
From big data to relevant information
It is not about the amount of data, but about timely and good quality information

Average of Temperatuur (°C) Average of Luchtvochtigheid (%) Average of CO2 (Koolstofdioxide) (ppm)
Last 7 days Almost all temperature differences okay - humidity almost always okay - many CO2 measurements acceptable
Last 4 weeks Almost all temperature differences okay - humidity almost always okay - some CO2 measurements too high, pretty much acceptable

Adjust in time
• Continuous measurement makes things immediately visible
• Alerts when exceeded limit values
Effect actions immediately visible
• Manure pumping causes peak in H2S concentration
Determine cause problems
• Check for temperature setting
• Effect vaccination visible on water consumption
• Source odor nuisance (wind direction)

Applications
Data is and will be an important tool for keeping animals
Timely adjustments and also analyzing
Coughing piglets in farrowing unit and by weaned piglets after beautiful days end of February.
Temperature not too low early in the morning or too high in the afternoon?
You can learn a lot from data, but they must be presented in a well-arranged manner
In the future real-time data also used as online evidence for certificates and permits
Experiences and results
Experiences
Works easily
Install sensors and dashboard quickly and easily
Good connectivity in the stable
You will only see it when you can see it!
But always keep using your common sense
Results
Improve climate in the stable
• Effect actions and adjustments immediately visible
• Attentions make timely adjustments possible
New insights make you think
Sensor technology still in development

Users on measuring climate
“Especially the humidity is interesting, just like the CO2 values. It is a nice system, very special that this is possible”
“When I did notice on the dashboard that CO2 was too high, I increased the minimum ventilation 5 to 10% to lower the CO2.”
“I succeeded in getting the CO2-values to the level I wanted it to be by adjusting the ventilation settings and making the air inlet smaller.“
