Abstract

Cattle farming is crucial to the Brazilian economy, significantly contributing to the country’s GDP. Technological innovations are essential for increasing efficiency and sustainability. The e-Cattle platform emerges as an integrated solution for precision livestock farming, aggregating data from IoT devices managed by the BigBoxx middleware. This paper outlines a solution to overcome the challenges of storing and remotely accessing data collected by farm sensors. A cloud environment is introduced to synchronize e-Cattle data, comprising multi-tenant web applications. Also a memory management module for BigBoxx to address storage space constraints and prevent data overload. These innovations improve operational efficiency and contribute to the sustainability and productivity of the agricultural sector.
