Abstract
An approach for maintaining industrial livestock infrastructure is disclosed. The approach utilizes digital twin computing to create a digital copy of biological and non-biological assets of a livestock production unit/facility (e.g., aquaculture, sericulture, dairy industry, meat industry, etc.) to improve the efficiency and reduce cost associated with the production of livestock. The usage of digital twins removes fundamental constraints concerning place, time, and human observation. Instead of control based on direct observation of physical objects, which requires physical proximity, digital twins enable remote control of livestock operations coupled with IoT sensors. This allows for the decoupling of physical flows from information aspects of farm operations.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method for maintaining industrial livestock infrastructure, the computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving data associated with a livestock infrastructure;
- generating a digital twin copy of the livestock infrastructure based on the received data;
- generating livestock result data based on simulating one or more livestock scenarios associated with the digital twin copy;
- analyzing the livestock result data;
- creating an action plan based on analysis;
- and
- outputting the action plan.
A computer program product for maintaining industrial livestock infrastructure, the computer program product comprising:
- one or more computer readable storage media and program instructions stored on the one or more computer readable storage media, the program instructions comprising:
- program instructions to receive data associated with a livestock infrastructure;
- program instructions to generate a digital twin copy of the livestock infrastructure based on the received data;
- program instructions to generate livestock result data based on simulating one or more livestock scenarios associated with the digital twin copy;
- program instructions to analyze the livestock result data;
- program instructions to create an action plan based on analysis;
- and
- program instructions to output the action plan.
A computer system for maintaining industrial livestock infrastructure, the computer system comprising:
- one or more computer processors;
- one or more computer readable storage media;
