Abstract—The article proposes a Labview based virtual instrument for visualization on technological and economic parameters in precision pig farming with WSN (Wireless Sensor Network). The dynamic economic model is applied in the virtual instrument, which calculates the economic effective temperature with a direct search optimization algorithm. On the front panel are visualized the current values of profit, feed consumption and heating depending on the input and measured parameters. Based on the received data, the relevant outputs for the control are activated. The proposed system offers a useful cost-effective way to manage in the precision pig farm.


Index Terms—Labview, WSN, precision pig farming, economic effective temperature.
