“…The misplacement of sensors at inappropriate locations can lead to erroneous data collection, consequently resulting in the mismanagement of the control system and the compromise of the conducive rearing environment within the pig house. Furthermore, the placement of sensors at strategic locations holds pivotal importance for the twin goals of energy conservation and emissions reduction, as it helps avert unnecessary energy consumption [6].…”

Sensors were of paramount importance in the context of poultry and livestock farming, serving as essential tools for monitoring a variety of production management parameters. The effective surveillance and optimal control of the swine facility environment critically depend on the implementation of a robust strategy for situating the optimal number of sensors in precisely the right locations. This study presents a dynamic sensor placement approach for pigsties using the three-way k-means algorithm. The method involves determining candidate sensor combinations through the application of the k-means algorithm and a re-clustering strategy. The optimal sensor locations were then identified using the Joint Entropy-Based Method (JEBM). This approach adjusts sensor positions based on different seasons (summer and winter) to effectively monitor the overall environment of the pigsty. We employ two clustering models, one based on particle swarm optimization and the other on genetic algorithms, along with a re-clustering strategy to identify candidate sensor combinations. The joint entropy-based method (JEBM) helps select the optimal sensor placement. Fused data from the optimal sensor layout undergo a fuzzy fusion process, reducing errors compared to direct averaging. The results show varying sensor needs across seasons, and dynamic placement enhances pigsty environment monitoring. Our approach reduced the number of sensors from 30 to 5 (in summer) and 6 (in winter). The optimal sensor positions for both seasons were integrated. Comparing the selected sensor layout to the average of all sensor readings representing the overall pigsty environment, the RMSE were 0.227–0.294 and the MAPE were 0.172–0.228, respectively, demonstrating the effectiveness of the sensor layout.
