Abstract.
Sensor technology in dairy farming has revolutionized animal management
by increasing productivity, health monitoring, and overall farm efficiency.
However, integrating sensor data from multiple devices and brands poses
considerable challenges. This article delves into the major challenges that
dairy farmers encounter when using various sensor technologies, such as data
compatibility, interoperability, standardization, data security, and data
management problems. It also covers prospective solutions, such as
standardizing data, harmonization efforts, and enhanced data integration
approaches. Addressing the aforementioned challenges is a cornerstone for fully
harnessing the potential of sensor technology in the dairy industry..
