Key Features

🤖 IoT Simulator

50 Realistic Dairy Cattle with:

• Individual health states & baselines
• 5 physiological parameters generated in real-time:
  • Body Temperature (°C) - 37.5-40.5°C with circadian rhythm
  • Heart Rate (bpm) - 40-100 bpm, coupled to temperature
  • Movement Index (0-200) - activity patterns
  • Feed Intake (kg) - 0-4 kg per meal
  • Rumination Time (min) - 0-70 min

Health State Machine:

HEALTHY → SUBCLINICAL_STRESS → EARLY_DISEASE → CLINICAL_DISEASE

Realistic Features:

• ✅ 24-hour circadian rhythms (±0.3°C)
• ✅ Feeding patterns (6-9 AM, 4-7 PM peaks)
• ✅ Disease cascade progression
• ✅ Temperature-heart rate coupling
• ✅ Sensor noise (±0.1°C, ±2-3 bpm, ±5%)
• ✅ Individual variations (±10%)

🎯 Health Index Detection

• Real-time calculation (0.0-1.0 scale)
• Early disease detection (before fever)
• Risk stratification (Green/Yellow/Red)
• Automatic alerts
• Trend analysis

Formula:

HI = 0.25×Temp + 0.25×HR + 0.20×Movement + 0.15×Feed + 0.15×Rumination
Alert: HI < 0.60 = RISK | HI < 0.40 = CRITICAL

📱 Web Dashboard

• Herd status grid (50 cows)
• Individual profiles with trends
• Real-time health index
• Priority alerts
• Manual data entry
• Image analysis
• Health trends

🔄 Data Pipeline

IoT Data → Validation → Database → Health Index → Alerts → Dashboard

IoT Simulator Setup

Automated Setup

python setup_simulator.py

Automatically:

• Adds simulator import to flask_app.py
• Injects 4 test endpoints
• Validates setup

API Test Endpoints

1. Generate Healthy Data

curl -X POST http://localhost:5000/api/test/generate-iot-data \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"cow_id":"TEST1","count":5}'

2. Simulate Disease

curl -X POST http://localhost:5000/api/test/simulate-disease \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"cow_id":"DISEASE","days":2}'

3. Check Status

curl http://localhost:5000/api/test/get-simulator-status

4. Reset Simulator

curl -X POST http://localhost:5000/api/test/reset-simulator

Real-Time 50-Cow Simulator

How to Run

python run_herd_simulator.py

What happens:

1. Initializes 50 cows (COW_001...COW_050)
2. Starts continuous data generation every 30 seconds
3. All 50 cows generate data simultaneously
4. Health index calculated in real-time
5. Alerts triggered for at-risk cows
6. Dashboard updates live

Data Generation Rate

• Readings per iteration: 50 (one per cow)
• Iteration interval: 30 seconds
• Daily readings: ~4,320 readings/day total
• Per-cow rate: ~86 readings/day

Customization

Edit run_herd_simulator.py:

# Change herd size
herd_sim.initialize_herd(count=100, prefix='COW')

# Change interval (seconds)
herd_sim.start_continuous_generation(interval_seconds=60)

# Trigger disease
herd_sim.trigger_disease_on_random_cows(count=10)
