“…Temperature, humidity, ventilation, and flipping the eggs over time are the four most crucial elements in an artificial incubator for the embryo within the fertilized egg to grow into a chick [6,7]. Therefore, when designing an artificial incubator, these important variables must be taken into account [8,9,10].…”

Artificial egg incubators are devices that are used to incubate and hatch eggs by maintaining the necessary conditions for fetal development within the egg. Any egg that is being incubated requires a great deal of attention and temperature control. This is accomplished by the use of a temperature control device that runs on electricity. Incubator temperatures are often kept between (98 and 100) degrees Fahrenheit. Even yet, only 78 to 85% of eggs will hatch. To increase the hatchability of the incubator unit, many recommendations are made. Moisture content is another essential consideration that should be stated in the range of 60% to 80%. While hatching the eggs in an incubator unit, there are a number of important aspects to consider. However, the most crucial component is to keep the temperature range within acceptable limits. In this respect, there are many research papers accessible. In general, this article reviewed latest 21 works in literature and provided a complete analysis of a number of ways to control temperature, humidity, and eggs rotation based on microcontrollers to provide a solution to the poultry industry in developing nations. A comparative analysis for recent incubator design approaches in literature is presented by this study including the works of five recent researchers such as, brief discussion of their objectives, problems they try to fix, methodology, preliminary results, and the decision made on each work. Finally, based on reviewing analysis, there is a gap that has not been covered, that is, the remote control and monitoring of the incubator using Internet of Things (IoTs) technology. This function is essential for the incubator to be accessible to boost the product and reduce the malfunction causing product and time losses.

A hybrid smart solar dryer (HSSD) based on indirect forced convection and a controlled auxiliary heating system was developed, fabricated, and tested to be convenient for sunny and cloudy weather conditions. The achievements of the developed dryer focus on controlling the temperature of the dryer, increasing the drying rate, reducing energy consumption, and providing high‐quality products. The HSSD was tested and evaluated for drying basil and sage herbs at 30, 40, and 50°C. The results showed that the fresh basil and sage leaves of 1 kg with a moisture content of 84.7% and 75.53% (wet basis) were dried within 58, 46, 32 and 38, 28, and 20 h at 30, 40, and 50°C, respectively. Correspondingly, the traditional drying methods achieved 96 h outdoors and 144 h indoors at room temperature. The average of the fabricated flat‐plate solar collector efficiency (thermal efficiency, ηfpsc) was ranged from 49.18% ± 9.52% to 66.02% ± 2.8%. The highest drying rates were achieved with the HSSD method. Moreover, the HSSD method led to a remarkable saving in energy with values ranging from 25.54% to 77.1% versus the traditional drying methods. While the best quality in terms of essential oil content and microbial load for the dried basil and sage herbs was achieved by the HSSD at 40°C. Finally, the HSSD is a promising energy‐efficient method where it can save 70% of energy consumption, thus reducing the carbon footprint of drying processes, and providing higher quality products compared to the conventional methods.
