ELETOR pilot automatic feed dispensing system

At ELETOR, we develop solutions that meet the real needs of modern farms. One of our current projects is a pilot automatic feed dispensing system, designed for use in livestock farming.

The system allows feed to be dispensed at set times, the mass of dispensed feed to be measured and the weight of the hopper to be monitored. This gives users better oversight of the feeding process, reduces the need for manual work and provides continuous access to data — both locally and remotely.

✅ scheduled feed dispensing

✅ measurement of dispensed feed mass

✅ hopper weight measurement

✅ remote system monitoring and management

✅ notifications and alerts on your phone

✅ measurement history and charts

✅ automation configured to meet the farm’s specific needs

✅ service access via a secure VPN connection

A major advantage of the solution is that it can be expanded further. The platform can be integrated not only with the feed dispensing system, but also with other elements of the farm’s infrastructure, such as:

📷 monitoring systems and IP cameras

⚡ electricity consumption measurement

💧 water consumption measurement

🌡️ temperature and humidity sensors

⚙️ control of ventilation, lighting or other equipment

📊 reports, alerts and automatic notifications

This means one system can become a central hub for overseeing multiple farm processes — from feeding and utilities monitoring to security and environmental conditions.

At the heart of the solution is a local server with virtualisation, a system router and a management panel based on Home Assistant. Users get a clear interface, phone access, data history, charts, automations and the option to develop the system further as the farm’s needs evolve.

The diagram shown illustrates an example of the system’s connection architecture — with local and remote access, and the option to expand the network infrastructure with additional access points and devices.

This solution aligns with the development of farms under the Agriculture 4.0 concept: automation, digitalisation, remote monitoring, device integration and better control of the production process.

We are currently running pilot deployments and refining the system for real working conditions on farms.
