Smart Universal Automated Incubator System

Abstract

This project outlines the design and development of the Smart Universal Automated Incubator System, which is called EggSync 360, which is a high-precision, industrial- grade incubation system developed to be a high-precision system. It is designed to allow the system to overcome the constraints of traditional and current incubators with a combination of high performance sensory technologies, intelligent automation, and IoT- based monitoring to reach a much higher level of hatching accuracy and operation efficiency. EggSync 360 has several environmental monitors such as temperature, humidity, oxygen, and gas detectors that monitor the incubation conditions at all times accurately. The microcontroller of the system is an ESP32 which processes real-time data, controls the environment, supports wireless communication, and provides safety mechanisms of the system. Its most prominent features are automated circulation of air, using physics-based calculations, a dedicated heating chamber to avoid direct exposure to heat, UV sterilization, HEPA filtration system, in-built cooling and ventilation mechanisms, and automated control of gasses to preserve the optimal air quality. The incubator also accommodates other types of eggs and it will dynamically change its settings depending on the type of species chosen.
