    Entwicklung, Implementierung und Bewertung eines IT-Systems zur Prozessdokumentation und -unterstützung in der landwirtschaftlichen Nutztierhaltung
    (2010) Kuhlmann, Arne; Jungbluth, Thomas
    In livestock farming, the use of automation technology is common. Automation technology is able to perform sub-processes, whereby the farmer is supported in his daily work. The data produced by this technology is usually monitored manually. The same applies to the collection of process parameters such as resource consumption and climate data. Therefore overall process monitoring and process documentation require high workload. Caused by structural change and the demand for food safety and traceability, livestock farming needs to introduce information technology. This document is dealing with the topics collection, storage, usage and exchange of data on farms and in their environment using the example of pig fattening. A stable for fattening pigs was used to analyse the conditions, requirements and implementation options for achieving the objectives process documentation and process support. Based on the conclusions drawn, a prototype was developed, that focuses on the full integration of all technical components in the stable using communication and data standards. Besides the presentation and evaluation of the system, concrete benefits for science and practice are presented using selected examples. Furthermore possibilities for improvements regarding the used technologies and standards are pointed out.
